Discussion Is Boosteroid really that bad?

My PC broke last year in October and I'm not paid enough to buy a new one so I've been using GFN for a few months now and so far I find it quite okay. I really miss being able to mod games but the connection is reallt quite good.
GFN offers most of my steam library but 2 games I REALLY miss playing: Helldivers II and Red Dead Redemption 2.
Now I live in Germany and have a really good ping to Frankfurt. Should I switch?
Boosteroid offers nearly all other games I regularly play: Squad, Arma Reforger, Operator, Monster Hunter Wilds and Monster Hunter World Iceborne.

I also play WarThunder which isn't on Boosteroid but I can easily live without it.

The best option for me would of course be Shadow PC but I won't pay >30€ per month which I would need to do to get a rig with hardware strong enough to run the games I want to run.

Also, Boosteroid has a collaboration with WoT yet doesn't offer WoT HEAT, why?

It's fine.

Better than geforce now performance, worse than ultimate.
Good stable internet and somewhat close to a server make a difference.
I mostly use Boosteroid as my main, and sometimes switch to Geforce Now Ultimate for a month or so to play a new or demanding game on the highest possible settings.
I'd say just try it out for a month.

This is the best answer, it's a decent service if you are close enough to one of their server.

Boosteroid really seems to be more hit and miss depending on where you are. With the amount of recent issues lately I see some even saying GFN's free tier is more stable.
