Plenty of people I know refer to local game streaming setups as services, especially when they’re run as system services or hosted servers (like I do).
In my world, anything that runs persistently and offers functionality, whether it’s local or the cloud, is a service. I run a local game streaming setup that fits that definition exactly and so yeah, when I hear game streaming service, that’s what I think of.
That said, I get that others could associate the term more with commercial cloud solutions with some reflection. Just not where my brain goes by default, since I don’t use them and nobody I know does or would as we can host our own “services” for this purpose.
