NVIDIA Doubles Up GeForce Now Subscription Cost to $10 Per Month
With the graphics card shortages, we can only assume that GeForce NOW is getting more popular. GFN is NVIDIAs cloud game streaming service. Up to now, you could game free for one hour or make use of a subscription of 4.99 USD per month.
It was bound to happen at one point, but NVIDIA has shuffled around things a bit and marketed the subscription service to a 'premium priority' one; however, it doubled up the price towards 9.99 USD per month. Annual plans cost $100/year. The Priority membership offers faster access to cloud gaming servers, longer gaming sessions, and ray-tracing, and DLSS support. Existing subscribers have been moved to a Founders plan, which has the same features as Priority. As long as their account stays in good standing and they don’t pause their plan, they can keep paying $5/month for life.
Aside from the tense change in price, Nvidia also published some improvements to the GeForce Now service, coming with an update to version 2.0.28, which is rolling out now. One of those is a new V-sync technology that synchronizes frame rates on the server at 60 or 59.94 frames per second to match your display, thus reducing stutter and latency in games that support this. Additionally, there's a new de-jitter technology aimed at improving performance on less reliable networks.

Not a service that i would ever use and if a game streaming becomes the norm then i would simply give up gaming, as someone that's been gaming for 46 years i can see that gaming and how we play is changing but this isn't something i'm prepared to accept, thank god for my old systems though.

Still reasonable. Computers aren't exactly cheap. Nice to have someone else deal with keeping things up-to-date, problem free etc, you just get the experience. It's more of a theater ticket - you won't own the chair, unless you want to buy the building. There're always users, laptop users.

So $10 a month for 1080p gaming which has image quality affected by video compression?
I think that $120 a year is enough to sustain PC capable to do 720p rendering and DLSS it to 1080p as it would certainly win over video stream compression artifacts.
I say that price tag should be appropriate for streaming resolution in a way that their server solution should come cheaper than local ownership solution.
Because day, someone stops paying for their service, all they are left with are memories. Day someone stops playing on their low budget gaming PC, they can still use it for something or sell it.
Edit: It is like value proposition of YT Premium vs Netflix. One is more worth than other.
