Can we get H&H on GeForceNOW?
They add new games to their platform (indie included) every Thursday.

Re: Can we get H&H on GeForceNOW?
This could be a great idea, but it also might not be worth the effort.
Lot of people seem to have trouble running Haven so if they could even try it without that barrier of entry, it could help bring lot of people.
But I have no idea how many people use GeForceNOW.

Re: Can we get H&H on GeForceNOW?
Chalk this up there with a Steam release.
One thing I'll say is that you could throw together a computer from used parts for only a bit more than a six month sub to GFN. And the requirements to run GFN are only slightly lower than what's needed to run Haven.
Other thing I'll say is their billing is questionable. They refuse to take a Visa card I use for online subscription services.
Coverage is spotty, and the areas that have coverage probably don't need to use a streaming service to run Haven. Additionally, you better have beefy network services, as you're streaming video at 720p or 1080.
Shadow, if they ever fully roll out, will be a better option, but the problem with them will be the same as new desktop players--some issues getting the game running, and trying to troubleshoot a remote system may end up being even harder.

Opinions expressed in this statement are the authors alone and in no way reflect on the game development values of the actual developers.

I haven't tried it or even looked at it, but I was under the impression that GeforceNow was supposed to let you basically play any game you'd be able to download.

Re: Can we get H&H on GeForceNOW?
Putting the game on one of these platforms using the default client would likely be a mistake IMO, specially when the server can't handle much more than 1500 people at any given time
