My first impression of GFN was fantastic, to the extent that I even recommended it to another person who became your next customer after me. What it DOES do is create a hostile UX for the consumer, who feels the need to babysit their computer in order not to lose their in-game progress.

Normal people have to poop, on occasion, and don't necessarily want to rush their wipe job just to get back to their computer.Īnd that's what brings me to my main point here: This ridiculously short timeout probably doesn't save you much money.

Normal people get phone calls, normal people have the doorbell ring, normal people have crying babies, etc. Why don't you make it something more reasonable, like 20-30 minutes? You want to delete people's in-game progress (which could be well over an hour's worth) as a punishment for having neglected their game for 9 minutes?Īfter all, normal people use your service. *And this is unnecessarily more involved and annoying than launching a game locally, but that is a topic for another thread. (Though even in that case, an 8-minute timeout is a bit cruel.)īut automatically quitting the games of people who are paying ~$20 a month for Premium, when one of the marketing points of that tier is LITERALLY the ability to play for 6 (or 8) hours without having to repeat the process of getting back into your game*, is nothing less than cheeky. Keeping your servers clear of freeloading idlers is understandable.
