I am not looking for a "netflix for games" where you pay a fee and get access to games like Xbox Pass. I think that the people complaining about GFN feel that their fee should bring them free games. Thats not what its for. Its for underspec'd computers to be able to play games that they want to purchase but may not have the hardware for.
Got a tip for us?

couple of months.
yeah the reason I gave examples of the games I play is because I am a casual gamer and not a FPS fan. I checked the list of games and the 3 I needed for my laptop were there. It sucks that developers are not supporting it and especially is ******** if they pull their games after committing.
not sure if you are reading what I am writing. the reason for GeForce is to play pc games on my macbook pro in macOS. that means having the game WHEREVER I am when I am not sitting in front of my PC.
once again, not sure if you are reading what I am writing. the reason for GeForce is to play pc games on my macbook pro in macOS. that means having the game WHEREVER I am when I am not sitting in front of my PC. (and before you bring up the ridiculousness of bootcamping, No)
....and it is a viable option for people who DO NOT OWN a gaming pc.
so to summarize:
1. xbox pass does not work on macOS
2. not everyone owns a gaming pc
3. GeForce is a mobile option.
Steam and Steam Link for iOS work already.
But, I am a FPS fan, and performance-wise, it’s still good enough for me. My only beef with the service is that developer support is hit or miss, and my 2012 iMac is too old for even Bootcamp to be a real solution for me, anymore.
it makes sense that you are still in the honeymoon phase with GFN, because you’re still in love with the service.
One final question: how sure are you about being able to play all day? Because some other paid members have mentioned that 4 or 5 hour cut-off point.
mobile = laptop for me. I don't play games on a phone unless its a retro emulator.
I believe I said "play as long as I want". Ive been playing computer games since 1982 and the only game that has ever made me sit for 3 hours or more is Ultima Online. So I cannot say whether or not they cut us off.
I have to say that since my iMac arrived I have not used it much as I don't spend a lot of time outside of the house. But when I am out and about with my macbook pro I like having the option of gaming without running my fans up to 100%

Care to test it out, just to see if it lets you?
The next time you play, of course.
I tried the Geforce and was let down by the limited number of ports that were available. I now have Stadia, and I'm also let down by the limited number of games available.
What I have been impressed with is that I'm playing new games on my 2015 MBP without fan noise deafening me or it crashing every second and it's convinced me that this is the future of gaming; server-sent games to your screen. I'm psyched!

I'm thinking about getting the MB Air M1 but wanted to know if Geforce Now works on the M1? I can wait until the M2 or M3 version comes out if it takes a while for the app to get updated. Also, does Steam Link work with the M1?

Thanks! So it sort of works depending on how you want to play. Keyboard only. So forget about driving or fighting games.
I think I'm going to get the MB Air M1. I justed tested out Geforce Now on my Spectre x360 13t and found that Cyberpunk ran better than on my gaming laptop. I'm thinkinh the Air without a fan and 15 hours of battery life is going to be insane as a great all around laptop. I may even sell my gaming laptop and use Geforce Now and Steam Link. I also have a gaming pc with a 2080 Super in it.
Hang on: are you the same gman with the YouTube channel that posts a lot about Half-life??
