A feature of Nvidia's Shield TV box that is important to many will soon be history. The manufacturer will discontinue Gamestream in mid-February.

If you stream your games from your PC to your Shield TV, the news from Nvidia should hit you hard. An update to the game app will remove the gamestream feature from the app .

If you have a Shield, Nvidia advises you to use Steam Link. The problem is that you can only stream games from Steam to your Shield TV. Alternatively, you can use the in-house paid service GeForce Now. The manufacturer does not recommend skipping the app update. At some point, the feature will stop working.
