Many times we can find that subscription services are the salvation for those people who do not want to spend too much money on, for example, buying a next-generation gaming PC, and in this aspect the NVIDIA service was one of the best we could find. Now, the company seems to want to change things, and that is GeForce now will implement a new measure that has disappointed many of the users who use the application, there will be a limit of hours monthly that we can use, and once we finish them, we will have to buy additional hours.
In recent years, streaming services have become very popular, something that has allowed companies that have a monopoly to have practices that go against consumers, such as limiting the people who can use an account or raising the prices of the service every year. after year even having great profits. Now, what was the salvation for many people who could not or did not want to buy a gaming computer due to the prices it has, will begin to limit how much time its users will be able to play on a monthly basis, regardless of the subscription we have or what we are paying.
Regardless of the plan we have, GeForce Now will limit the monthly gaming hours
The arrival of GeForce now to the market revolutionized the way that many people view subscription services, and it was one of the first steps that we could see to allow any user to play the newest games with really great performance. Over the years the subscription has gained followers, but it seems that this is not enough for the company that, after launching a 24-hour subscription that costs more than a normal one, will now limit the playing time of all games to 100 hours per month. subscriptions.
This measure will begin at the beginning of next year, causing users who spend this time limit to have to buy additional hours, with quite abusive prices if we compare it with the fact of being able to use the subscription without a time limit. Those who have the Performance plan, which costs €11 per month, must pay €3 for every additional 15 hours they want to use once they have spent the monthly hours, while members of the Ultimate plan, €22 per month, will pay practically double for the same hours, that is, €6 for 15 more hours, something that in general seems quite abusive (considering that a fairly high subscription is already paid for it).
To try to attract new customers (and to ensure that old ones do not cancel their subscription), the brand has announced that it will offer a whole year of unlimited hours for those who renew or subscribe to this service for the first time before December 31 of this year. anus. According to what they indicate, users will be able to avoid this new monthly hour limit measure until the beginning of 2026, that is, they will continue to have the same limited hours for a year, but those who subscribe from January 2025 will begin to have the limitation. that the company has imposed 100 hours per month.
The most interesting thing about the limitation is that the only users who will not have it will be those who use the free version, since NVIDIA surely recognizes that the queues, together with the fact of having to renew the server every hour, is enough punishment for users. users.
