    The war with Nvidia and PlayStation Now heats up! Streaming games was hyped up for a few years back in...2012? 2010? Annnnd it didn't really happen. Maybe now is the time. I would be extremely happy to be able to play CSGO on my phone or a tablet.

    This is fantastic news and a really appreciated move by Valve, especially with the built in controller support. I am getting pretty tired of having to purchase games I already own again just so I can play them on my mobile devices. Sometimes those purchases are justifiable since I want to support a dev or to get the touchscreen control support, but in many cases they feel like a waste of money (especially since the prices are rather high on mobile compared to PC). With this new app, pretty much every game I have in my Steam Library that has controller support will work on mobile! Awesome.

    I wonder what the latency is going to be like though. I doubt this will work for twitch based stuff but pause & play, turn based and generally slower paced games will probably work fine.
