Comments here are fun, seem a 3 way split between people thinking it’s GeForce Experience, game stream, and finally the actual cloud streaming service running your own Steam games.
Yeah it's crazy. I don't see what's negative in having a GeForce Now app on Steam Deck, it's always better to have choices.

Ah yeah, I also thought it was talking about that awful fucking thing I used to opt not to install alongside my geforce drivers.
Back when I had a 1060 3gb it was awesome! Always giving me nearly flawless settings for games, now with a 3060… we have very strong disagreements about the ideal settings.
That said yeah, a random software to install, that requires a new account and all for the privilege of installing the drivers? Hard sell.
Nvidia: Creates a whole new app for driver updates and ShadowPlay.
Also Nvidia: Creates the most half-assed GPU tuner in the app.
Seriously I can't even undervolt without a third party app. Once PyTorch + ROCm comes to Windows I'm switching back to AMD.
