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.
Geforce now is for a limited demographic already.
The only people this would affect is those that have the time to hit the 100 cap, and the money to pay for the sub, but either can’t pay for the rig or are using it for remote play. In either case 100 hours a month is plenty, you can buy more and honestly the rate they’re offering is fine considering the maintenance costs likely involved.
I know this is going to be unpopular, but I know people that use it and I genuinely don’t know of anyone actually negatively affected by this. Neither of them have ever managed to hit the 100 hour threshold with gaming as a primary hobby.
Just to point out, LLMs are genAI. Lots of code editors provide code suggestions similar to autocorrect/text suggestions using AI. Strictly I doubt any game is made without AI. Not to say it can’t be deliberately avoided, but given the lack of opposition to GPT and LLMs I don’t see it being considered for avoidance in the same way as art.
So Awards with constraints on “any AI usage in development” probably disqualifies most modern games.
By going the route exclusives they deliberately avoided being competition and cemented themselves as the early access platform with no features.
Hades was as good as it was because it had a year to be mediocre on EGS first
