Wow some people actually bought GTA5 and only were able to play it via the nvidia shield / pc streaming on GeForce Now, and now its gone unless they put together a pc rig that can play it, that really sucks for them.
This future is gonna be ridiculous. I bet each major publisher will eventually have their own streaming platform / ecosystem. People thinking that oh its gonna be a couple with a buncha 3rd parties on board? Yeah until those third parties have their own servers, then it'll literally be everyone for themself. You're gonna have logins and friends lists and bullshit for each one of them.

This coupled with streaming music and movies, ugh, people are gonna have at least 20 accounts for all these fucking things. And all of them data mining the fuck out of us...
Were gonna look back at the days of bitching about having a Steam/EGS/GoG/Origin account as the good ol days.
