Hello everyone,

I don't know much about computers, but lately I've been thinking about something computer-related. Is it possible to play games on external hardware, through an internet connection?

So for example, I have an old computer that can't run games because the hardware is outdated. Would it theoretically be possible to play a game on it, if the game runs on external hardware and is being streamed through an internet connection the the old computer?

I would really like to hear your thoughts about it :).

Thanks!

Thanks for you answers!

I'm curious about this in a commercial way. So could I setup a server park with all the hardware needed, and let people use the hardware (I own) to play games on high/ultra on their laptop/computer that hasn't got the specs to play these games normally?
