# Additional Reference
## Recovery
Recovering games used to be a tired process of maintaining product keys. Today, this is less an impact. Instead, one should buy games through services that allow reinstallation of the same. [https://steampowered.com Steam] and [https://uplay.ubi.com/ Uplay] both support this functionality. SWTOR and MMO's like it do not install unique content directly to the local machine, so they are easily reinstalled.

Independent games or freeware should be preserved through keeping copies of the installers.

## Streaming
Linux [[Tachikoma]] or [[DedSec]] hosts can stream from a Games install using Steam in-home streaming. Wireless AC connections are recommended, and [https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=8571-GLVN-8711 firewall rules] need to be made.
