I've been thinking about this for a week or so but I have to admit that Nintendo could be onto something with the Switch. While I don't agree with the tablet being the actual console and taking the actual console out of the house, the notion of playing your game on the go, almost non stop is a bit appealing. Now why do I say this, given my hateful words towards that console? Easy, I ran into the steam version of Mobius Final Fantasy. That game gives the promise of being able to start from Android or Steam and continuing from the opposite console. It's a great idea but the sad thing is, there are plenty of mobile games with Steam versions and not many of them offer Steam to mobile save file syncing. It's a sad and missed opportunity.
What would it take to bring Switch style gaming to PC? Personally I would rather have my Steam Machine stationary at home but be able to either boot the Android version of a Steam game or stream a Steam game on my tablet when I leave the house. I know Android apps like Remotr exist and they offer you the opportunity to stream your PC games on the go but they also come with major flaws. Remotr's biggest flaw and probably the only one, keeping it from being perfect is its lack of bluetooth controller support and proper button translation.
Again, what's keeping people from trying this and developers from making the option to continue progress on the go an easy one?
