AstroNvidia GeForce Now is putting video ads before play sessions on their free tier
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?
ISOmorphStandard tactic since the early 2000s. Provide a service for next to nothing by dumping insane amounts of cash into it. Competition either can’t hold up or is straight up bought up. Fast forward 5 years and you’re the only real player left (that’s called a gate keeper). Then you’re a monopoly and can set the prices as you see fit. Best example of this is uber.
There’s really not any competition in the exact same line of business as them anymore. Amazon’s Luna kinda? But not really, you have to buy new copies of games there. Other services like moonlight you have to host yourself.
