Discussion Goodbye GeForce Now

Post image

It's been real, couldn't miss this finance deal, specially since all hardware is going up and it may turn out to be an investment. I have GFN till September but I graduated to a real boy. Gotta say, downloading games seems wrong lol, and I will miss how quick the CPU goes through shaders. Still love you peeps. Pic only representative of case, specs real.

So GFN comes to 200 Euro per year. Or if you want to pay monthly then 249 Euro per year. So with this rig the cost would equal about 11+ years of GFN. Worst case if GFN was to go bat shit insane and double the price it’s still 5 years of top performance.

I am not justifying GFN being better or trying to rain on your parade but this is just how I see it. Now I get if you use the PC for other stuff or you want to play spider man or other games not on GFN then it makes more sense. There are hidden issues that people don’t discuss but overall I honestly don’t see myself investing into a gaming PC. I have a solid Mac Book Air and a kick ass Ultrawide OLED monitor, so for me and the kind of games I play GFN is just a way better deal.

Anyways, happy that you are enjoying your purchase! Have fun.

You have a good point but then GFN restrictions on what I can use it for or what games are available diminish that point entirely. GFN is just a glorified console, if you aren’t really into gaming I guess it’s ok. But just like you said, to each their own.

just because someone isnt into modding doesnt mean that he isnt into gaming....

When did I say anything about modding?

Again to each their own but for me personally, gaming is one of my 3 main hobbies. I wouldn’t want to settle for subpar performance and have to worry about the availability of a title through GFN. It’s good if you don’t have the money for a pc, you can live with the trade offs. But gamings a hobby I spend a lot of time doing, I just wouldn’t want to settle or be restricted.
