    I wonder where they got 100hr?

    I wonder if there’s some metric they’re going off of where the majority of the subscriber base only plays less than 100hrs and the “abusers” or whales play over the 100hr mark.

    100hr / 30 days is 3.3 hours a day. Which as a father of two… I’d be lucky to get that much in a day.

    100hr / 20 days(5 days a week) is 5 hours a day.

    100hr / 8 days (weekends only gaming) is 12.5 hours a day.

    None of these are outrageous and probably are the “average” user of the service.

    Now if you’re doing 8 or 12 hours a day for 30 days, that’s 240-360 hours a month. Which is pretty much gaming full time.

    I think 100 hours is a weird number to land on. I think 120 hours makes more sense (4 hours a day over 30 days).

    I do expect Nvidia to lower the hours over time. Expect to see 80 hours or 50 hours soon IMO.
