    The anti corpo part of me: That’s utter bullshit!

    The middle aged part of me: That’s… 3 hours a day… That much gaming can’t be healthy.

      You are at work for usually 8-9 hours a day. Some games require so little attention you can play while at work. Like EVE Online mining could be optimised to only giving a control input a few times an hour. Isk/h would be shit, but it’s not zero.

        On Geforce Now as well? Does it not just kick you off if you’ve been inactive for a while? That would at least make sense.

      Almost 4 hours if you only count weekdays. In other words, more than poeople should, debatably, have to work to survive.

      I lean towards anti-work for the masses, but anyways, if that amount of time should be enough to survive-on; Does anything else, besides, unavoidably, sleep, ANY one thing, deserve that much of your time?

      Honestly, I would bet they are having issues meeting demand, or AI demand is high-enough and pays enough to cause a supply issue, what with RAM prices and non-sensical gibberish I won’t bother finding to have a second bit for that “and”, right now. I was surprised to learn the GeForceNOW rates are still the-same-as-or-better than when I last looked-into it, a few years-ago.

      EDIT: Math, verbiage to adjust to corrected figures, and another paragraph or two, Sorry.

      Some people have jobs that involve gaming for more than 3 hours. This is going to actively affect how some people work.

      Fuck Nvidia and fuck Ai

            Sub is tied to an account that needs to own the games. There might be a way around to trick it, but I’d be surprised if you didn’t need to buy the games twice with that method. You can extend the amount by 15 hours for $3 or $6 based on performance requirements.
