...Isn't this a weird move for a DRM free service to make?

- From what I understand, you'll still be owning your game on GOG the way you currently do, it's mostly a new way to "consume" them. It does not feel like a regression to me, seems mostly to be opening to new possibilities. But this of course assuming that this trend would not lead to GOG discontinuing in any way the current distribution model DRM-free..

  I think you're correct with the first sentence, but on the second, I somewhat disagree. Strictly speaking, it's correct, yet it's not so new insofar as other platforms have done similar sorts of things, and with GOG I'd have hoped they might look into partnering with some software developers working on enabling local/self-hosted game streaming solutions more in the spirit of the DRM free approach.

Meh, I wanted to try it out but it's not available yet and it's impossible to see what Luna actually costs. Is it bundled with Prime? Could be. I don't know.

But all in all this seems to be at least a better approach than Stadia.

- If you have prime, you also have prime-gaming which gives you a few free games every month and also access to a few games via Luna. Ive tried it a few times, never super impressed, but I have gaming machines.

Does gog work with nvidia?

- I've tested Cyberpunk on it, but I'm not sure what other GOG purchases can be streamed. A lot of publishers can't be bothered to support more than just their Steam versions sadly.

- Uhhh, in what regard, can you be more specific then just saying Nvidia ..
  
  Yes because Nvidia makes video cards which are used to process triangles into pictures.

  In the context of this post they probably mean Nvidia's cloud service.
