GOG should start considering adding its games to Geforce Now, Boosteroid, and other major cloud gaming services. Steam is already everywhere. This is a reason I'm considering switching to Steam.

I had to switch to MAC for work purposes and now almost my entire GOG Library is useless, while the same games I have here are available on GeForce Now, but from Steam. I know, it's more of a personal choice to switch to MAC.

But having access to your library via a cloud gaming platform is not only for MAC users. Think about the titles GOG would sell, titles that would require a major hardware upgrade. This way, people who don't change their PC every year, will buy more games because they will not be limited by their hardware. I do believe that a collaboration between GOG and cloud gaming platforms should be a strategic one from the business point of view.

Because nothing says "DRM-Free" like cloud gaming.

Why... what? Why I had to switch to MAC? Because I need it for work. As I said. Why my entire library is useless now? No MAC games in my library.

Rather than insist a DRM-Free store change to online-only cloud gaming, the sane solution for your problem is to keep your personal PC for gaming and if your workplace are demanding you use a Mac for work then they'll have to provide one. As with smartphones, it's 100% insane to use your personal devices for work when some businesses insist on installing certain common "Remote Worker" employee tracking software (TeraMind, Controlio, etc) for "security" that then starts mass harvesting personal files, emails, websites visited, GPS coordinates, logs keystrokes, does randomised screen-caps, adds a Remote Desktop backdoor, etc, that remains active even outside of work hours...

Just tell them you have no PC / "it broke" and ask them to provide a MacBook then keep work and personal stuff separate. In no way, shape or form should you lose your PC game collection just because "they use Apple at work".

You need a Mac for work so you threw out your PC at home........ right that makes sense.

Why do you propose that GOG should provide this service? Why do you not instead propose that you yourself should pay for this service? GOG, one of whose defining principles is allowing older (and therefore, having less demanding requirements on hardware, on average) games to function on newer hardware, why should they be concerned with the customers potential hardware limitations? Also, if it is such a deciding factor for you, why were you originally a GOG customer? These are just some of the things I would be interested in knowing. Thanks.

Sigh. It's the same pattern every time. Someone sees an online-only feature that Steam / XBox / Playstation / Ubisoft / EA does, demands GOG copy it on the basis of "It'll bring loads of people to the store", GOG spends money they don't have chasing that new fad, the promised army of newcomers supposedly "falling over themselves to get that feature" never seem to materialise here, then people seek out yet another online-only feature, then another, then another... to demand a DRM-Free store implement, only to end up going back to Steam anyway...

It's like watching someone enter a vegetarian shop, demand they sell burgers "to improve choice because this place doesn't even sell hot dogs", then after the store does attempt to provide that, just p*sses off to McDonalds anyway after figuring out they were never really interested in what was unique about each store, they just want every food store to become a McDonald's clone regardless of context...

What has your work PC (Mac) to do with your Home PC (Win, I assume)?
Sorry you have the computing equivalent of the Alnwick Poison Garden; AKA: A Mac.

Bad enough being trapped in a walled garden (It's pretty and can't meet your needs), but worse that one of the biggest proponents of Wrong-To-Repair and Planned Obsolescence, too?
Get CrossOver from Code Weavers. A lot of GOG games run just fine on Mac with that.
