NVIDIA GeForce NOW with 100 hour limit - VideoCardz.com
GeForce NOW to get hour limits starting from 2025 Buried in a new announcement is NVIDIA’s policy change on GeForce NOW streaming. This service, available in three tiers, will now be capped in terms of the total hours it can be used. This follows the introduction of advertisements on the...videocardz.com
Nvidia squeezes GeForce Now users for more cash with 100-hour monthly playtime limit — Nvidia will charge $5.99 for 15 extra hours for the Ultimate tier and $2.99 for the Performance tier
Nvidia says only 6% of its player base will be affected by the 100-hour monthly allowance.www.tomshardware.com
Knew this was coming and more to come... Why physical media/hardware must never die as this is how the digital only companies will exploit their customers.
100 hours today will turn to 50 next year and so on. This is the perfect example of why I dislike these services as they exploit their customers while killing off what they could easily access before (physical media and real hardware GPU's).
) that 6% of their userbase can play for 3 hours+ a day for an entire month! Whilst it's a cap that's probably my yearly gaming time I get nowadays

Geforce Now......the more you play the more you pay
The streaming costs are actually insane ($0.5/hr/user, last I saw), so I'm not surprised they keep pulling back the GFN offer. It will get much worse than this. Once again showcasing how the real winners are PC users.

GeForce Now RTX 4080 upgrade at no extra cost. Insane value?
Especially with the current energy prices. How can Nvidia afford to do this? At £15 a month if you game 2.5 hours a day due to energy costs GeForce Now becomes essentially free and anything above that you actually save money while also getting a 4080 rig for free. Are we traditional native...

100hrs limit x 50c per hour means some users will be costing them money. Even 2hrs a day which doesn't seem crazy for people paying for a game streaming service loses money.
If thats a real cost per user per hour I get why theyre limiting it

Big data centers do not pay the same for electricity we do. They often build them near cheap energy sources (e.g. nuclear) and get wholesale prices etc. We can't use any "civilian" numbers to calculate their running cost as otherwise it would all look completely unprofitable for every company - and yet, somehow it's not.

I like it because like they say, it's better than rising the price for everybody just to accommodate 6% of their users.
If you fall in that 6% you can buy more time, or maybe consider owning your own rig.
I only see the benefit of G-Force Now as a stop gap between systems or to use when you're away from home.
