I didn't use it, but I'm still salty that publishers had a fit about that. It's honestly none of their fucking business where you run your games.

I'm not investing in a cloud only platform like Google's abandoned attempt, so the only hope is a hybrid like Geforce Now.

It's an okay-ish solution for people who don't wanna invest in a pricey pc or that just wanna game from their potato thinclient. No mods kills it for me personally.

A guy at work used to use a cloud service called Shadow PC.

They'd basically rent a gaming PC out and he'd just torrent them right on to the cloud machine. Pretty sure mods would have worked there.

It felt a touch laggy with a mouse, but a controller would probably have been just fine. It's a shame there's a disconnect between what gamers want (a gaming PC that's just somewhere else) and what providers want (a walled garden).

True. Those cloud-services allow for mods. But still too laggy, too expensive, too much hassle. And in the end you own nothing again. Like car leasing 😑

But gf now is much cheaper, but therefore has those downsides. But yes. Just a pc somewhere else
