If I remember correctly there was a way to play gog (any drm free) games through steam on geforce now. It was possible by "add local game" steam option which allowed to browse HDD of geforce now machine. I don't know if they "fixed" it because it was not intended.

I know that gog is destroying the rest of the community through the decisions and actions of a few front line people but it shouldn't change how we behave here.

OP is looking for solution because for him it is a problem. If he has no other way to play his games it is his choice.

Geforce now is different than other streaming services because you play your own games. Using it neither change ownership nor any kind of your rights to games. You are not forced, but you decide to use it. Few days later you can choose to not using it and it doesn't change or limit your rights to and how you can use your game in the future.

vlc33: I do nor have 4K to buy a Gaming PC but I play AA games with my android TV or even my Intel Atom mini PC with this product, that has changed my gaming life. I it would be better if I could play my GOG library in this platform imho.

Yes, but in this platform you play your own games (Steam, Origin, Epic) but not yet GOG that is why I posted this request.

Ennson: What part of "DRM free" you do not understand?
lol, such an ironic post.

All GFN is is a means to play the game you already have, not one that sells and controls your game for you. You buy the game on GOG, you can still install/play it anywhere, you just happen to use GFN to play it.

The level of 'DRM' is on par with you not being able to play because your computer broke down and then screaming DRM.

Don't worry, there will be a dozen services that offer this eventually. It's an inescapable future for the mainstream audience. I don't think GOG will be a part of it though, it's pretty antithetical to their mission statement. If you embrace streaming and therefore don't care about DRM, you can use Steam and other stores or even switch to Xbox Gamepass.
DRM, digital rights management, strictly means any form of copy protection, this includes offline copy protections present in many gog games. Obviously, I don't care if I need to end a code that's validated offline to install my game. The reason why I buy my games on gog is because in 20 years, if a random server is taken offline, I will still own all my games and will be able to play them. People who bought them on steam or epic may not. I think GeForce now is a great idea, instead of spending heaps of money, you rent hardware. If NVIDIA goes out of business, you can still play your gog titles in a physical PC. I don't think GeForce now is incompatible with gog in any way. If anything it'll encourage people to buy games that need a state of the art PC making them more accessible.
I wish it was available in my country.
@everolth - I'm not sure why you felt the need to reply to a thread where the last reply was back in April last year, but anyway.

I decided to investigate GeForce Now, and I am not that impressed, and like many think the OP's post did not make a lot of sense in the context of GOG and DRM-Free or PC power required.

In simple terms I guess, those who use one of the options, are playing a game on a remote server, and just getting visual feedback and sending controller and keyboard and mouse clicks. Depending on the user's connection there could be quite some lag. A good option if you cannot afford the hardware and have a fair internet connection.

To do all of that of course, GOG would need to provide games owned by the user to GeForce Now, and some kind of check of that ownership, similar I guess to what you would do with some multiplayer element of a game at GOG.

It isn't really streaming, though that is another of the options. Clearly if like the OP, you are just playing via your TV, it is just a video stream of a game being played on a server somewhere, and no game data is being sent back and forth. This means of course, that if you have no PC or a low powered one, it doesn't matter, as what matters is what the remote server can support (PC power, videocard, etc).

Anyway, I guess it would be no worse than the many games at GOG that have the multiplayer portion DRM, so we need to be clear about that. For GOG to support GeForce Now, it would be supporting yet another case of DRM.
I play most of my games on GFN these days. I am now buying games on steam that run on GFN.
Such a shame, I much prefer GOG.
The price of a rig to play modern games, never mind the electric cost, it is far cheaper to game on GFN, and I can play with no loud fans, and mobile.
GOG needs to go there.
Some people don't seem to understand that 'GeForce Now" is rent-a-pc, you rent hardware to play games you bought elsewhere but not all games are on the GeForce Now platform for some very very very very weird reason.

I know ActiBlizz didn't want to have their games on GeForce Now because they wanted money from Nvidia for it, Nvidia said no, we wont make that deal because it is not how we operate basically & it is illogical.
