Unfortunately all your games on Steam are a license to run the game not ownership of the game. This was true on CD and dvd too but unenforceable. Now it's enforceable and publishers can dictate how you play their games.
I guess publishers could say you're not allowed to use Steam Proton with their games too. But presumably Valve could say you're not welcome on their platform unless you support all their tools.
Now if Valve set up a cloud streaming service... That would be an interesting thing. I wonder where the publishers would stand?
I'm thinking of this for so long now, all building blocks are in place: Game streaming, cloud saves, Linux compatibility (for the servers).
I wonder why they didn't do it already. Would save me from upgrading my pc...
Having a quick glance at the license agreements there doesn't appear to be anything in there about having to run the licensed games on my own hardware though.
I'm more than aware you don't own anything on Steam, I've been saying that since before Valve were forced to. I'm just curious which part of the rental agreement Geforce Now violated.
