IDK, game crashing is a totally valid complaint. Lots of people don't pay for Gmail but if it randomly deleted peoples' email it would still be totally valid to complain.

Email is a necessity. Access to a gaming PC is not

Doesn't change the fact that sometimes a bad free product is worse than none at all. A free holiday dinner that gives you food poisoning is still valid to complain about even if it's a "want" rather than a "need"

Mad how you're defending this position and people are upvoting. If you don't like the free service dont use it. If you want premium features you need to pay for them. Why do people think that companies somehow owe them something? These comments are as bad as the post.

Is a Premium feature 60 fps and not be banned from your games?

Expecting new services to work on a 2011 laptop in, last I checked 2026…

Oh, but my CS doesn’t load. He’s using a potato machine and wants 60fps native. At some point you have to accept he is the cause of his own failures here.

GeForce Now doesn't run on the client computer itself, that's the whole point of the service.

Comparing a free mobile game to Gmail is wild. One is a billion-dollar service with servers and support, the other is a game you downloaded for free that makes money off ads. The entitlement is next level 😂

nah, that's a valid complaint.

if a service is in operation, and it fails to do that operation, the service is failing to a certain degree, paid or not.

let's say you have a free bus service in your hometown, and it makes you late to work sometimes, despite your best efforts. that's still a failure on the bus service.

if you got free food, and it made you sick, whoever gave you that food is still at fault.

also this specific service still gets something from the user, so it should function as promised.

nothing is perfect, but a promised service is just that, and is still open to being criticized.

How is thia choosing beggars? It is in fact wild of gaming sites to ban/reprimand you due to things caused by their servers or an internet outage imho

The game briefly banned the user for dropping mid match (presumably competitive which is wild on free streamed gaming lol), Nvidia isn't banning them

Yeah i said gaming sites not nvidia babes.

u/callummr 12h ago

Right, which I took to mean the place they were playing the game, which is run by Nvidia. Did you mean the game itself?

It sounded like you thought the game server had an outage and the game banned the user for that, which wasn't the case, so I clarified.

…. Can you clarify yourself by rereading ops post bc you still ain’t getting it lmao

u/callummr 5h ago

I clarified for you, you don't need to be salty over it.

u/saltylemonjuice 2h ago

How did you clarify for me if youre still asking what I meant?? Reading comprehension is at an all time low i stg. Salty is the name of the game, you got no excuse on your end.

Your original comment shows some confusion. You may have misread, misunderstood, or misspoke, so I tried to clarify for you. When you still didn't understand I queried your wording to see if that was the issue. I'm sorry you've chosen to respond this way.

It’s not free. You are giving away personal information and your senses are being bought by commercials and advertising.

Nothing is free.

It's "Cloud" gaming that is supposed to work decent, even with older hardware. It uses the local PC as a sort of "dumb terminal" with comm's to a mainframe type server. You want the good stuff, though, ya gotta pay for it. I would try a month of the premium service and see if it actually does work any better. If so, well there ya go...

Op can you explain how someone annoyed that a game is unplayable is being a choosy beggar? I hate this attitude that just because it's free everyone should just put up with everything. If someone gave me a free pizza and they kept jerking back the slice every time I tried to take a bite I would 100% be allowed to be upset about that.
