#12I don't actually see it happening, but it'd be nice if Valve just released the source code and let people compile it for themselves.
I don't think there's any "secret sauce" in the Steam in-home streaming that's actually proprietary/private. It's just a H264 video stream in one direction and controller button presses in the other, over a custom made low latency protocol.
Given Apple and Valve seemed to be working together to bring VR to the Mac recently, I'm surprised they weren't given any leeway at all.

#13Wow, when trying to access this from the EU, I'm blocked by this huge pop-up telling me to either accept their tracking or fuck off. The cookie policy makes no mention on how to access the site without clicking "I accept", it just directs you to optout.aboutads.info.

Is this really GDPR compliant?

#14Maybe some mid-level manager at Apple is trying to get a promotion with this. "Look at how loyal and useful I am to the company. I saw this revenue-threatening thing in the news and I killed it."
May be he is in this thread now!

#15They've just made a huge mistake. Upset the hardcore gamers market to stop essentially a remote desktop app?
I guess the problem is the store. The app allows to access valve's store (which is far cheaper than games in the apple store). If they remove the ability to buy games I am sure the remote desktop app would be ok. I am guessing anyway
Wait so TeamViewer, Remote Desktop etc. are all banned in the Apple world because I can use them to buy things from other stores?

It’s one if the worst I have seen. There is no way not to accept this. I can’t see how this is permitted.

Theres even an open-source version in Java called Moonlight or so.

Meanwhile the headlining article is "NO ONE’S READY FOR GDPR". The irony is palpable.

#20Can someone please update this to the canonical non-amp URL:
https://www.theverge.com/2018/5/24/17392470/apple-rejects-va...
Apart from not supporting googles effort to control the web, the amp page loads slower than the original and has a ridiculous “cookie agreement” with a button that doesn’t work.
