I like nitro for the audio and stream quality benefits. It’s not much money and makes the experience with friends better.
Doesn’t seem much different than streaming services asking for more for 4k streaming.
I have shit internet so the audio and stream quality does matter to me - its the universal emojis and sound board that keeps me paying. I'm not ashamed
Haha the extra sound board slots are a nice perk too. Nothing as satisfying as the John Cena intro when something goes your way in a game.
...stream quality is fully controlled by client side.
you don't need nitro for streaming at any quality you want to, just any client mod
Then they ask for a little more... Then a little more... This is why Netflix is $20/mo now because not enough people have the will to do without. These companies make you feel as if you're missing out or that you can't survive without their services, and when that happens they own you.
