@atom, because Nvidia has added the games without getting full permission from the publishers. Nvidia now have a paid-for version of their service, charging people to play a publishers games on their service without the rights.
Ever buy a physical dvd or bluray and see the big “not for rental” sticker on there? That’s because those who with to rent or use the products in a service have to get permission (usually bought) first. Imagine if Nextflix bought a load of dvds and t...
The issue is licencing. When the service was in beta, every package for the service was free. Now it's launched, there's a paid-for service meaning that Geforce is making money off other people's games without giving the publisher any money for using their games as, effectively, rental copies. That's why a bunch of them are being pulled as it wasn't in the agreement that Nvidia would ever charge for them.
They'll return if/when they discuss the amoun...
There's no issue with streaming games from your own system - Steam Streaming is now available on mobile devices so you can stream your pc anywhere, like the PS4. The issue is, Geforce has a paid membership model where they are keeping all the proceeds for themselves and not paying the publishers - in Beta it was all free.
So, unless they start paying to allow games in the service, publishers won't simply allow them to support their games. Similar issue with GamePas...
"because it will basically duplicate Xbox once it launches" - Ever wondered why there are only around 50 games in the service during the beta? Simple, MS will have to pay a licensing fee for each and every game which appears in their rental service. If you're expecting every single game on Xbox to be in the officially launched service, you may be disappointed.
However, if you use the Xbox version of PlayStation's Remote Play - allowing you to stream your o...
Ohh, look at all of these lawers. Literally everyone in this thread thinks they know the law - honestly, if you're not already employed as lawyers, you should certainly apply to be one...
Or... maybe you don't actually understand the law and what Activision can and can't do. Sure, it may not be 'right' them doing this but it doesn't mean they aren't covered by the terms people agreed to upon buying/installing a game.
I agree. Im hoping that next gen all games have the mode or maybe even the process is at a system level. On PC you go an use the GeForce tools and pretty much naked photo mode in any game unofficially
A barebones update - what were they expecting? It's a remaster, technically a port of the PC versions - which we knew before they launched. I guess the reviewer was expecting more content to be added?
As we don't know how much Epic paid for the game to go on EGS, we can't actually presume number 2 is valid. for all we know, they could have paid more than enough to cover potential Steam Sales, just like they did with Metro.
Also, in terms of the third option - also out of their control because sony helped fund the game - so it's most likely got a 12-month term with the PS4 first. Plus, the difference between the Switch and PS4 is less than a million units.

Problem is, the majority of the purchases will have been via Kickstarter. I got a PS4 copy for around $23, rather than 60, simply by backing it before launch. The numbers should 'hopefully' go up once it hits Steam and 'possibly' Xbox.
Do you understand what localisation is? It's not simply translating the game word-for-word, it's about adapting the context for the region the game is being sold in. What may be appropriate over in Japan may not suite the culture over here - hence the subtle changes and adjustments.
The title of the article should clearly state what the content is about - and the extract shouldn’t be misleading or purposefully missing key details. Sure, the guy who posted it on here is just putting the first paragraph, but that doesn’t justify the site itself is clearly posting vague information for the initial click.
Also, yeah, the NPD is only in NA, well done, I mentioned NA because there’s people out there who think it covers all regions...
Poi...
@Fritz - take off your tin foil hat. The PS4 version had no censorship in it, at all. You lot always come out of the woodworks and presume everything on the PS4 has been changed...
Erm, there’s a drought of games? The OP sounds like an ‘editor’ I once knew. There is no shortage of games, just a shortage of games you’re willing to try out.
Had it been exclusive then fair enough. However, it’s been on PS4 since last September - so why is it now a reason to buy a Switch?
It would be nice if we could flag article submissions for clickbait on here. The title and blurb above doesn’t mention any of the points or even that it’s the NA NPD only. Instead, it’s worded to get clicks and offer misinformation to those who don’t want to click.
It also means then when searching in google, the small snippets also give out twisted information rather than factual truth. It’s all about those clicks.
Seen a few fanboys on Twitter spin this into something it's not.
- First, this is only in relation to US sales - not WW (even though they, and this article blurb above, fails to mention that).
- Second, it's based on dollars, so one controller is the same as about 3 or 4 regular controllers - so it's not the 'fastest' controller sold, it's the most revenue from a controller (well, it's in fifth place based on the actual data).

I wouldn't go that far - I have adblocker on (so can't really complain), but the site seems fine. At least this is factual news which some people, like myself, found interesting and informative.
I wouldn't put them in the same sentence as other sites which breaks up an article into numerous ones and then twists what the interviewee had said in order to fit their own console-war and clickbait agenda.
Only getting money if you click the link to read their article. Otherwise, if you only comment on the article on this site, N4G are the ones getting paid via the ads that pop up.
no. Otherwise, everyone will start posting their own opinions and 'takes' on things as rumours, clogging up the feed with speculation and 'wants'.
If it's something like a rumour of a game being released, and there's actually a listing for the game on the rating board site then fine - that's no longer a rumour, it's pretty much factual information that hasn't yet been announced - but all these rumours based on text files, a friends uncle,...
