Does this mean geforce now on Linux

The “installer” is just a set of scripts. Quote from the “NVIDIA GeForce NOW” bash script:

flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=/app/bin/chrome --file-forwarding com.google.Chrome @@u @@ --window-size=1024,640 --force-device-scale-factor=1.25 --device-scale-factor=1.25 --app=https://play.geforcenow.com/

It’s just an icon for the Flatpak version of Google Chrome opening https://play.geforcenow.com/

Hardly a game changer.

Nintendo famously changed their mind when Mortal Kombat 1 sold better on Genesis/Mega Drive than Super Nintendo.

Doesn’t change the fact that Nintendo only owned a minority share and that this specific game was not published by Nintendo. They had access to the development tools already, so it was no special treatment for Conker.

Even back then this kind of advertisement (and game) was an anomaly coming from Nintendo.

Yeah. One reason being that this wasn’t a Nintendo game. It was a Rare/THQ game. Nintendo didn’t publish this.

Linux and Steam Deck are different platforms by Valve stats.
