GeForce Now has me hooked. $10/month not to own a gaming PC any more is pretty good.

I never paid close attention to it, but you can play Steam games? Like, you're renting a gaming PC?

That's... a very enticing option. How's the quality?

I am reminded of the Sega Channel that sold a collection of games via an add on through your cable service.

The difference between movies and games is that popular games become entire entertainment platforms on their own. Fortnites revenue is about 20% of Netflix entire revenue, it would be really hard to convince them to join some subscription service.

And the second point, for games using a subscription service isn't cheaper. Fortnite is free to play, most people doesn't pay much so spending all your time in Fortnite and not using those subscriptions is the cheapest option for entertainment.
