So much of the internet is enshittifying abuse of this moronic term enshittify.

It's fucking free. Youtube had ads before FREE videos forever ago. This isn't new. This isn't enshittifying. What an idiotic post.

Isn't GeForce Now only available if you buy an Nvidia graphics card? In that case I would consider it part of the product that was sold, not a free software

Ignore my comment, GeForce experience is what I was thinking of.

I'm honestly surprised to learn they still offer a free tier, I'm not sure why? What advantage is letting users play for free?

Same reason drug dealers give out samples

[–] Willy@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago

why drug dealers? not really known for their samples except in DARE films. I think Costco would be a better example. are they doing that again btw?

Ahh yes. Another reason to switch sides later this year.

What’s the other side for free cloud gaming?

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

matter of time before they put ads in the paid tier too.

subscriptions suck.

[–] Syndic@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

We're talking about a gaming streaming platform. How do you think that concept could ever work without a subscription?

And frankly, adds for the free users really isn't that outrageous or surprising either. I'm mostly surprised that this wasn't the case from the start.
