How does Yea Forums feel about Google's steam knock off?

I will never depend entirely on digital copies.

wouldnt that be an origin knock-off since origin is the one with a subscription model like netflix

This already exists in multiple forms. It's probably going to die off like Google+

Not only is the concept of streaming games without lag premature, I don't think very many devs would like to pay to support it when its easier for them to make games that are hosted on the consumer's device after transferring data once and also older gamers would rather have offline play and modablity possible so they wouldn't support it on principle.

I've seen these threads but never participated, is what I said basically the consensus? Because it seems rather blatant.

Still waiting for that antitrust smackdown.

it's not about bandwidth, it's response time

I wouldn't be so quick to discredit the idea. It wasn't possible years ago with the Phantom, but it may be possible now, especially with all this "groundbreaking new tech" coming out later this year. The game industry is hitting a wall anyway, as the time spent to make things look better vs the money spent and recovered in sales is starting to take its toll, which has been happening for awhile now.

I get the feeling after such a long time of dominance, Gaben and Valve have gotten sloppy and lazy. They aren't ready for the new competition, and the competition knows it. They smell blood.

>It would change the kinds of games that would be possible to make, since it's impossible to get around certain minimum input lag with streamed games. And unlike movies and books, it would be impossible to actually archive games without the source executable being run on the server, and all games in that era would be forever be unplayable once they get shut down.

Exactly. Games as a service are the future

>Netflix for games
so it'll start out great and then slowly ruin it's own library by filling 90% of it with 'original' garbage?
great, can't wait

Is it happening?
The great comeback of point and click games?

I can't see it working for anything that needs less than 200ms response time, so basically rpgs and strategy, or you play on easy since you'll be tanking hits

Games as a service is the future.
The future is games as shit.

Isn't that just the Xbox Game Pass? It's Microsofts only 'innovation' this generation and its library is going to be better than anything google will launch with

Great, gaming's probably going to become a thousandfold more casualized for sure if this goes through.

But how else do you guys think this is going to affect the industry?
Would more people opt to pay for a subscription-based streaming service through google than to own a physical console?
Will we see companies like sony and microsoft pay studios more for exclusivity?
What if studios just outright refuse to let google stream their games?

oh I agree.
steam was especially shit in the later half of this decade.
I would even argue post-2013 steam has been garbage.

Times have changed. Everyone agrees games as a service will be the only games to ever exist in the future, as points out. It's gonna happen very soon. We literally can't stop it.

It will go through and make billions of $$$. We lost.

We just call it 'cinematic experience' and the console peasants will eat it up.

I don't really like streaming services. I like looking through game files, messing around with music files, etc. and streaming means you won't be able to do that anymore.

We really just need to legalize "piracy".

disruptive. pivotal.

>Everyone agrees games as a service will be the only games to ever exist in the future
You’re a colossal retard if you think that will ever come to pass. The industry is far too large to accommodate EVERY single possible game on these shitty streaming services, which ultimately means many indie devs are going to basically create a new renaissance of gaming in which modable, DRM-free game’s can be sold just like in the days of old.

But by all means, lie down and die for your shitty streamable AAA games that can’t be modded or altered in any way. Traditional gaming isn’t going away just because Gewgle found a new way to profit off of gaming.

>google
More censored games

>This shit happened to movies, books, and pretty much every other form of media we consume.
I wonder if I'll live to see the day video games stop doing shit that's counter-intuitive to gameplay itself just because other media did it too. I guess when games become 90% movies streaming won't make much of a difference.

It's tolerable depending on the game. For example: turn based strategy games.

This is lEA dream.
GAME AS A SERVICE

I chuckled, then died a little inside.

it will crash and burn unless it has a way to instantly load games from the internet, which it won't because that's impossible.

Why does every retard in this thread assume its going to be streaming? It will be a monthly fee where you can download and install an unlimited number of games under the service but terminates if you stop paying, so basically access to a ton of games instead of movies for a monthly flat fee like netflix

Streaming is the future of video games.

It will fail the same way Google+ failed

not if they stop selling capable hardware to end consumers. All you need is a specialized chip for decoding a video stream. No more general purpose CPUs, no GPU, no more 3rd party software period. The tech giants regret making open, customizable computing the norm, so the sooner they can make the new generation forget what it was like to install their own software the better.

That's another issue entirely. Run a game instantly through internet is possible though.
Also

You're insane, that will never happen. People would buy parts from China like always, and build shit from scratch.

If it has AAA games that you can download and play for 7.99 a month with online included to play with friends then I can see it being worth something. But if they're going for a streaming service they'll be in for a rude awakening when they realize that unless you live in SK/Japan well over 50% of people won't have the Internet speeds to compete

there's a reason microsoft's gamepass is better than psnow, you can download the games to avoid the plethora of issues cloud based shit has

>Yea Forumsro
Fucking kill yourself

Who even said they're planning a game streaming service? I read it more as a flatrate for vidya. Kinda like PS Plus, except you have access to every game in the store.

It's going to be like that service-based model Linus shilled a few months ago, but even shittier cause Google keep cutting corners everywhere, but less expensive cause it's going to be subsidised.

Google needs to take over the internet business first and give everyone their 1 Tb/s fiber-optic network first.

Might apply to Google just to do it

movies, books, and pretty much every other form of media do not suffer from input lag

>streaming
i might be autistic but how does this work? presumably its running off a PC and it gets sent back to you but how many fucking computers would they need ?

