Gamers using GeForce NOW to play Call of Duty are reportedly being banned
Call of Duty gamers may be banned for using GeForce NOW First ROG Ally users, now GeForce NOW. NVIDIA GeForce NOW is said to be impacting Call of Duty players. Reports suggest that users might encounter bans while utilizing this game-streaming service. According to the information, a glitch is leadi...
Doesn't the publisher of the game have to approve for a game to be put on GeForce Now?
I mean, don't get me wrong - I know anti cheat detection has never been perfect, but you'd think this would be something they heavily try to make sure they get right.
Banning people for playing a game that they are not cheating in does not constitute getting anticheat right. It is not enough to catch cheaters but you have to do that without catching players that are not cheating. Playing the game on a different platform should not in of itself constitute cheating.

eh, I don't think they've tried very hard at anything at all these last few cycles, except to make money
Activision was required to put Call of Duty on GeForce Now for the EU to approve the acquisition by Microsoft. Just pure incompetence

Nope! It's probably the only cloud service that lets you use Steam/Epic/whatever.
Once I woke up a bit more I had another look at the article, and this phrasing certainly makes it sound like it needs approval at some point:
Due to a licensing dispute between NVIDIA and Activision in 2020, GeForce NOW lost access to all Activision-Blizzard games.
Perhaps though it's a case of "Better to ask for forgiveness than permission" and they just add games until someone tells them to pull it off, I'm not sure. It's been 4+ years since I looked into GFN, I tried it out during the beta period but I don't believe I've used it since then.
Two different managers that didn't bother talking to each other.
Who still plays this shit? Who is buying a new Call of Duty every 12 months?
A very large number of people unfortunately
For a while I just saw it as a COD subscription, a yearly $60 fee to play the same game year after year. It was a fun mindless game, but “SBMM” and their pantented system of manipulating gun accuracy and hit registration to level the playing field became too much for me. I’m not playing slots, I’m playing an FPS. I want my shots to be skill based, not engagement and retention based. Once I learned about that, the game was utterly unplayable for me.
At least 9 goobers that downvoted you.
You’d think after what, 15 years now, of COD being the best selling game on every platform every year that comments like these would have stopped, utter here we are.
