GeForce Now lost all Activision Blizzard games due to Nvidia bug

Activision Blizzard's library of games disappeared from GeForce Now shortly after the game streaming service's official launch, but it sounds like it might be Nvidia's fault after all, in terms of the misunderstanding over terms of the deal between the two companies. At the time, Nvidia hadn't really explained why all Activision Blizzard titles had been pulled from the service, but in a statement, it noted that this was "at their request" and that it was "unfortunate." However, Nvidia told Bloomberg that the reason for this decision was a misunderstanding because it believed that the agreement with Activision Blizzard regarding its participation in the GeForce Now beta also applied to the initial service trial period after launch. (in other words, the first three months of the online launch). That obviously wasn't the case, and Activision Blizzard wanted some sort of commercial deal (which sounds pretty reasonable, let's face it) before proceeding with the full release of GeForce Now, and that didn't happen. It is not produced, which is why the publisher requested its library of games to shoot. It seems like a pretty big oversight, one way or another, but it may give some hope to GeForce Now subscribers, those who signed up to play. games like Call of Duty, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Overwatch, World of Warcraft, and many more, some are hoping the issue will be resolved. When Nvidia first announced that the games had been discontinued, the company said it hoped to "work with Activision Blizzard to revive these games and more in the future." Nvidia echoed this sentiment in another statement released by Bloomberg: "Recognizing the misunderstanding, we have removed the (Activision Blizzard) games from our service, in the hope that we can work with them to reactivate them, and more, in the future."

Return to the fold

So maybe, theoretically at least, there's no reason why these games shouldn't come back, given that Activision Blizzard was certainly happy enough to be a part of the beta test. But, of course, an agreement will have to be reached and who knows how many obstacles there could be on this front. The use of a word like "hope" in Nvidia's statement doesn't inspire complete confidence either. If the situation were corrected, this would go a long way toward restoring the faith of those who specifically subscribed to GeForce Now and bought games like the latest episode of Call of Duty (Modern Warfare) to play through the service (those with their own services). computers are not responsible for managing these titles). Remember that the key to GeForce Now is that you really pay to rent a powerful gaming PC that you can connect to remotely: you always have to buy all the games you want to play yourself (and they have to be supported by GeForce Now, of course). The incident highlighted one of the major potential weaknesses of Nvidia's service, in that if publishers turn around and decide they no longer want to be involved with GeForce Now, those who purchased specific games to play only on the streaming service they are obviously out of luck.
