Sure, though you don’t need a state of the art PC to play 90% of the games ever made. These days I play a lot of my games on an old 3DS (hacked to the gills)!
I also have a huge steam library of games, many of which I bought for next to nothing in huge bundles during past sales. Many of them I still haven’t played! They would run fine on a 10 year old PC though.
AI nonsense makes owning your own computer too expensive and your solution is to reward the same assholes by paying a subscription to use their hardware with bonus lag? Have you no shame?
Well, you still need something to play it on. And since GPUs and RAM costs about a child and a half these days, I’d say it’s quite expensive.

You do have a point there, yes. My backlog of games I want to play is … Long …
The AAA game industry wants to leverage FOMO to keep you engaged, keep you buying the newest game, forgetting about your backlog.
If they had their way, older games would no longer be playable, just to force people to keep buying new games.
Not if you use geforce now, that’s easy cheaper than buying a new pc
Short term it’s cheaper, but to an enthusiast the lag, and the lack of ownership really rankles.
I’ve never had an issue with the lag.
The games are owned outside of gfn.
I’ve never lost access to any game yet.
That’s cool, where do you buy your games?
Even streaming from my desktop to TV downstairs using ethernet is noticeable to me! It’s alright for some games but not great for fast stuff.
Gross!

It’s better than what I could afford.
It’s pretty astounding actually. I have zero lag and the graphic fidelity is exceptional.
I couldn’t afford a PC system even before the price rises. So this is the bestway to experience high quality gaming for the majority of people.
