Comment on NVIDIA Puts 100-Hour Monthly Limit on All GeForce NOW Subscriptions
northernlights@lemmy.today 3 weeks agoBasically you rent NVIDIA’s GPUs, they render the games, stream to you. This way you “save” money by not having to, heyoooo what a surprise, buy cards that have been getting more and more expensive over the years.

You need at least better than average internet and even then it’s not the best experience.

Ignoring the GPU pricing issue, It was a really good option for Mac users to play games that don’t run on MacOS. One of my friends uses it to play with our friend group.
Imo, if you ignore the surrounding context, it’s a great option if you don’t want to pay exorbitant prices for GPUs just to play a modern game.
The real issue is that this problem was artificially manufactured by the companies offering the solution and is guaranteed to enshittify in the name of greed, as seen here.
As per usual, we can’t have nice things because of capitalism.
