The Long Dark is the latest game to leave Nvidia's cloud gaming service GeForce Now and according to the developers, they had to ask for removal since Nvidia added the game to the GeForce Now library without their permission.
As consoles go, the SNES has quite the family friendly image. But, just like a Pizza Hut when you look at its hygiene rating or taste its pizza or breathe inside a restaurant, it’s not always good for everyone.
Even as the company sets out to overhaul the very definition of Xbox, cuts at its studios risk creating a negative image reminiscent of EA's worst era
I appreciate the article but this guy must be living in a delayed universe, The reputation was ruined 10+ years ago and hasn't recovered since. As such people have voted with their wallets and stopped buying Xbox products in large amounts.
Their reputation was lost way before that. From the moment Microsoft said they entering the console business, we all knew it would be a downgrade.

Rumors of Turn 10 being either shut down or hit with massive lay offs is on the horizon.
The issue is MS will do something right only to do something very, very wrong. And they do this what seems calculative at this point. Doesn't matter what they do the Investors and leadership want more and more money an endless bottomless pit of purr insatiable greed. A company that acts like it's broke or hurting is what really, really infuriates me. They've surpassed apple again well over 3 trillion who acts like they're a million dollar company is fk stupid. Pivots and changes for no reason and can't do things for more than a year with out a pivot or changing their metrics.
That would be really bad since Phil just hyped up next year as a big Forza year at Summer Game Fest.

“ Nintendo Switch 2 still dominating in Japan”
Such a strange headline. I mean it’s a brand new console released on June 5th. It would be weird if it wasn’t still dominating in sales.
I figure its dominating everywhere. I stopped with consoles this gen sticking with PC and the switch will get 99% of the games this way.
Going strong sales! The Switch 2 was launched here in Southeast Asia on June 26. I was among those who pre-ordered. I got my unit the same day with Cyberpunk 2077, and there was a long line of people getting their pre-orders, not as long as the line when a NBA 2K series launched, but it was different because it will be released on all platforms.
I want to see how well the June and July world wide sales.
I'm happy to see the dev getting criticised for this on Twitter. It's like he doesn't understand how Geforce Now works or what it is. He seems to think we are playing games chosen by Nvidia themselves rather than our own games that we purchased from places like Steam. All people are doing is renting a machine to play their games on.
I don't even understand why Nvidia is asking permission :/ The cloud gaming principle is well explained and players know they can have a good or a bad experience depending of external factors. Its basically paying for a remote desktop service, this has nothing to do with the owned library.
In fact, its even better for the devs/editors to be visible on GeForce Now, because players will buy games without worrying about the performance (or their weak PC). The games will always run just fine.
it is an internet cafe why the hell would permission be needed.
I just don't understand. Surely GFN helps developers? So far my experience with GFN has been great. I have been playing through Dark Souls 3 using solely GFN (free service) and a notebook that is not designed to play any sort of game. Yet I have been playing Dark Souls 3 most nights for a hour or so with no input lag at 60FPS and a resolution what looks like 900p.
I have a best of a gaming PC. But if all I had was this crappy notebook. Then I would 100% use GFN and gladly give developers money on Steam for there games.
I guess I need to ask the Long Dark developers for permission to play their game on a new pc. Seems like its the same logic
