In an email sent out to GeForce NOW Founders NVIDIA announced that they would be delaying the initial billing date until June. This gesture is likely in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the lackluster reaction for the platform. Companies such as Playstation have been offering free games to customers and publishers such as Xbox Game Studios & WB Games have joined the long list of publishers removing their games from the platform so this is likely an attempt to convince customers to keep their GeForce Now subscriptions.

"As you can imagine, we're experiencing a substantial increase in the number of GeForce NOW players and their amount of playtime. While the service continues to grow, we have decided to take this opportunity to show our early Founders members our appreciation, and will not begin billing until June 2020. Your first charge date has been extended. Please check account.nvidia.com for more information. Stay safe and happy gaming."

Oh geforce now, sell server time and have people run w.e software they own on it. Publishers don't like it because they don't think it lets them make more money, just like they didn't like being able to transfer game keys. I do wonder why nvidia just doesn't try pushing it by just making you download and install the program yourself and just reiterate that you're selling hardware access not software access.

This is the only thing they could do to retain a vast majority of subs.
Perhaps a developer or game is turning up by then that will help their platform survive.

They won't be charged? What is left to charge for?

Is there anything left on Geforce Now that even warrants the service existing at all?
