what?
this doesn't use your local steam library, any games you install are installed to the gfn cloud.
You are right, the screen saying "installing on C:\...." was just disturbing me. Of course everything runs on their servers.

I grabbed the premium option it has 90 days of "trial" after that time they gonna charge you.
So far connection quality is average at best on 100/100 fiber line, with PC in high priority in QoS, unlocked ports and 15-20ms ping, 0.0 lost frames, maybe too much people are hammering the servers or not, first impressions are bad

Tested on "Balanced settings" and on manual 25-30Mb/s
I have opposite experience, im from Israel, we dont have this service, yet i signed up for premium , used EU server, set the settings to max, forced 50Mbps, disabled "Adjust for poor network condition" option that increases compression and/or lowers the resolution, resolution is FHD/60
Their test gave me 57ms ping.
I played Destiny 2 for first time, played 2-3 hours, zero issues, felt like native, sometimes i had that Icon on screen that showed lag but it was imidietly gone.
Destiny can increase rendering, i set to 200%, it wasn't 4K but it was better then just FHD, played with xbox gamepad like I always do since i use OLED TV for monitor its 55inch so playing with keyboard is uncomfortable.
and im on 1G/100MB fiber + "Gamer package"

This is ideal for best possible smooth results https://i.imgur.com/J1qyrzt.png At least it was for me, i tested all possible combinations with a lot of games since 14 months. Just change Max Bitrate for your connection. specs.
