Comment on The Steam Deck, nay Linux, is crying out for an official GeForce Now app

  As someone with “founder” status in both services, Stadia’s user experience was far better. It also had the best latency with its direct connect controllers.

  While GeForce Now made some steps towards mitigation and cooperation, with 2FA it’s often still a mess of tediously logging into PC launchers before finally being able to play. And because the hardware changes every time, this repeats before every session.

  GFN’s library of compatible games is still stupidly limited, yet has all remaining competitors beat by a wide margin. And it has by far the most powerful hardware.

  Both of those things probably make it the best streaming service right now, and outweigh the shortcomings. But “good” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.

    Thanks for your perspective. I just know it through a friend who uses GeForce now frequently on his MacBook. He is happy with the service that’s why I wrote this.

    I think it was stupid you had to buy games twice for stadia. The caveat of GFN with 2FA being annoying is an acceptable compromise imo. I also looked at the compatibility list and didn’t find it to be lacking many games tbh. But mb I have different needs and expectations here or mb they don’t work as advertised?
