GeForce Now is possibly worth it depending on a few things.

For 20 bucks a month (at the most expensive), and with a decent internet connection, you can stream a bunch of different games on a virtual PC using a 4080 video card. I was amazed at how well it worked and how great it looked. There was no input lag either. Like it was super impressive. It's good for people who can't afford a gaming PC. 20 bucks a month is a lot more doable than 1200 or more upfront. You do need to own the game though so there is still that cost. I used it for a few months when my old PC wasn't cutting it anymore and I wanted to play some newer stuff. I since built a new PC and don't need this service anymore.

There is a cheaper plan for 10 bucks a month but there is sometimes a queue to get in at that tier.

There is also a free tier but there is always a line to get in and yes, it is free, but it's a pain with the line.

There are a couple issues with the service though. There's an AFK timer that kicks you out after a short period, which I get the need for since they don't want people taking up their machines just to sit AFK forever in a game. The other negative is that it isn't available for every game that is released. Publishers need to opt in and more and more are doing that lately so I'm sure the selection will get better.
