Yeah I do this because I don’t want to spend $$$ upgrading my rig and I don’t have as much free time to justify hardware costs.
The paid plans start at $10/month. So $10/month to have hardware capabilities to play new games isnt bad. And if you want to divide it by hours additionally its $0.10/hour…
Between work, marriage, yard work, working out, and taking care of dogs, I’m lucky to get 10 hours a week and I make time for it as it’s my primary hobby. How do other adults get 50+ hours online?!
yeah I’m literally unemployed and gaming is my primary hobby. I have NEVER hit 100hrs on GFN and I’ve been using it for years. I may not have a job, but I do have a life outside of games. I can’t imagine someone who has both that has more than 100 hours of free time to game.
I don’t listen to influencers who make their entire damn money out of yelling at people “QUIT HAVING FUN!!!” or “YOUR GAME IS SLOP!!!” (while they literally play a slop of a different flavor) or got burned out by CoD for playing for so long that they hate it now and spend 90% of their time trashing it, sorry. I play the game myself and decide if I want to buy it or not.
Note that when Battlefield 6 launched I also put 100+ hours into it in like 2 weeks.
But yes, I should definitely be given a time limit sometimes LOL
From what I understand about this subscription (I never looked into it before) it’s basically like a reverse Game Pass? So you pay the monthly subscription, and you can play the games that are on the service, on different devices aside from just a PC?
While that does sound pretty cool and impressive, I can’t imagine most people, or most anyone that calls themselves a gamer would touch this service with a 20’ pole. Like at that point, just own the game and system you want. You can play whenever and for however long you want.
Also, this may sound weird, but after reading the article I have a strong urge to start a game and just let it run idle, racking up playtime. Out of spite for Nvidia I guess.
That too. Even though my Game Pass has been cancelled and I haven’t had Xbox Live in a couple years, I can also still go into the Xbox PC app, install any game that I’ve bought that’s also PC compatible or stream whatever I own that isn’t (but still has cloud workability).
It’s how I’ve been playing Halo Wars 2 lately. And I’ve seen the Fable games are cloud compatible, but I haven’t tried those on PC yet.
You’re really just renting hardware. You own all your games and they aren’t tied to that service. The appeal is to play PC games without being on the perpetual hardware upgrade hamster wheel.
IIRC it used to be 50 hours. Most people don’t hit that.
As a Mac user in an area with good ping, I like GeForce Now. I’m not currently subscribed, though I have been in the past. Recently I’ve been leaning more into my Xbox for gaming.
I wonder if there’s some metric they’re going off of where the majority of the subscriber base only plays less than 100hrs and the “abusers” or whales play over the 100hr mark.
100hr / 30 days is 3.3 hours a day. Which as a father of two… I’d be lucky to get that much in a day.
100hr / 20 days(5 days a week) is 5 hours a day.
100hr / 8 days (weekends only gaming) is 12.5 hours a day.
None of these are outrageous and probably are the “average” user of the service.
Now if you’re doing 8 or 12 hours a day for 30 days, that’s 240-360 hours a month. Which is pretty much gaming full time.
I think 100 hours is a weird number to land on. I think 120 hours makes more sense (4 hours a day over 30 days).
I do expect Nvidia to lower the hours over time. Expect to see 80 hours or 50 hours soon IMO.
