GeForce Now has shown that when you depend on existing launchers like Steam, your service's library is can change based on the whims of 3rd parties

I really hope that there will be a court case that tells the game companies to stuff their objections where they belong and makes it clear that every game I've bought on Steam can be played on Geforce Now. I bought the game. I play it on a computer. The game companies should have zero rights to decide whether that computer sits under my desk or in a data center.

That was mostly Stadia's fault for tying up exclusive streaming rights. If they die all the better for the industry.

The steam games that I'm thinking of (chiefly MS Flight Sim) aren't on Stadia
