AstroNvidia GeForce Now is putting video ads before play sessions on their free tier
So much of the internet is enshittifying abuse of this moronic term enshittify.
It’s fucking free. Youtube had ads before FREE videos forever ago. This isn’t new. This isn’t enshittifying. What an idiotic post.
Isn’t GeForce Now only available if you buy an Nvidia graphics card? In that case I would consider it part of the product that was sold, not a free software
BlackmistThey did remove GameStream though, which was GFNow but for using from your PC. Or rather GFNow was GameStream but from their PC.
And they took that out, so you couldn’t stream locally any more. And not enough people called them out for that.
You can replace it with Sunshine and Moonlight if you ever find yourself wondering why an nVidia Shield won’t connect to your PC.
I mean sunshine is the same thing as game stream, but better. It uses the same protocol and is much more stable for me.
Yes, but it still sucks that they took out their own implementation, especially when the main selling point of the Shield was streaming games from your PC is decent quality.
It did have a major flaw though, in that it always picked the leftmost monitor, and that’s not what I game on.
Steam Link is clearly a whole lot more joined up in terms of being able to browse and start games, but I’ve never got that to work acceptably either. Runs at about half the framerate of Sunshine, for no reason I can see. No amount of messing with the settings appears to fix it.
