I actually don’t think that the game is that good... I probably wouldn’t even play it if it wasn’t my mmo roleplaying platform of choice.

The thing to keep in mind here:

The Geforce Now has been around for more than two years in its current form. All these games were available through this service without any issues and apparently even with the help of those publishers (or at least tolerated by them).

Now that the service is out of beta they suddenly…

Great News. As soon as I find my google glasses I will make a post about this on google plus.

What a strange choice on EAs part to not use the fast, digital nature of the game to be the only thing in christmas 2019 (except for t-shirt sellers on amazon) to deliver on the Baby Yoda hype.

An appropriately altered Boba Fett model with Baby Yoda hovering behind him, along with one or two force based skills would…

This is what the perfect streaming service would look like for me:

- a small sub fee to just play games from your alread existing libraries (like Gforce Now ... until some assholes suddenly pulled their games after them being available there for more than two years) ... something like $5.

- an additional larger sub fee…

Great America, now you’ve infected Japan with your racial identity crap. A slight change in a character’s skin hue, probably due to a creative decision or production circumstances, and people cry about whitewashing.

Time for Starcraft: Reghosted, amirite?

I can agree with you. Spotify has some problems differentiating within subgenres. I get a lot of pop musicals instead of the more classical Sondheim-esuqe ones that I am more into.

But it works really good on overall 80's music, film scores and video game scores. I have a very specific taste in all those but Spotify…

I found Spotify to be REALLY good at predicting what I’d like to listen to next and what new things I might be interested in discovering.

Wow.

...the Nvidia Shield service is basically a virtual pc somewhere running the games you already bought on Steam, Uplay, EGS, Blizzard Launcher etc. by accessing these platforms through your account.

It’s really just expanded access to things you’ve already paid for - on THEIR (Acitblizz’) proprietary library.

Imagin…

“Look ... we have this game where multiple people are able to interact with each other in an open world. How can we expand the game to make it more appealing?”

“STORYLINE!! I mean why would they want to play single player games with a coherent and dense narrative when they can grind in an always online live service…

The first and only game I ever ran multiple times in NewGame+.

I wanted my character to sport a beautiful A-cup in Xenoblade Chronicles X goddammit!!

And it’s actually fun to fly around in ... once in a while ... for a few minutes.

While I didn’t mention this aspect in my post I’d say that - yes ... if the game is somehow playable it holds more value than a digital license.

Once the required patches become unavailable you can still play the game. I’d prefer most games in a broken, unpatched state over not being able to play them at all.

Exactly. I am saving A LOT on physical copies not because I buy them used but because shelf space is our friend. 

I would add on more thing:

You can link your steam/origin/uplay/activision/epic games accounts to Stadia and play the games you own there. (Like you can with Nvidia Shield)

GeForce Now works with your standard gaming libraries too. I can play my steam games wherever I can I find agood enough internet connection for it. Just in case there was a misunderstanding about that.

Nvidia Shield allows you to stream your games to your shield device or tablet using any of the bigger game libraries out there (steam, origin, uplay, blizzard ... maybe even the epic games store) without any additional charge.

I wish this game series would see an optional (!) third person perspective and a solid character creation.
