      When you stream a game like that what is the game actually running on? Like a giant console somewhere? I ask cause my fire stick always suggests AAA games that I’m always wondering what hardware is actually running the game since the fire stick isn’t a gaming console

        The most ironic thing is that a lot of these game streaming services actually use linux on the backend, and there have even been games that didn’t support linux on their normal release but were available through a game streaming platform running on linux.
