If another game did this and you bought it due to it being available on GeForce Now, how do you think you may feel if it was pulled a short time later and you weren’t eligible for a refund?
My chief concern with “let’s try this now!” is multiplayer. We really don’t want to implement support for a streaming service right before releasing Patch 0.9 as we won’t have the resources to adaquately support both and in such a scenario GFN simply wouldn’t be the priority item. It would also taint reports of latency and various connectivity issues if people - unbeknownst to us - aren’t connecting to our server directly, but rather connecting to a different server in another data center and then going on to ours (with the same issue on the return path).
We’ve never said never and I don’t believe we ever will say that, but I don’t think we’ll take our first stab at multiplayer and a streaming service within the same year. There’s just too many potential fires needing to be put out which will necessitate difficult decisions being made which will inevitably garner resentment when people feel like we’re neglecting them.
