Google Stadia shuts down internal studios, changing business focus

GeForce Now can be used with Steam quite seamlessly. In fact, GeForce Now's value is to play the games you already own on various platforms on their hardware. They're not trying to be another games store.

To clarify the other commenter's point, I am a founders edition of geforceNow and it used to have just everything. Like if it was in my Steam library, I could play it. Early editions just basically launched a slimmed down RDP session with Steam being started. It was awesome.

Now, they put you in a weird virtual zone where your library is restricted to only the game you are currently playing. And if that game is not allowed by the publisher, you can't play it. So I can't play Slime Rancher. I can't play Shadows of Mordor. And it seems like over time there is less and less there.

It sucks, because it was basically my dream gaming service. Kind of like Google Play Music was my dream music service. :(

I loved Google play music. When they migrated over to Youtube Music I was happy that I could still upload my albums and migrate my playlists. https://support.google.com/youtubemusic/answer/9716522

I don't think this is true anymore after publishers pulled back.
