Um yay, I guess. I’m always for more options. And maybe there is a market out there for the “game from the cloud” idea. Personally though, I’d rather just play a game on the Steam Deck directly. Or, if that’s somehow not an option, stream the game from my own PC to my TV via SteamLink. In no world do I want to pay for a subscription to play games on a device where I can just play that game locally.

Stuff like this is great for when you don’t have the hardware required to play the game at that quality (or at all), or you want to try a game before installing it.

If you have the ability to play every game you’d want, then yeah you likely have no need for this. But I’ve used GeForce Now to either play games on low-spec PCs or for a period of time when I only had access to a MacBook. Also, not every game will run on Linux (or if it does it may not perform quite as well), so that’s another potential use case.
