    Hey @velvetrussich the  "too many computers" message is not an error, it is working as intended. Due to the way that GeForce Now works each session is on a new system and a security feature of Origin is that only a certain number of systems each day can play EA games. If seeing this message you will need to speak with GeForce Now support to see what they can recommend.

It's very disheartening seeing messages such as

"If seeing this message you will need to speak with GeForce Now support to see what they can recommend."

and is indicative of the mindset that EA has, chasing nothing but money (Take a look at FIFA for further proof lol). If origin creates a hurdle such as the 'too many computers' one, it is up to them to ensure that it is compatible with the end user. The issue isn't Nvidia as there is nothing they can do to solve the issue (as it is on origins end), the issue is that EA loves to slap bandaid solutions on problems and dont care about the end user.

Both companies are blaming each other and its clear that Nvidia is in the right.
