I thought a lot more people had heard of AirConsole!

Obviously the performance is bad for games requiring quick response times but with that said there are a couple of ones you would think wouldn't work with the delay/lag but actually work fine (racing games). The best games are the party games though.

This is literally the first time I've even heard of it.
Interesting! I must be living in a bubble. Among my friends it's on level with Steam. Standard thing to start up at parties and social gatherings and been so for many years.
The standard among some of my friends was to use LogMeIn Hamachi to play LAN multiplayer games over the net. Never tried it myself though.
Wow, throwback! I played a few games over Hamachi with some fun European folks back in 2008 or so.
I work at a AAA games studio as a programmer and I've never heard about AirConsole. Must give it a go at some point.
Thanks! Yes, I was looking forward to playing multiplayer racing games without much setup. Got to try this thing out at the next party :)
Wow - I've never heard of it before, and consider myself relatively knowledgeable when it comes to gaming. How long has it been around?
Since September 2015 - but started very small back then
maybe 3 years? (just a guess)
