      The big win for GeForce NOW was you could fire up games from your steam library—you didn’t need to directly invest in a service which might die for your ownership of a game

        more or less yes, that was its main advantage, but most of the cloud doesnt really compete there.

        Shadow cloud gaming is an example that competes with nvidia on that front if game ownership is part of your concern, but its not the main concern for all cloud services.
