why is the site so obtuse about exactly what the service is? Took me registering and opening the web client to realize that I had to have a PC to download the server on?

@jordankrueger Hi Jordan, any suggestions for how we could improve it?
Jordan Krueger
@andrewmd5 As someone who can't use the service (I only have a Mac) I still don't quite understand what it is you're selling here. You say "stream all your games" in one area, so all I can figure out is that this is a way to play the games I currently own on a mobile device. You're just making some perplexing choices, like showing this big list of games in a Rainway window – it made me think this was a Steam-like service where I could play any game that you license on my mobile device. Moreover, it seems like the way you're using the term "streaming games" that you feel like that's a signaler to readers of how this works, but I had no idea what that meant. "Streaming games have never been this easy!" is the second sentence on the page and I have no idea what that means, while the next sentence is "Rainway makes streaming games so easy you'll be playing in just a few clicks." which means almost exactly the same thing as the sentence before it without explaining any more clearly what the service is. Howabout something like "Download Rainway to your PC to play games installed on your computer on any mobile device" or something like that? Also, adding "(PC)" to the "Download server" button seems like it'd make most sense since you're pushing a file directly to me without any idea that I need a PC to use it until it's already on my computer.

@jordankrueger This service is for PC gamers with and existing collection of games looking to stream them to other devices. Thanks for the feedback however, I will try and apply it appropriately.

Oh god it's OnLive all over again

@productpearson While OnLive was a bit ahead of its time, Rainway is a self-hosted platform. This means you can use your existing hardware, internet and games without paying extra money.

Anyone here remembers OnLive? They tried to do this and I actually played a few games with them but they failed and closed up shop. Though the internet speeds are much faster now and that was the primary reason for their failure. I hope you guys make it! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

very brilliant idea.

I thought this would be similar to liquidsky, but it really takes them out of the equation as middlemen. The big plus is that you don't have to wait for them to make it work for a certain device, the downside is you have to have the horsepower yourself to enable play, but this is very freeing for pc gamers to play on the move. This is really cool. Great video as well, I watched it twice.

Really love the concept of this. Great job @andrew, really cool to have seen this project through development and all the way up until this moment. Hope you guys can keep killing it! Pros: Awesome idea and if executed right, can be used a ton Cons: Always at a slight disadvantage with certain hardcore pc games (such as pubg) since you're playing vs mouse and keyboard :-)
