In general both from the perspective of the existing relationships with MS and Sony AND what publishers/devs are doing with Nvidia are both anti-consumer. How is it anti-consumer?

Giving consumers consumers only the option of not having access or to pay twice (or more) if they want to play the title they already purchased on a different platform is in no way favorable to consumers and only serves to generate more revenue for the business. Particularly in the age of digital distribution where there is close to no cost to allow the title to be used on different platforms by the end user.

It's not an entirely different platform ecosystem, to be fair. It's the same platform streamed in from somewhere else. Here's another competitor that keeps the desktop interface intact.

AbsolutSurgen Posted March 10, 2020 Author Share Posted March 10, 2020 I agree with some of the sentiments expressed here, GeForce Now isn't a new platform like Google Stadia. One way of looking at it, is that users are merely paying to rent a "virtual computer" and paying to stream games from it. One could argue (and I think convincingly), that this is very similar to renting a second computer in your basement that you use to stream games to another device (which you can absolutely do with Steam). The only difference is that it is a virtual computer in Nvidia's data centre. I don't see how this is anti-developer. IMHO, this gives them extra market potential on their existing Steam platform.

Just like Apple has liability with what you upload to your iCloud. Apple is not liable for what you upload to iCloud. All that content falls under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. There are exceptions for specific illegal stuff and for intellectual property claims, but in general providers are not liable for user created content on their platforms.

foosh Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 right, just because all the subpeonas that get submitted don't actually go anywhere or a settlement is made, its still a pain in the ass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 The exodus from GeForce Now continues with Xbox Game Studios, Warner Brothers Interactive Entertainment, Codemasters, and Klei Entertainment on April 24. BUT, Ubisoft seems to be totally all-in! So that's something...right?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
