Neo basically got it, but to add onto it a bit more: It has a lot better servers than Stadia and is basically just like playing any game you own on steam/gog/ubisoft/epic but with a monster rig. Their rigs are so good that playing Cyberpunk 2077 was actually an enjoyable experience. The only monetary incentive they have is that they offer a subscription service that gives you a faster queue into the game (since there are limited amount of virtual machines available) and extends you play sessions to 6 hours (the default is 1hr). Once a play session ends you can just go straight back into the game, granted, I have rarely played long enough to experience it, but it has never been an issue, since relaunching a game through their app is pretty quick. The only issue with GFN, is, like Neo said, they rely on licensing, and some game devs do not want to support them, since they can make more money through Stadia or any of the other competitors (like Amazon's), since those require consumers to repurchase games they already own... That being said, Larian has always had their games on GFN, so I'm expecting Baldur's Gate 3 to be on there too, but the early access currently isn't, hence why I'm here ^-^' The basic service of GFN is free, so I recommend you try it out. You have instant access to any free game, like Apex Legends, Neverwinter, etc., as long as you have an account on the requisite platform.
