Games maker Valve has launched Steam In-Home Streaming, a new service that allows Steam subscribers to view and play games that are running on their primary PCs on devices located anywhere in their homes.
"When you log into Steam on two computers on the same network, they automatically connect, allowing you to remotely install, launch, and play games as though you were sitting at the remote PC," Valve's page announcing the new feature explains.
 Because the games are still running on the player's primary PC, the system will allows players to play resource-gobbling games on lower-end hardware.
The connection happens virtually instantly, Valve says, meaning players can get up from their chairs mid-game, move to another computer in another room – perhaps, say, someplace more private – and resume playing right where they left off.

Just a note that this is a Gaming site that I enjoy getting games from.
