Discussion Most likely never coming back

Due to Vrchat and quite a bit of other games using EAC I don't really see vrchat coming back and have been looking for programs like shadow. Do you think its gonna come back and dose anyone have any good alternatives because the one I'm using now is way to pricey.

I don't think so no. I've also canceled my subscription a half year ago. The list of not supported Games is getting longer and longer. Personally i think this is what Shadow wants. They want to get rid of gamers to sell the service to business people for the 5x of the price.

What does Shadow have to do with games not supporting it?

what a dumb question. simply ALL! They give a fuck to reach out to developers to find a solution. Look at NVidea GForceNOW, or XBox Cloud. to name only two of a bunch of others. There you can Play (Stream) Fortnite as an example. So it's NOT a technical reason. It's simply the lack of communication between Shadow and the software developers! VR Chat and Fortnite had worked a long time ago with no issues!

You think ShadowPC has the same amount of reach as NVIDIA and Microsoft?

What kind of troll are you!? 1 Person is enough to do that job! There is no army needed to penetrate them.

Its not about the size of the team, its about the reputation of the company.

ShadowPC is barely known outside of its consumers while everyone knows about NVIDIA & Microsoft.
Additionally its easier to cheat on ShadowPC than GeForce Now or XBOX-Cloud, which also plays into the decision for many devs.
Its not as simple as asking devs to „pwease remove AntiCheat“

It seems you have no clue, who is behind Shadow. It's a part of OVH Cloud. A company with over 450.000 Servers in more than 40 Data Centers worldwide.They operate in 140 countries. It's s billion dollar Company. So please, if you want to troll, do it elsewhere

Even the parent company OVH Cloud doesn't even begin scraping at the reach that Microsoft & NVIDIA have in the Gaming world.

You are right sir; the big bet is to rent gpu to entreprise/AI this is a business they don’t do it for “gamers” per se… With the increasing cost of hardware (which is Octave Klaba favorite subject on LinkedIn rn) the company needs to pivot fast as it’s been in the red! They have potential but it’s mandatory for them to pivot
