It's curious that Activision Blizzard, Bethesda, and 2K Games have decided to leave the NVIDIA GeForce Now platform. None of the three have explained why they've removed their games from this cloud gaming platform. It's especially odd because it's compatible with a multitude of devices, and we can access our libraries through Steam or the Epic Games Store.
Interestingly, Epic Games, hand in hand with its founder, Tim Sweeny, has supported the platform. Faced with the exit of studies from the platform, without an explicit reason, he has wanted to defend said platform. It has even called it a "developer and publisher friendly" platform, thus putting Bethesda, 2K Games and Activision Blizzard in a worse position.

Epic wholeheartedly supports the NVIDIA GeForce NOW service with Fortnite and any Epic Games Store titles they choose to participate in (including exclusives), and we will improve integration over time.
It is one of the main streaming services that is friendlier to developers and publishers, with zero taxes on gaming income. Gaming companies that want to bring the gaming industry to a healthier state for all should support this type of service!

A key phrase is "zero taxes on gaming income." On this it is read that the income generated by a game in GeForce Now goes directly to the developers. This makes Bethesda, 2K Games, and Activision Blizzard's departure from the platform less understandable.
If these studios go away because you don't have to buy the game back on the platform, they deserve an unprecedented boycott. They could leave for technical reasons or because of agreements with other platforms, more lucrative, something can be understood. Although the fact of not giving explanations, seems to support the first hypothesis.
