Some Indication of Popularity/Repute

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeForce_Now has existed for the past 8 years, out of beta for the last 3. Chocolatey already offers it but I'm not sure about how a manifest for that translates to scoop.

When you unzip the exe the entire CEF directory is present there, though GeforceNOW.nvi has a bunch of paths hardcoded with {{LocalUserAppData}} that need to be changed.

https://github.com/vedantmgoyal2009/vedantmgoyal2009/blob/main/winget-pkgs-automation/packages/n/nvidia.geforcenow.json was used to automate the updates for winget. There was also a work in progress PR of a manifest at https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Extras/pull/5029.

The old manifest does not work as is because of the hardcoding in the nvi file..
