It has been made possible for everyone to download and set up the Bluetooth mode upgrade for Stadia controllers that the renowned internet firm promised last week. Image credit- MorethantechĪll of Google Stadia’s cloud gaming services are coming to an end, however, this does not make any Stadia controllers that have already been purchased useless or out of date. Players have a great chance to try out the service and decide if it is a suitable fit for their gaming needs during the free month of GeForce Now priority membership. The ticket must be redeemed by February 19 as a result, Destiny 2 users should take advantage of this deal quickly. For gamers searching for the greatest gaming experience possible, this is a major increase. For $20 per month or $100 for six months, this level offers 4K resolutions, 8-hour sessions, and up to 120 frames per second. Recently, the GeForce Now service announced an Ultimate membership level with an RTX 4080 increase. to use that code you still need to buy the game at full price.As an incentive to transfer platforms, several game makers have given players free subscription months or exclusive in-game goodies.Īlso Read: Nvidia’s RTX 4090 gaming laptops Price is Now Public and then recently with BF1 they only give AMD upgrade codes. it is half the price of full game but at least it is not free. there are 290X Battlefield 4 edition that was priced $30 more than regular 290X back then. battlefield 4 for example EA was doing promotion with AMD 290X. if you aware about it EA no longer give free games with graphic card purchase. if anything this is most likely game publisher request to nvidia to ensure the game code to be used only by the one that purchasing the hardware or else there is no game bundle at all. but when they resell the code game publisher lose potential customer that will be buying the game directly from them regardless it is being full price or not. it's okay if the promo code used by the one purchase the hardware. because once you bought the hardware they get the sale. as others point out in other forum nvidia most likely did not care what you actually do with the game. they do this then no game publisher will want to do "free game promotion" with AMD anymore. I doubt AMD can really do this as a bullet marketing point to go against nvidia. Only the relatively low sales volume GTX 1070/1080 and Titan X would be unaffected. When they are deciding between similar cards. This can help push more people to the AMD platform. tied the game to the specific hardware is simply dumb because that would prevent people from upgrading even to their own future card.īut on another forum i see people get angry because they cannot sell those free stuff that they get when purchasing the product.ġ9245222 said:AMD should announce that you can still sell/gift unused codes. after that the game will be tied to you steam or uplay account (in this case it will be uplay). I think they only made that hardware check when redeeming the code for the first time. I guess you're screwed if you have to reinstall the game for some reason in this scenario as the lockdown has other repercussions beyond just making it so you can only have one copy. (OR you just upgrade to AMD 'cause they had a card that was better for you this time around.) and say you show customer loyalty and buy another NVidia card, or yours bites the dust, and the replacement obviously has a different serial. Say you upgrade your GPU at a later date. However unsavory this new process is to consumers, Nvidia stands to win on all fronts by possibly saving some money on unredeemed game offers (kind of like a rebate) and forcing consumers to install and use GeForce Experience to cash in on their free game.Īlthough Nvidia’s new coupon redemption process appears to be intended to stop code resellers, those with less-malicious intent will have to find a new way to gift unused codes to their friends.ġ9244211 said:I see another issue. The new verification aspect of the game code redemption process also makes the offers feel more like mail-in rebates, where the inconvenience of registration and redemption could deter some from bothering at all. Making redemption more difficult could result in fewer copies of these games in the wild. I usually give them away to friends or email the codes to colleagues, at no charge, in an effort not to let a good game go to waste. As a system builder, I find that I have many extra game codes laying around when I have an order to fulfill and Nvidia is offering a free game. Nvidia’s crackdown on game code resellers seems to have positive intent, but it could have negative consequences, at least, for consumers.
