    This is where I’m confused.

    You have to be both a hardcore gamer AND wealthy enough to buy the brand new AAA game that needs expensive hardware, and yet be poor enough to not be able to afford a gaming rig that can handle it? But also have the funds to pay a service?

    Like, imagine buying a wagyu beef but only owning a microwave? So you rent a kitchen?

      The upside of this is that your games aren’t locked to the streaming platform. When you get yourself a PC you stop paying for Nvidia’s service, log into your Steam account and enjoy your games locally.

      It doesn’t have to be a “brand new AAA game”. It can be a somewhat-recent AAA game on sale. Some of the discounts in the first year are ridiculous.

      And I’ve been surprised at how many games in the past few years were more than my 3070 could handle on high settings, let alone “ultra”.
