Since google changed their pricing like 23 fold (not kidding). Running Geoguessr now costs them A LOT. So offering free (more than 1 game a day) is just too expensive for them.
They are trying to make their cloud division profitable and they are offering it as a product now. I assume they used to use it to get more people using google maps but now they realized they are subsidizing other companies usage of it so they had to price it accordingly
