I subscribe to Geforce Now. The tech works well but the business model is a bit niche. I pay a subscriber fee but still have to buy the games. If I already had a large game library then it's because I already had a computer that could play them. If I buy new games that my computer can't run then I will lose access to them once I stop my subscription. Not every game on my steam library is supported, in fact the library is missing a lot of the major publishers besides EA.
As a business model I'd much rather have an all you can eat Netflix model like Xbox Game Pass (decent library, bad streaming tech) or a cloud gaming PC that I could install and run anything (Like Shadow but not bankrupt). Stadia had the worse business model of them all. Special hardware costs, subscription fee, pay for games at prices higher than retail, a tiny library, and know your licenses will be lost once Google inevitably shuts down the service.
