While there's no release date yet for the service, Jackbox Games is hoping to bring a beta version to "one or two smart TV platforms" in spring this year. More platforms and features will then follow.

Despite privacy and bloat concerns from some people online, I don't think a single person I know would buy a TV if it couldn't run streaming apps on it.

@simple @JimVanDeventer with all the piracy risk, I would NEVER connect my TV to internet. All IOT poses a serious threat of both piracy and privacy.

It sounds from the way you phrased this like you feel that every IOT device is just a ticking time bomb waiting to become a malware and privacy nightmare.

If so, as someone with some Cybersecurity expertise, I just want to say that is a reasonable conclusion supported by all of the data that I'm aware of.
