Mmhhh.. Remote Desktop is different to game-streaming.


same basic idea. a program runs on a computer somewhere else than your location, you access it through a network, provide feedback with a controller, keyboard, or mouse. i dont see the big difference, its the same basic idea, just with a lower lat needed


Technically it is different. Protocols like RDP are much better nowadays like back many years what VNC did (the vanilla VNC).

Try to run a game via RDP...
