GeForce NOW announces support for Steam Deck, Apple Vision Pro, Meta Quest and Pico mixed-reality devices; plus 'DOOM: The Dark Ages' and 'Avowed' are coming to the cloud.
Great, it doesn’t make sense not to have cloud gaming integrated easily(i.e. no translation later needed, as it’s running on a server) Especially if you already have the games in your library.
It went live so you could play anything on it and publishers pitched a fit. Presumably because they’d sold exclusive streaming rights to somebody else.
Even though it’s literally none of their goddamn business where you run the games you already paid for.
Unfortunately all your games on Steam are a license to run the game not ownership of the game. This was true on CD and dvd too but unenforceable. Now it’s enforceable and publishers can dictate how you play their games.
I guess publishers could say you’re not allowed to use Steam Proton with their games too. But presumably Valve could say you’re not welcome on their platform unless you support all their tools.
Now if Valve set up a cloud streaming service… That would be an interesting thing. I wonder where the publishers would stand?

I’ve used GeForce Now, out of like 200 steam games I have I can use like 20% on that platform. You can’t just install any game you own.
This isn’t Nvidia’s fault though.

Rookie numbers.
What? You only play Slay The Spire and Vampire Survivors? Those are still rookie numbers. We gotta pump those numbers up!
I’ve been on Steam for a while, and it’s mostly winter and summer sales. If only I found the time to play them. 😅
