Man, I'm so salty about GFN - they have a great product and an economic model that makes sense but, for whatever reason, they gave in to publishers' pressure to remove some games from their service. This is doubly upsetting, as publishers should have no say on where I play the games I've already purchased - whether it's on a computer I physically own or on a computer I rent in the cloud.

- Bombthecat 6y agoThey didn't gave in. Publishers changed their licence agreement to exclude streaming or cloud. Since you are free to change the licence at anytime you like, they did. My bet is we will see white labelled streaming services from Blizzard and co. We will have dozens of gaming streaming services, much like film streaming services...
- tsimionescu 6y agoSadly, you generally don't purchase a game, but a license to play one in some form. I think the exact limits of their control have not yet been tested in court, but I don't think NVIDIA wants to be the one testing it. And any way, NVIDIA is in no position to challenge the games industry on such things - they are very much in bed with them and would lose enormously if games suddenly all went for a big 'best on AMD' logo.
