If that was possible then Twitch streamers would hack some many people with viruses.

That is something different altogether. Watching a stream is not at all the same as playing the same game via streaming.

Not really. The only difference is that your controls are being streamed back as an input. Nothing is being streamed to you other than what the host sees.

If your input controls are being streamed to the host then how would you get a virus? It is the same just with the input being streamed back.

That wasn't the point of the argument that Twitch streams aren't Remote Play.
