GeForce Now

[hedg_ss]

Sega doesn't allow to play their games on the Nvidia GeForce Now platform for games that have bought the game.

Many people don't have a game PC but can use the GeForce Now service and buy the Sega games.
In any case, the GeForce Now users must buy a game to play it and Sega will get the money for their games.
If Sega doesn't support GFN, it makes no sense to buy a game.
No GFN support, no money.
It is easy.

How are you typing this if you dont have a PC? All you do is spam steam forums with "geforce now or no buy" - Do you really think the publisher cares about geforce now? Its terrible and probably less than 1% of players use it, probably even less than 0,5%.

You did buy the other prequels on steam and you refuse to buy this one? Alright.

Well, you're missing out then. Your loss and not mine. Also if you care that much send them an email, because they dont check steam forums.

Where did I write that I don't have a PC/Laptop?
Can you quote my words without taking them out of context?

I am expressing my point of view and I have every right to do so.
If you don't like something, you can ignore this thread and my posts.\
And please do NOT use "Argumentum ad Hominem".

If they don't care, if they choose NOT to allow users to play games they have purchased virtually just on a remote computer, that's their right.

It's my right NOT to buy games from such publishers.
What do you have to do with this?

What does that have to do with you?
My comment was not directed at you.
The fact that you chose to respond to it is your choice.

And you're wrong.
Games are made to make money.
If they don't consider a certain audience of players, they won't make money from them.
It's as simple as that.

it's up to the customer to know if they can play what they buy

There is no obligation for any publisher to support [insert platform name here]. Your post is obtuse so expect troll-like responses. For those that don't have gaming PC's, there is always console.
I echo the previous comment that paying time and money to support an edge-case platform makes no sense to a game studio and/or publisher.
The fact it is you (only one person) making this demand does not give your argument any weight despite the language you used.

What does that have to do with what I wrote?
What exactly do you disagree with?

1. I know that my laptop will not be able to run this game. I have a GFN account.
If this game was on GFN, I would buy it.
As I posted earlier. There is no GFN support, my money will stay with me.

2. Regarding what you wrote. Publishers can both add games to GFN and withdraw support for games already added. I.e. GFN support at the time of purchase, does not guarantee that the game will be available there in the future.

Sure. More to the point, and I never claimed otherwise.

This statement is false.

I don't like console.

It's not a matter of supporting an individual platform.
GFN is actually just a remote PC on which the user can play the games they have ALREADY PURCHASED.
The publisher just has to give their permission to do so.

You're trying to make it seem like I'm the only person who needs this.
That's not true.
There have been heated discussions about GFN and publishers before.
There have been lawsuits.
There are plenty of these topics on reddit.
This topic comes up regularly for different games, often multiple times.
You can subscribe to a separate “Geforce Now Friendly” group here on Steam. In this case, when you open the game page, you will see if the game is supported in GFN.

I do not understand one thing.
You don't use or don't like GFN - ok.
But why do you have to go to the thread to ♥♥♥♥ or troll?

"I specifically REQUIRE you to make your game compatible with a useless, terrible platform of which I am the ONLY user!"

That just isn't true, GeForce Now isn't some miracle tech that just works perfectly with no work from the developers, that is why Nvidia created their SDK and encourages developers that want their games on GeForce Now to use it: https://developer.nvidia.com/industries/game-development/geforce-now

SEGA obviously sees more value in Game Pass and XCloud than they do in GeForce Now

[hedg_ss]

My statement IS true.
Yes, Nvidia provides SDK, but it DOES NOT mean that developers are obligated to use it and integrate it manually with their games.
They CAN integrate the GFN SDK to get more options, control etc if they want.

"Do I need to do anything special to my game to make it compatible with Steam Cloud Play services?

Fortunately there is very little work to get your game working on a Steam Cloud Play Service. You need to sign the addendum, opt each game into the program and ensure your game has either Steam Cloud enabled or its own online save system. Most of the time these are the only requirements. When testing your game, if another issue comes up we will reach out to you to help fix any specific issues."

It is 2 requirements:
1. Allow to use your game in the GFN.
2. The Game must store saves in a cloud (own or Steam). Usually, it is already done.

Moreover, Nvidia has been sued before for providing its services without the consent of game publishers.
I.e. there was NO ADAPTATION for GFN.

And now it is required to provide consent for every game.

Sega, 2k, EA and other publishers DO NOT want to provide consent.
This is the root cause.

Didn't put any words in your mouth, what I typed is exactly what your post is about.

You tried to put your words in my mouth in a very primitive way.
What you have written completely differs from what I have written.

You wrote: "I specifically REQUIRE you to make your game compatible with a useless, terrible platform of which I am the ONLY user!"

Originally posted by devilmaycrunk:

I can't require it.
I expressed my opinion that there is no point for a GFN users to buy a game if they can't play it on GFN.
That's just a statement of fact.

Sega doesn't need to make it compatible if the game can already be played on Steam and supports Cloud Saves.
You can read more about it.

I didn't write anything like that. You tried to put your words into my mouth in a very primitive way.
If you disagree, quote my words where I would have written that.

Ang again, I didn't write anything like that.
If you disagree, then quote my words where I would have written that.

What's more, it's a lie.

GeForce Now had more then 20 Million Users in 2022.

And in conclusion.
Keep your banal manipulations to yourself.
And also learn to conduct a dialogue in a correct form.
