It could be the best gog on geforce now

I am sure the other spambots will understand this??

"Geforce Now". I assume this relates to Galaxy 2, you might check/ask on the Galaxy 2 forum: gog.com/forum -> look to the left for the forums

You guys are going to be so lost in the future... lol

Geforce Now is a streaming platform. It lets you stream games you already own from several big services (not all). It just released from beta I think. The op likely wants the option to stream his GOG games with it as well. The games need to be supported on GFN to work (you log in with Steam there for instance).

Nope. This is GeForce Now. Being able to stream games (that are supported currently) one owns already on Steam, Origin, Uplay, Epic, etc. - almost any game store which has a client, GOG being the exception - via NVIDIA's service that has been in the works for some time. Basically, the thing that's going to kill Stadia. ;)

Just for shits and giggles, I've tried it with Doom '16 and it worked reasonably well although I did encounter some odd lag-hitches here and there. Definitely beats ye olde dead OnLive, but it's still not how I ever see myself playing games in the future. I'll take some dedicated local hardware over that, any day of the week

I really doubt GOG will ever support that. *shrug*

This comment implies that Stadia had a chance of living.

Oh goodie, more streaming shit. It’s even worse than the worst drm, if anything it is the Ultimate DRM, no user ownership at all. Shame I can only downvote the OP once.

whether you (or any1 else here) like it or not, streamin' will be (an' is) teh future, for all media. thats not to say other services cannot survive.

downvoted for bein' a cock

Yes it is to say exactly that. We are already seeing it happen in multiple industries such as television, film, and music where streaming is the only place the content is "sold" (in quotes because it is not sold to own, only to rent for continuing recurring fees).

People aren't seeing the long term picture of what happens when these practices gain footholds. DRM existed before Scheme but once Scheme proliferated, DRM infested like 99% of the gaming market. Movie rental existed before Netflix but once Netflix digital rentals caught on, now the only option for most new content is rental.

Once the user base for streaming becomes big enough I doubt adoption by publishers/developers will take long, between full control over their game (great for selling us the things we can't do on our own anymore in microtransactions) and the chance of pirating a game becoming almost nil.

This has already happened once. Back in the 90s, remember the era of dodgy satellite boxes for sports channels. Piracy of tv and moves? It all stems from this. If it was just sky and Netflix, ok that is manageable. It’s not, it’s is almost expvery single company going off with their own thing, meaning hundreds of different subscriptions, all garnering your data for their own ends, totally controlling every you watch. If that’s the future you want...

That would be Stadia. It looks like GeForce Now just lets you stream games that you do own, say if you're out of town and just have your laptop (or even your phone?).

I hate DRM, too, but this is more like an optional service than anything else. It's not directly competing with GOG or any other storefront.

Your out with a laptop that doesn’t have enough room to store what you want to play, but does have the ability to run it and stream it? It’s a total waste of bandwidth in that case.

Yup, this is definitely the future for everyone "living" in the matrix; personally, tho, I don't think the future is going to be terribly long for those who don't understand what it means to be alive -- masters, or slaves. There are forces more powerful than corporations, and ignorance -- like any other detritus -- will be swept aside and reconstituted into something useful.

It is not like that. You only need a fairly low spec machine (4Gb of RAM is a requirement) and decent bandwidth. The game runs entirely on Nvidia's servers in a virtual machine, with your settings, and the game's video output is streamed back to you.
It makes sense even if you have the local processing power because you save on the electricity bill and run a much cooler and silent machine.
I would really love to see GoG Galaxy supporting the GeForce now service. For instance, I'm quite frustrated that I own Witcher 3 on GoG but not on Steam and because of that I can't play it with GeForce Now.
