    Parsec has lower latency, less setup, easier setup, more options, does not require a specific GPU, supports multiplayer, does not require a static IP for remote use, does not drop frames, allows gamepad rebinding, supports 264 & 265 and looks like double the bitrate of moonlight at the same bitrate. Comparing these two is an insult to Parsec, which is perfect. Moonlight is GARBAGE.

    Steam Link is the only streaming platform that's worse than Moonlight, which is unbelievably bad and perpetually broken itself.
