Google Stadia is dead and Nvidia GeForce Now gets a price cut – what’s going on?

Nvidia GeForce Now could be about to make its Priority membership a lot cheaper, with a price cut of almost 50%.

The discounted price represents five bucks a month, which isn’t a huge amount of money to check out Nvidia’s streaming chops.

With Google Stadia recently announcing that it’ll soon close down, it makes sense that Nvidia would want to target those left without a streaming option due to its abandonment, giving
