Hinterland Studio, the developer of the plot-based survival game The Long Dark, recently announced its intention to withdraw its game from Nvidia GeForce Now, after he explained that the streaming service had never sought their permission to host it.
Game director Raphael van Lierop went to Twitter to break the news.
Sorry for those disappointed, you can't play anymore #thelongdark On GeForce Now. Nvidia did not ask us to allow the game to be placed on the platform, so we asked them to delete it. Please handle your complaint, not us. Developers should control the location of their games.

"Sorry to those who are disappointed, you can't play anymore Long darkness On GeForce Now, "the post wrote." Nvidia did not ask our permission to put the game on the platform, so we asked them to remove it. Please handle your complaint, not us. Developers should control where the game exists. "
van Lierop added: "They offered us a graphics card for free as an apology." "So maybe they will give you the same thing."
Hinterland Studio is not the first team to remove a game from Nvidia GeForce Now. A few weeks ago, Activision Blizzard also withdrew all the works from the service, witnessing the departure of giants such as Call of Duty and Overwatch.
"According to their request, it is recommended that Activision Blizzard games be removed from the service," the Nvidia official forum post wrote. "Although unfortunate, we hope to re-enable these games with Activision Blizzard in the future, and more."
Bethesda also removed all of its games from the service, except Wolfenstein Youngblood. Nevertheless, Nvidia is confident that the studio will relaunch their games in the future. Nvidia stated in a statement: "As the transition period ends, the number of game removals should be low and new games added to GeForce Now every week."
Nonetheless, as we recently reported, more than 1 million people have registered for GeForce Now. The service is expected to attract more than 1,500 games, including Cyberpunk 2077. This is in stark contrast to Stadia's continued trouble, which still has only 28 games because Google doesn't provide enough funding for developers.
And, as Alex pointed out in the impression, GeForce Now is more promising than Stadia.
