I would use geforce now, but for some insane reason, a lot of games got removed from there.

My laptop doesn't handle monster hunter well (my desktop does), i wanted to play with my wife, but the game was pulled out.

This make it challenging: I have a steam library, but I can't trust what I can and cannot play. In the end it's easier to buy another desktop.

Well, unless crypto fucks up the chip world. Sigh.

Publishers removed their games because they want the platform to pay them to have their games on there eg Rockstar, Bethesda, EA, etc. It's disgusting since it's depriving the end-user who has already paid for their games to play on the hardware of their choice, all because they want to double-dip.

Perhaps gamers should stop bending to game developers and platforms until they make the game available on their favorite platform. That’s exactly what I do: I picked a platform, and only play games available on it. Game developers and platforms refusing to publish a game on that platform are loosing my money.

At least I can keep the games. For me it's an alternative for a windows gaming PC.
