Counter backlash then. You don't have to support people that don't support GeForce Now over Stadia. GeForce Now is no different than renting some server and streaming to another device.

From what I've heard people are able to play Cyberpunk 2077 with RTX on using GFN (GeForce Now).

That's interesting, I'm surprised you can't use Steam to stream games. But interesting nonetheless.

Can't really backlash considering I already own the games of those publishers who initially supported GFN and then pulled their games from it :P I already paid for the Mafia trilogy, Fallout & Elder Scrolls, GTA, Red Dead Redemption series, DOOM, Wolfenstein, Borderlands series, .....

FWIW I paid for Stadia for a month but I wouldn't sink much money into it, either. The games I want to play are mostly missing on Stadia too. Wouldn't pay for either GFN or Stadia at this point.

Yup, CD Projekt Red are one of the publishers of AAA games that seem to have no beef with GFN.

Oh, I forgot about Steam Link actually. I've used that too. It was... okay, but I experienced more bugs and couldn't get the same quality I got with Moonlight. Moonlight has higher framerates available (90fps, 120fps) and is more actively maintained than the Steam Link app (the Android TV version, anyway). Moonlight does depend on you having an NVIDIA GPU though.


You can avoid buying new games from publishers that don't allow you to play their games on GFN.

I'm sure they have data analysts that will notice the pattern if enough people are doing this.
