So, I'm sharing my continuing experience with GFN:
I have noticed that even more games have stopped working for me (Borderlands 1 and 2), adding to the list that includes Doom 2016, Quake Champions, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. If they can’t continue to provide access to games that I and others want to play, why should we stick around?!?
I was just about ready to buy Borderlands 3 since it’s launching on Steam this weekend, but if nVidia can’t keep their developers/publishers from pulling their games, I’m not sure....

For the smaller companies, I wonder if it’s just them not realizing what it is. I can’t help but wonder if it had gone final before Stadia was released, things would be different. Now had been in beta for years without any developer freaking out about it.

It doesn’t. In the early days of the beta you could get any Steam game to work with a workaround. You could even see the Windows desktop. The comic is quite correct: you’re just renting access to a remote PC.

Basically, this.
You're paying to rent a remote PC from NVIDIA. They would rather you pay to rent their games when you stream, or alternately buy them a second time. Because it doesn't matter that you had to buy their game in the first place in order to play it on GFN. By God, you should pay twice and pad that bottom line, you consumer scum!
Glad NVIDIA is continuing to support their GameStream solution too so I can just stream it from my own PC and give publishers the middle finger. Doesn't matter if GFN gives me less lag if the fookin' publishers won't let me use it.

When there's a multiplayer version, I'm going to be on Frost's team. Well, except he doesn't seem to actually need a team...I mean, what's the point? "Hey look, it's Frost and His Merry Gang of Useless Hangers-On!" Or something.
