Huh, didn't expect geforce now to have a free tier.
- It’s always had a free tier. The free tier existed before the paid tier did.
  
  And tbh it's always been pretty decent. You can access (almost) your entire Steam library.
I mean, it is a free product. This doesn't bother me too much. Eventually they have to make money to stay in business as much as I despise Nvidia.

It would be a completely different story if I was paying for it.
- I agree that as a free product, the ads are less loathsome. But from a company that just posted a 265% increase in revenue, it’s not like they’re worried about keeping the lights on https://www.cnbc.com/2024/02/21/nvidia-nvda-earnings-report-q4-2024.html
- Nvidia is making plenty of money. This is about having power of their user's computing.
- A free product you pay for when you buy your graphics card?
  
  Edit: oooh, I completely mistook the products. nvm
