#93Did my freebie. The update behavior is interesting. The tool is picky (in that "Flashback to ActiveX bullshit" kind of way) about the platform that does the update.

Can't be a Linux box with Chromium or Chrome (always fails with "Close other tabs using the controller Could…

They did, they always said that they would refund the games if the service shut down, but i guess they didn't make it clear enough, marketing was horrible and onboarding / interface was awful. It's crazy how amazing the service was, but how terrible they handled everything else.

No it's not, Geforce now is rubbish and more expensive.
I tried it yesterday and it crashed within 30 seconds after multiple issues and the image quality is far worse than Stadia, it also doesn't have all the nice features Stadia has.

Geforce now sucks compared to Stadia.

It's amazing to see that, for how good Google is at software engineering, it's horrible at products & follow-through. Like, look at the ongoing train-wreck that is the messaging (Gtalk/Hangouts/Chat/RCS/...) strategy.
They cleaned up the chat mess, at least. Only Chat and RCS ("Messages") now.
