I still support buying a decent graphics card and a game rather than paying a subscription while also buying the game. Their basic plans costs 10 euro per month which is 240 euro for 2 years which is average cost for a decent gaming card. And best part is you own it. You can get NVIDIA 3060 for that amount. Which is amazing card.

89kr/month for Denmark. That's 2136DKK for 2 years of continuous service. The cheapest RTX 3060 right now is 2199DKK. But guess what? I don't have a tower pc. So I would need a CPU, memory, storage, case, PSU. I won't bother putting together a system but if I search the web budget builds are set for around 800USD atm. That'd be around 5600DKK or more than 5 years of GeForce Now. Tbh I think it's not a bad deal.

Besides, as a casual gamer I keep cancelling the service when I don't need it. Right now I'm signed up because I enjoy starfield. I'll probably unsubscribe when I'm done with that. Or at least over Christmas because I know I won't have time to game.

Plus I love the flexibility of streaming to my TV, tablet, phone, laptop.

My biggest problem is that it's neither possible to pirate games nor mod them. Shadow is the solution for that but it's too expensive IMO.
