    I'm tempted to play Cyberpunk on Stadia or Geforce Now as I don't have a console or gaming pc.

    Giving Stadia a go on my mac with their free trial and I like it enough to go buy a controller, happy to find RDR2 there since I have yet to play it, not crazy about their other titles.

    Geforce Now seems more powerful and has more games I'd be into, doesn't have RDR2 though but it feels like a less limiting option on the long run vs buying games on Stadia that I can only use with Stadia.

    So Geforce Now it is ?

    • GeForce Now has had (severe) problems with licensing rights. They work by allowing you to access games you already own on other platforms - Steam, Epic etc.face_melter
    • Publishers went wild and pulled a bunch of titles because they weren't getting any money.face_melter
    • if it's on GFN use that, you get to keep the copy for playing on PC, on stadia it's trapped there foreverernexbcn
    • But if you pay for Steam games then what are the devs complaining about?NBQ00
    • ^ I could see how GFN running a copy locally to stream it back to you (and charge you) could require for a specific license.spl33nidoru
    • Picked up a controller, will go with GFN for nowspl33nidoru
    • the devs aren't complaining, it's the publishers because they are the money-grubbing cunts who put profit above all else.face_melter
    • wait Stadia isn't working like that?
      they just give the infrastructure for your purchased games?

    • With Stadia you buy games via Google. With GeForce it's via Steam or Epic and such.NBQ00
