Steam library is available on geforce now service and probably will be on Xbox Cloud one day.

I don't think you get it.

How could streaming via GeForce Now ever be the only option when Steam exists?

People who defend cloud and rent services are really stupid. When this become the only model to play(cloud + rent ms dream) they will control everything even how long you play.

well, isn't it a good thing then that GeForce now isn't a rent service?

it's a way to play the PC games you own on hardware that wouldn't be able to run them.

GeForce Now is exactly how cloud streaming should be. an optional service to play your own games with.

To whoever plays more that 100 hours per month, gaming is becoming a hobby where you should invest in a decent PC.

That is like saying that you can't buy Blu-Rays and DVDs because Netflix exists. Apples and oranges.

That's literally a problem with a lot of TV series and even movies these days.

I looked at the gifs hosting page had a link to this trash

LMAO

The lyrics to that "song".........

Why you lyin' on your dick, lyin' on your dick?
I smell cap
He say he like cat
But that is not a fact

Fucking brain rot music.

Anyway, on topic. Fuck Nivdia.

Microsoft right now

This stage of conditioning is "it's not that bad". Wait until you're used to that and they make changes. Netflix used to be cheap with way more content.

You want to play above cap? You pay extra per additional hour.

If Steam won't exist I won't be playing games anymore.

Imagine having an ultimate tier and having restrictions in it. I just checked my playtime from last month and it's says 20 hours. But next month will be much higher. GFN was a great option to ditch pc and consoles. Now I'm not sure. It's crazy to me that we have restrictions for a system that requires us to own the games to begin with.

So this is what digital shrinkflation looks like.

 

[xrnzaaas]

That's an interesting way of celebrating becoming the most valuable company in the world.

Now imagine a world in which streaming is the leading way of how people play games. One click on the big corpo's side and the deal changes, suddenly limiting how you can enjoy your hobby.

And cloud continues to be a joke. Imagine paying full price for Netflix only for them to turn around and say "actually, you've had enough Netflix this month."
The point of a cloud subscription gaming service is to game whenever you want, wherever you want. Laughable change.

 

[proandrad]

Honestly it was probably me but the one time I tried gforce now it was a terrible experience. The thing took me to a virtual desktop and had me downloading cyberpunk on it.

 

[Kronark]

I put in 98 hours on Metaphor in like 2 weeks last month and about ~175 hours on Satisfactory in September alone. This shit is completely unworkable.

I already had massive security issues with the idea that I'd just login my steam account on someone else's cloud system to begin with.

You can't buy Netflix movies and DVDs when they release on Netflix but luckily they usually suck anyway.

It absolutely is a rent service. It's hardware renting.
