That would be best but even just allowing us to install games via steam or epic games instead

The ability is already there as it allows you to sign in for certain games via the windows app like epic games but as soon as you try and install say gta v it stops you and exits the session

Our own Windows VMs would be the best but at the minimum just allow access to the various store apps such as the epic games launcher or steam

Its about the common data store as well not just the vm. Hence why only select games with zero install time.

They had a dedicated "steam session" in the early days of GFN and that allowed you to install and play any game on steam.
It was removed a little bit before they fully transitioned into their current opt-in model.

Unlikely that it will change back to the original GFN model.

You need a degree in finance to understand the billing... Got billed R346.65 today.

Not really. The invoice was only generated month end so it lists both your pro rate ( which you already paid ) and the next month's fee. It's billed in advance.

The credit card strike would only be for the new month. The pro rata probably sat as a credit in the account for the month.

Yeah. I got myself an RTX 2080 for a decent price on carb but when I play games on it and see 216W TDP I'm thinking this pc is now eating electricity where with GFN it's hardly using anything and my android tv box even less but just as good with an xbox controller.

So further on this.

Looking at benchmarks and a lot of Youtube Videos the RTX 3080 on the Ultra Tier uses about 5 to 6 Units kWh per 8 hour session. Let's say you only game 2 hours a day that means 60 hours game time and that will be roughly 45-50 units for the month just on the gaming pc with an RTX 3080. Might be more might be less.

That is quite a heavy power draw especially for the RTX 3080 and if you play on max graphics settings like I do because well it's hosted remotely :p
 
All subscriptions are still sold out (on the website) and beta accounts seem to just have infinite priority.
Interesting stuff from Rain :)
 
Doesn't look like people that signed up are cancelling because spots are not opening?

Haven't really hag queues besides the launch.

Same. I don't get any queues on Ultra at all. Their facebook ad has been watched over 350k times but I don't think it matters much if it's sold out.
 
Getting a "The game is no longer available" when trying to play the Epic version of Ghostwire. Same error code as AC:Origins (Which still doesn't work on the local GFN server lol)

Error code 0x00000132

@rain_mobile can you give us an explanation please? Is it a licensing issue? The games work just fine in other regions.
