This sounds great, personally I don't have the right video card for moonlight or whatever so steam streaming sounds worth a go, plus this guy is not averse to using Nintendo's official video decoding binary (and letting the end user build the app to avoid distribution legalities), which might get better results quicker than a fully legal solution (which he's also planning to do). Everybody wins.
Right.. thanks for the info. I wasn’t aware of that. My only concern with them, especially if there are the one designing streaming platform for the like of Ubisoft is that I’m not sure how keen Nintendo is going to be with an official game streaming app that could damage their cloud revenue ecosystem.
Actually they’re not...
The Switch is not in active development. But keep an eye out for our app on Xbox and Android coming soon!

Yeah. They didn't sold it like they were doing an app for the Switch. No reddit post, no trailer using the console, no mention about it ever in they social media... They didn't ever lie. They are good people.
I don’t think anyone is arguing there aren’t good people or don’t have the technology working, but at this stage it doesn’t look like Nintendo is going to approve such an app and it would most certainly happen through homebrew and open source channels first.. but I could be wrong
The way things are going, Rainway partnering with Google for project stream, I wouldn't be surprised if Google bought Rainway sometime in the near future.
They did though, their launch trailer had the switch in it multiple times with someone using it to play games on rainway.
