Thats a really shady thing for Nvidia to do.

It's so dumb that Nvidia didn't get permission or even contact these devs to have their game on the service.

 

They aren't selling a virtual PC.  They're selling a service to specifically play games, and using said games to advertise their service.  The devs should absolutely be given the option to consent or not.

Devs should let you play the game you already bought .  That guy seems like an asshole tbh . Fuck his shitty indie game lol

Yep.  Devs and pubs aren't going to stand for it.  They've all got their own ideas... and these publishers are going to want to sell the rights to streaming their games to the highest bidders.

 

I know I know... "It's like running a virtual machine and you have to pay for the games so why should pubs/devs care" but there's all sorts of grey there. 

 

I knew this was going to happen after the first ones started dropping out.

 

Nvidia is gonna have to figure out another method.
