Nvidia's game streaming service was only out of beta last week, and has already lost some major games. This week, Blizzard activation pulled its entire catalog, inclchewing Call of Duty: Modern Wars and The escape, from the monthly subscription service.
"At their request, please be warned that Blizzard activation games will be removed from those services," wrote a Nvidia lawyer company forums on Tuesday. "Although unfortunately, we hope to partner with Activation Blizzard to do more and more of these games in the future."
GeForce Now & # 39; s beta was launched back in 2013 as a way for people to stream PC games to the Nvidia Shield TV top-box. In 2017, Nvidia announced that it would expand the service to allow people streaming games on their PCs, similar to Google Stadia and Microsoft & # 39; s Project xCloud. While the app is very expensive at launch, it's only $ 5 now. Unlike Stadia, it allows players to spread the remaining games they have instead of buying them again. Of course, that feature is only as good as the supporting publishers.
"As we take GeForce NOW to the next phase of its creation, we've worked with publishers to get a powerful catalog for your PC games," wrote a Nvidia lawyer in the post. "This means the constant addition of new games, in some cases, to games-like other digital service providers." It sounds like a comparison to PlayStation Now, a game library that is also constantly changing. It's still tricky, though, as GeForce Now doesn't let you stream any games that you don't already own.
Stadia also had trouble getting acquisitions from other big game companies. Its small catalog is not growing as fast as some users hoped. Blizzard activation games are not available for purchase through the Google service, either. Activation Blizzard said at the time its latest benefits also cost investors that it "will continue to watch (Stadia) eagerly," but nothing new can announce by bringing its games to the platform.
Nvidia and activation Blizzard did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
