Quoting: Xaero_VincentI like to think of GeForce NOW as a tool to play games that currently don't run in Proton / Wine, especially due to Anti-Cheat. Otherwise, use native ports and Wine/Proton whenever you can.

Well, if you think one step further, why they work through it, it's because they run on Windows.

Quoting: elmapulthey ARE payig microsoft for each user, either an rent of an windows licence or an entire licence, but they are.

Exactly the point. MS is getting paid, it's not even a question. Also, I'd expect it's not a regular Windows license fee, but some server type one which would be higher.

Quoting: slaapliedjeAt the moment, I chose Iorveth. I'm also playing it on Easy so I can kind of breeze through it.

I usually play it on hard, it gets too easy towards the end otherwise. But just for the story sake, easy works OK.

Quoting: Alm888If you are inclined on just being rude and accuse others of "demagoguery" instead of presenting arguments

Your claim it has nothing to do with dualbooting is pure demagoguery. It's not rude to point that out, especially since demagoguery is waste of time for everyone. Drop it.

Quoting: Alm888Dualbooting has nothing to do with this case.

I already explained what it has to do with it. Really not interested in spending time arguing with demagoguery. See above.

Quoting: Alm888Does it matter?

Depends for what or may be for whom. I'd say those who don't want to give any edge to Linux gaming hostile MS, don't dual boot, so they don't use Geforce Now either. Those who don't care would say it doesn't matter.

Comparison with Wine is invalid in this context. We are talking about actual Windows.

Quoting: slaapliedjeWish I had more time to beat TW2 so I could move onto TW3!

It's not a very long game, at least if you don't plan to play both Iorweth and Roche's paths for completeness. A lot shorter than TW3 overall. But each path provides quite different substory, so at some point you'd probably want to try both.

Quoting: 3zekielI hope they could add a Linux VM option. Potentially with a small reduction since there is no need to pay for a licence on their side. Even without a reduction, that would be quite nice, could still use the windows VM for rare games that can't run even on proton, and use the Linux VM most of the time for my laptop.

If they do, it won't be as nasty. In the current form, it's just MS feeding service.

Obviously, at this point NVIDIA are not supporting the Linux desktop with GeForce NOW in any way and it could break any time - so keep that in mind.

Keep in mind also that Geforce Now is using Windows on the server. So it's not any better than dual booting or running Windows in VM locally. You just get a longer cable for it. It's essentially a glorified remote Windows VM.

Quoting: sourpuzFinally tackled the Heart of Stone and Blood & Wine AddOns to Witcher 3. I love this game, the whole series. I've rarely played anything this atmospheric.

Did you finish both expansions? Feel free to discuss the game in the dedicated thread.
