Pencliff.4853 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 @"Perihen the Thawk.9527" They might mean [this MassivelyOP article](https://massivelyop.com/2020/05/28/geforce-now-lets-game-publishers-opt-in-guild-wars-2-and-albion-online-decide-to-opt-out/), but it only mentions GW2 because it's an MMO news site, there isn't any statement from Anet or NCSOFT there. It just says "Nvidia’s blog explains as a result of publishers “still figuring out their cloud strategies.”" which could mean anything for any of the games being pulled. Plus, the article might not even be accurate in saying they opted out. Tabletop Simulator was one of the games that was announced by Nvidia to be leaving, but the devs were just unaware of the new opt-in system and opted back when they were told about it on reddit, from what I can tell the article's only source for claiming the companies opted out is that list by Nvidia. I haven't seen any articles mentioning a statement from Anet but I'll keep looking. I wouldn't be surprised if it is a miscommunication problem on Nvidia's part. The opt-in system seems to be integrated with Steam having a cloud gaming opt-in setting, and if that is how Nvidia are selling it/asking other companies of course GW2 wouldn't be a part, but League of Legends has been on GFN for a while and will stay on after this change and that game is only available directly through the launcher no other storefront, so it shouldn't be dependant on Steam or anything.

I thought that the forums were for conversation and debate, not one-way only opinions. My point was that to expect a computer game studio to continue to support systems that are more than ten years old is an unrealistic expectation.

I am not talking about the availability of the service. I'm talking about the expectation that GW2 should be able to run on systems that are antiquated. Well, this thread is about the availability of the streaming service. I haven't seen anyone demanding that Anet make the game run on old hardware? I'm not sure whose expectations you're referring to. The service just allows people with "antiquated" hardware to play the game anyway, at no cost to Anet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firedragon.8953 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 +1 I also think GW2 should be available on Geforce Now. I never used this service, actually I didn't even know stuff like this existed before this forum post, but it seems that many people rely on it to play. The more people that play Guild Wars 2 the larger and more diverse the community is, and I support that. So unless a replacement is ready-to-go, I think it makes sense to make the game accessible to as many people as possible, without handicapping performance updates of the engine for modern PC architecture, and especially if ANet/NCSoft doesn't have to pay Nvidia. From my 10 seconds of research it seems like the "cost" is covered by subscription fees of the users and devs pay nothing. I haven't seen a better win-win situation in a long time.

maddoctor.2738 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Although my computer does play Guild Wars 2 very very well, I tried playing it on GeForce Now just to see the performance of "server grade" hardware on Guild Wars 2, and I must report that the performance is similar to my desktop, Guild Wars 2 won't run very well (above 60 in cities for example) regardless of the machine you use. Another thing was the lag, I played a lot of different games on GeForce Now and Guild Wars 2 appeared to be the only game that had input lag issues (not really bad, just there), not sure why that happened. I play from EU btw > @"firedragon.8953" said: > From my 10 seconds of research it seems like the "cost" is covered by subscription fees of the users and devs pay nothing. I haven't seen a better win-win situation in a long time. Exactly. GeForce Now has no cost for the publisher/developer. I can understand some of them opting out, like EA, because they are preparing their own stream versions, but I don't think NCSoft has something like that under development so hopefully they will reconsider. They decided to do this opt-in thing AFTER I bought my new mobile phone. I wanted to try Guild Wars 2 on my phone using GeForce Now to see if it is possible to get at the very least login rewards, without logging in on the desktop.
