The launch of the new game streaming service GeForce Now was very promising and was generally considered to be more promising than that of Google Stadia. However, there is still trouble with the games on offer.

Previously, with GeForce Now, there was a stir that both Activision Blizzard and Bethesda were pulling their games off the platform. Above all, Activision has already accused NVIDIA of providing its games without obtaining permission from GeForce Now, which is why they were actively removed from the range.
The latest criticism now goes in the same direction, in this case from the smaller developer Hinterland Studio. He has made a name for himself above all through the survival game The Long Dark in episode format. This same title was also playable via GeForce Now, but apparently NVIDIA continues to publish games there without first obtaining permission from the respective company.
Game Director Raphael van Lierop is therefore very clear in a statement on Twitter: "Sorry to everyone who is disappointed that they can no longer play The Long Dark on GeForce Now. However, NVIDIA has never obtained our permission to play the game on the platform so we’ve asked them to remove it now. Please address your complaints to them, not to us. Developers should be in control of where their games are offered. "
Sorry to those who are disappointed you can no longer play #thelongdark on GeForce Now. Nvidia didn't ask for our permission to put the game on the platform so we asked them to remove it. Please take your complaints to them, not us. Devs should control where their games exist.

NVIDIA has already apologized to the developer, which is why van Lierop generally does not want to make a big wave about it. However, Hinterland Studio declined a request to officially offer the game on GeForce Now. The offense at NVIDIA does not seem to be really serious, although it has already been repeated. "You offered us a free graphics card as an excuse," added van Lierop.
A lot is currently happening in the game stream area. Now the final version of GeForce NOW has been released. We tested the streaming service in practice.
