Could you build this?
Partial A controller-friendly launcher and streaming front end can be vibe-coded by wrapping existing streaming stacks such as Sunshine/Moonlight. Reliable low-latency streaming, controller input routing, and OS-level console-like behavior are hard to get right without systems expertise.
What it would actually take: The launcher UI and settings are AI-codeable, but the core depends on low-latency video encoding and transport, input forwarding, and OS-level session and display management. Those need systems-level networking, GPU, and Windows/Linux expertise plus extensive hardware testing.
