Valve In-Home Game Streaming Supports Windows, OS X & Linux

MojoKid (1002251) writes "Valve has today pushed out a new update to its Steam client on all three of the major OSes that finally takes In-home Game-Streaming out of beta. Similar to NVIDIA's GameStream, which streams native gameplay from a GeForce-equipped PC to the NVIDIA SHIELD, Valve's solution lets you stream from one PC to another, regardless of which OS it's running. What this means is you could have a SteamOS-based PC in your living-room, which is of course Linux-based, and stream games from your Windows PC in another room which ordinarily would never run under Linux. Likewise, you could stream a game from a Windows PC to an OS X machine, or vice versa."

My pro tip of the day: if the machine is steaming, don't even take it out of the store.

When confronted with one problem, some think "I'll use recursion". Now they are confronted with one problem.

Because computers aren't supposed to emit steam.
It could be a Valve problem.
