I have used Shadow on and off since they have had a European offering. I actually had a great experience with it for a while but the last time I tried it the service seemed relatively poor. It's great if you have a really good network connection but for the hardware you get now, the price is definitely not worth it.
You could get a similarly specced machine for a few months worth of service cost and if you already have a good network connection, could then use that for Parsec if you needed to access it remotely.
I used Shadow a lot when I was travelling and didn't really have a fixed location - and it did the job, but most of the time I stuck to an old fashioned RDP connection anyway.
Important note: you're not allowed to use it for any form of hosting, including game servers etc. Their abuse policy on people keeping machines awake when they are not being used for actual client computing is pretty strict from what I have heard too. I never had an issue personally, but I only used it for software development, media rendering and the odd game.

didn't know that they force you to shutdown the vm i only knew that it would shutdown if you didn't use it
I never heard of them till now but website looks good and prices are attractive.
I will forward the link to some friends to try it.
I'm not a gamer anymore.
I’ve used Shadow before for a good 7 or 8 months, it’s a good service for what it sells as, affordable GPU servers. Official support lacks a little but their Discord community makes up for it.

I am not using this but I used to test someone based in Romania, and it was a poor experience, in gaming my mouse was moving randomly in down.
Probably lack of a mouse lock feature. Games that force your mouse to be in the middle of the screen can be really confusing when the streamer client can’t/doesn’t enforce the mouse being in the middle of the screen.

Maybe enable raw input in your game settings, or use rinput to inject it.
Yeah, I have used Shadow for gaming on my laptop. It's an actual service and it does work however, you do need a bit of tech knowledge to know how to use it as it is a machine that you are connecting to remotely so disconnects may occur and is normal.

I used shadow drive for a while in the past if that's counted.

It auto-shutdowns after ~20 minutes.

What specific aspects are you curious about—gaming, productivity, or something else?

On reddit or youtube you may find about this bug, is a common bug for Apex Legends and many other games. But on CSGO or Cyberpunk etc. it works.
Note: I am saying about another streaming app is not related to the topic itself.
