Asking about gaming services in this thread is not a derail.Sorry to derail, but with Stadia and Nvidia Stream can I use the games bought on steam? I got a little confused how licensing works with each service
With Stadia? No. Ownership of Stadia games is exclusive to the Stadia platform (like owning a game on the Xbox doesn't transfer to Playstation).
With GeForce Now? Yes, but it depends on the game. GeForce Now streams select games from Steam, Epic, Uplay, EA Origin, and even a few other stores sparingly. It just added support for the GoG with Cyberpunk 2077. It depends on the game whether or not it is supported, and just because a game is supported from one store doesn't mean it is supported on all stores where it sells (ex. you can stream Amnesia: The Dark Descent if you own it on Steam, but not if you own it on Epic).
