>pay $19.99 a month to stream games
>reach 100 hours played in a month
>now have to pay $5.99 to play for each additional 15 hours
And people said streaming games was the future...
>>
remember when some guy, i think ceo, of take two said that paying per time played makes more sense? this is the future we are heading towards
>>
>>729360513
nvidia has to make money somehow lmao, gotta pay back all those AI investments
>>
You will be able to play for over 1700 hours for the cost of one high tier graphics card.
>>
>>729360771
Didn't he said it meaning that a game with 200 hours of playtime shouldn't cost the same as a game that's completely finished after playing 6 hours?
In some way it makes sense.
>>
>>729360929
every game with 200+h of playtime is just the first 2 hours repeated 100 times.
>>
>>729360513
This is what's called "rent seeking". Increasing profits without providing more products or services. The line MUST go up, so they have to find more and more scummy ways to squeeze money out of you.

>Try to make people rent everything

So in just over half a month it recoups itself? Cool.

>And people said streaming games was the future...
Said nobody, anyone who said otherwise was selling something.
>>
why the fuck are you still paying for streaming for fuck sake. Reminds me of the tards at work that complains that they don't have money for Christmas gift but are subscribed to every streaming service under our glorious Sun.
>>
>>729360513
if you play over 100 hours each month you obviously care about gaming enough to have a relatively good pc, no?

I don't see this impacting a lot of people
>>
>$19.99/mo for 5080 performance + 16vCPU performance(close to 500W TDP combined)
>electricity for other parts and datacentre cooling
>nearly 700W (0.7kWh) factoring overall efficiencies
>100hrs x 0.7kWh = 70kWh
>USA national average is ~18c/kWh (some states up to 40c/kWh)
>70kWh x $0.18/kWh = $12.6
Nvidia isn't ripping you off THAT hard since you've got to pay the tip for renting
Obviously they get their electricity cheaper because datacentres can negotiate rates but they also have to pay for physical staff and maintenance

You're still better off buying if you can afford the upfront cost (lol lmao RAM prices) but for people who can't afford it or live in VERY high electricity cost areas, GFN isn't the worst
>>
>>729361670
>VERY high electricity cost area
soon, electricity costs will be high everywhere because data centers are outbidding regular consumers
>>
>>729360513
someday I will leave the internet for good if this development keeps going
>>
>>729361606
it starts at 100 hours
then 90
then 80
etc.

the point is to not let the idea get off the ground

I play at least a hundred hours of games every two weeks, and that's when I'm taking it easy. I don't understand who would ever pay for 100 hours of games per month.

Most of the people here don't even play 100 hours per month. If they can get the shitty delay down this is going to work

This is shit is aimed at the normie consumer. Everyone who can pirate is still better off buying a PC

who the fuck plays more than 100 hours each month?
>>
>>729360771
Or, remember when the CEO at EA argued that First-Person Shooters should charge players real money for each bullet they fire in the game? Completely unrestrained rent-seeking is definitely where Wall Street corpoparasites want to take society.

The really fun part is they are gonna use all your inputs and data to train their AI and use it against you. So in the end not only did you pay nvidia to fuck you over but the data you provide is infinitely more valuable to them then your shitty 10$.
The world is fucking crazy man.

>"Gamers" will cough up for this so they're not considered poor by their peers that they'll never meet or truly know, instead of questioning why the fuck things got to this point, and not being complacent
Gaming has been dying for at least 15 years. I can't wait to see it end so I can finally get some closure. It sucks having to figure out who I am and realize not much because gaming has been a core part of my identity since I was about 4 or so, and deciding to leave gaming before I'm totally sucked in and become complacent is leaving me with a hollow feeling

why do retards like op think its people playing 10 hours a day buying this
>>
>stadia 2
No one is going to use this. Normie cattle uses phones and consoles, and gamers wont tolerate the input lag from streaming. It'll be quietly cancelled and njewdia will pretend it never happened in the first place.
OP (faggot is he) knows this, but he keeps reposting this stale bait because amateur trolling on 4chan is the closest he'll ever get to human interaction.

Datacentres don't produce shit tho, at this rate the LLM bubble will burst before any of them centres will even get built.

don't worry NSA'll take everything for cheap after the bubble pops

Do you forget how it works?
Government swoops in and bails them out.
They NEED their social credit system
You think this is some open market?
