yeah I’m literally unemployed and gaming is my primary hobby. I have NEVER hit 100hrs on GFN and I’ve been using it for years. I may not have a job, but I do have a life outside of games. I can’t imagine someone who has both that has more than 100 hours of free time to game.

Wasn’t it 50 h before? So now 2x as much? No need to be anti someone based on prejudice alone.

Yeah I do this because I don’t want to spend $$$ upgrading my rig and I don’t have as much free time to justify hardware costs.

The paid plans start at $10/month. So $10/month to have hardware capabilities to play new games isnt bad. And if you want to divide it by hours additionally its $0.10/hour…

Yeah I mean it makes a whole lot of sense if you have the connection to support it, in my opinion.

Dude I’m lucky if I get 3 free hours a week! And I’m not even a Dad! What’re you guys doing with your lives!?

Between work, marriage, yard work, working out, and taking care of dogs, I’m lucky to get 10 hours a week and I make time for it as it’s my primary hobby. How do other adults get 50+ hours online?!

By neglecting (or not having) all these things due to their addiction to video games.

Don’t have a yard, don’t get a dog, don’t work out, don’t be married etc

That makes me both jealous and sad for them at the same time.
