How is a terrible deal? I would literally need to spend at least a 1000 dollars for a gaming pc, and that is 4 years of GeForce now, without considering maintenance, the space, etc.

I’m playing cyberpunk 2077 max settings on a 2cm thick MacBook Pro, I don’t have a bulky pc to move every time I move, and most importantly, if I ever get bored I’ll simply stop paying instead of having a pc collecting dust

There's no doubt that cloud gaming services are convenient, but you give up a lot for that. If you don't really care about having access pulled out from under you, or your games being censored/changed, or your personal data being collected and used against you than it's probably worth it, but for gamers and gaming as a whole it's a problem.

You don't even need a bulky PC. You can get a gaming laptop if your worried about space/mobility. No doubt the video cards are expensive though.

The problem is that you have minimal control of your game. If Google bans your YouTube account b/c your video of you walking your dog recorded a restaurant playing a copyrighted song, then you could also lose your entire collection of games.

GeForce Now lets you use your existing games, there is no way for them to make you lose your games.

By comparison, the Stadia model was broken from the start.

How is that any different than Steam? You’re arguing against DRM, not against cloud gaming
