The functionality will be removed from all Shield TV devices early next year.

NVIDIA Gamestream is a service that, alongside the appropriate hardware, allows you to stream games in 4K from a beefy PC to your living room television. It launched in 2013 and worked alongside the NVIDIA Shield TV device, a piece of kit that I no longer use but have fond memories of, and was such a good, fuss-free and stable implementation of local streaming that many preferred it to the more popular alternatives offered by platforms like Steam.

This has gone down with people who use Shield TV like a cup of cold sick, mainly because GameStream is among the core functionalities of the Shield hardware: it was certainly one of the features I used a lot. Announcing the end of support for a live service is one thing but this is different, and I can well believe that it was a big selling point for many who bought the Shield.."That's my primary mode of gaming with my Shield and 3080.

That, unfortunately, does not appear to be the case. In fact NVIDIA's announcement seems to try and get out ahead of this by suggesting the available alternatives. But it is undeniable that GameStream was a selling point for the Shield and some people will have bought it in the not-unreasonable expectation that it would just 'work' for as long as needed.
