I've never used it so I can't comment on its quality, but I'm pretty sure they recently announced plans to scale back the Now service, suggesting that it's on its way to being shutdown.

it's not good. it's running on old tech (onlive?) and the quality of your experience is entirely dependent on your internet and your proximity to the now servers. i had a terrible experience with now on both ps4 and pc. tried hot shots golf and a few other timing games that needed low latency and they were basically unplayable. i've read that others have had better experiences

I don't have enough time to run through all of those games in a month and would love to at least have a minimum amount of time that I know each game would be around. I like that they're going to discount the games as well so if you really want one you can buy it.
