Im seriously intersted on how is Cloud Gaming (in the way Geforce does it) part of the “you will own nothing and be happy” issue, im not saying the trope isnt real, im saying that I cant think how does it fit into this concept. On my view this is akin as going into a Cyber Cafe you could walk down the street anyday, you dont own anything either but your money’s worth isnt sailing without you receiving what you paid for

because you have to extrapolate.

publishers don’t want you to own games just lease them so they can deprecate games and make you upgrade when they want to.

also no more mods or cheatengine to enhance the game or bypass microtransactions

GeForce Now doesn’t lease games. Just let’s you run games you already own on other stores using cloud hardware.

not every game you own can be used this way.

Well, that makes sense for the most part, but there’s the important detail that there are streaming services that grant you a fully uncontrolled rig, I just cant think of any that are free. In fact, Geforce Now used to do this, until legal issues arised from a clause being extremely specific making users unable to legally play on a device they werent physically in contact with, real shitty but allegedly not Nvidia’s fault or the cloud streaming service as a whole.
