    While this may look like a good reason not to use the service, I learned of an even better reason just now from this article:

    At the start of next year, GeForce Now will roll out a 100-hour monthly playtime allowance to continue providing exceptional quality and speed – as well as shorter queue times – for Performance and Ultimate members

    Apparently you have to wait in line?!

        This is the craziest part. They really make you feel uncomfortable and not really part of the system. You are just a subscription and nothing more, you get nothing, you own nothing, and you might as well give up and keep paying for a service you might be able to use

          I was on the founder plan for a while because 50/year to keep an eye on the state of the tech wasn’t a huge deal, and there was plenty of stuff my MacBook wasn’t really powerful enough for but could tolerate the lag.

          But the whole log-in process was way too much of a barrier for me to actually use it routinely.

      Honestly, can’t remember the last time I queued. That said, maybe it’s a regional problem.
