I believe back when it was in beta a good few years ago, it was a remote PC, but now it’s only whatever games are on the service, with more added about every week via licensing them. You do, however, bring your own games, that part is right, just you can only play the ones you own that are licensed to be run on it.
its been like that for a good while now, I remember when I first tried geforce now playing cod 2019, then at work I wanted to setup my classes during lunch and it was gone, turned out blizzard/activision got mad that nvidia was letting people play their game even though you had to own the game so they pulled it off the service
It’s renting a computer but it doesn’t actually work like that since shitty publishers can get force them to not allow you to download your bought games on rented computers.
I don’t use the service, but I believe you bring and install your own games. They’re just offering a remote computer.
At least, last I checked.

That would have changed within the last 6 months then, we had it then and as far as I know it was just a remote pc

Back when it was free for shield users, it was game streaming
Now I just get ads on my shield for a bunch of new releases I can buy for streaming on it
Gamestream (remote pc) was something else but I guess it’s incorporated into it now
Ah I didn’t understand that. That’s almost worse though, that’s buying the game and then paying to play it.
