Why Can’t We Remote Play Together ALL Games?

[mdesaleah]

Why is there a limit to which games can or can’t use this feature. It still needs a lot of work anyways, but at least have it available

It’s opt-in for developers.

[crunchyfrog]

Yeah, you have to remember, Steam is only Valve's store space. They can offer and implement new features to it to their heart's content. But if such a feature affects sales or anything in any way to the rights holders of the games, that's something they just can't up and do off their own back.

SO, it's an opt in by developers and publishers. If you see a game that you'd like on there, by all means drop them a line and tell them.

I wouldn't waste your time with people like Warner Bros, Take Two or Activision though. They're .... let's say, on the greedy side of things.

Correct me if I am wrong but... as far as I know you can.?

I mean Remote Play (formerly known as Steam-Link / Steam In-Home-Streaming etc.) works like this: You remotely log into your home PC (from a Laptop, Tablet, Steam-Link or what ever) and then you Remote-Controll your PC via Steam BigPicture. Means you are actually playing on your home PC while instead of having a Keyboard and Mouse (or any other input device) attached directly to your machine you use your remote client as the input device... no?

So actually you can Remote Play everything. At least I did not encounter any game I could not play remotely

[crunchyfrog]

Oh ♥♥♥♥, you're absolutely right. I was thinking of Family Sharing.

I think my brain's gone into self-isolation on its own.

O! I failed to read closely, at any rate—thought the subject was RPT.

add “ninja’d” to my bill

I would've felt this thought if I wasn't currently isolating from it

this ppl tend to forget the last word together, remote play together
so its hard to know whether OP is talking about "remote play" which is in home streaming which works for ALL games or if OP is talking about "remote play together" which is a NEW feature that allows you play coop games with anyone regardless if they own the game or not on your own comp which is for SELECT FEW games
hope that clarifies thing

Remote Play now lets you stream and allow other players to play games streaming from your computer. Like Parsec but worse. Changed the title to include Together since it’s apparently the correct name

that is remote play together
remote play means only you play your games on any device but hosted on a host machine
remote play = you only
remote play together = you and others

I know both features pretty well... yet still the question would be obsolete in both cases...
If you take it by word than my first answer is the exact answer

If you take it as Steam Remote Play Together well the limits are quite obvious since the slogan of this feature talks about local-multiplayer games casted into online multiplayer games.
So first thing to eliminate: why would you want to have it on singleplayer games at all?
Second thing to eliminate: how would you expect it to work at all on multiplayer games that are peer to peer multiplayers (= one client per machine connected to other single clients or a set of single clients).
And the last thing to eliminate: why would you want to have it on games where an online-multiplayer exists in the first place?

Yeah I meant the second one

Cannot confirm the "but worse" part actually. Tested hundrets of games so far even from outside of my house and it went butter-smooth.