Well we don't *stream* books, but we download them from, e.g. Amazon onto our kindles. And Amazon maintains the right to delete those books whenever they want. You do not legally own the books you download.

In 2009, Amazon actually remotely deleted two books, "1984" and "Animal Farm" from people's kindles despite the fact that they bought the books.
nytimes.com/2009/07/18/technology/companies/18amazon.html

The issue with game streaming is one of the largest markets in the world (america) doesn't have internet capable of handling it. Korea and japan both can, which is why they've had successful game streaming services for the better part of 2 decades (korea opting out in the early 2000s for a pc방 model instead, japan keeping with streaming). The states barely have internet capable of online play involving packet loads of 3000 or more. It's not a feasible reality without heavy optimizations.

It'll probably play like world of warcraft. If I recall, the game is streamed as well, but good luck figuring out exactly how. Shit like that is a closely guarded secret for whatever reason.

>In 2009, Amazon actually remotely deleted two books, "1984" and "Animal Farm" from people's kindles despite the fact that they bought the books.

This couldn't have been a coincidence

They won't be able to take away the good stuff we have now or the entirety of the indie scene. It's fortunate I grew out of this when I did saving myself the worst of it, when I thought it was getting bad back then.

This could be the killing blow on user generated mods unless Blender spontaneously becomes extremely good and totally pulls the floor out from under Autodesk and Adobe's monopoly on standard, premium middleware.

As much progress as Blender has made, I wouldn't count on it. They've got a long uphill battle to keep fighting.

the only way i can think of for this to be feasible is to force people to download the raw data (assets) and run the executable through an online VM. and i still there's a problem with that model. straight up streaming a game running on a dedicated machine that handles everything is bad. just look at playstation's attempt at this.

Ah yes, a google knock off. Remember their Skype knock off? Or their facebook knock off? Of course you don't. I'm pretty sure the Zune had a larger userbase than half these "competitive services" Google's launched and buried.

Or they attract an even bigger audience that doesn't know what they're getting into.
Seeding the youngest generations now for tomorrow's machinations.

True. I live in rural Germany and my internet speed is like 5mbps when I'm lucky. I can't even watch Youtube in 1080p

>Write bad review of the game
>Banned for hate speach

Why would it be different this time? Game streaming has sucked ass everytime it has been tried

Also it is more expensive for consumers in the long run. Streaming is cuckoldry.

what exactly does this have to do with Autodesk and Adobe? Are you saying CAD tools will end up streaming only as well? I know Adobe is now subscription based, like they're pretending their CC is some kind of cloud service already.

Better start hoarding games now. You best be having a massive backlog before streaming takes over. Remember kids, if you don't have 3-2-1 copies of everything, then you truly don't own it nor can you rely on it for the future.

And see this is why I stopped buying anything off Steam or other platforms like it. If GOG goes under I'll just pirate what little is worth bothering with.

It would be a different business model than Steam if Netflix is the reference.

Honestly, considering the wide range of games available and how expensive companies enjoy selling them...i don't see a relevant library having a cheap monthly fee.

Normies don't care, nobody cares but us

If they mean you download and play all games for one fee, cool.

If they mean streaming, it wont work at all. Latency kills the entire platform.

How did this one post at the beginning of the thread make everyone think it's actually a streaming service, when the more likely scenario is that it'll just be a subscription-based access to a library of games?

This. The younger generation is so willing to gobble up shit like fortnite in any ay they can.

So the Google Play store?

this fucking pajeet really need to be tortured A LOT before getting publicly executed

Well, Android is pretty successful (literally a cheap iPhone knock-off).
Google Chrome is also very succesful (cheap Firefox knock off).
In fact, nothing they make is really innovative in nature.. Google maps.. just another GPS /mapping service.. Gmail.. just another email client service... Google Translate.. wow a fucking translator..

The question isn't "is it a cheap knock off", but rather "how good is it?"
And admittedly, Google Plus was really bad. That was a huge failure.

Google need to sack this pajeet if they don't wanna go bankrupt.

It doesn't. I replied to the wrong thread.
It's a different topic that doesn't even matter when content is hosted remotely and streamed.

Needless to say though, content creation and editing has gotten more restricted to the average hobbyist, and the standards are inherently more complex.

There are CoD videos which go into tier lists for weapons based on kill times in the milliseconds.

If the most braindead gaming audience cares that much about getting an edge how will they respond when you offer a product where you have latency on the top of your normal lag?

Streaming will not work in gaming, probably ever until we get something better than google fiber worldwide.

Is that what they're making?
Another online storefront?
Even games on the whole as a service is far from an original idea and has time and time again failed and will likely continue to fail.

One would question the difference between the console they wish to produce and the OUYA or the Nvidia Shield which has a set-top box version and the games as a service bullshit in the form of GeForce Now.
Google owns android, would it just be another android console like those 2?

I feel like there is no room for competition and all that happened is some dickhole in a 3 piece suit saw.

Or he just compared it to netflix because that's a hugely popular thing that will get peoples attention, and the actual similarity is just that it's a thing you pay monthly to get access to a library of things.

Why would they do that?
Also just buy steam cards

If 1 million people wanted this service, that is 1 million dedicated hardware setups, at even only just $1000 each, would cost google 1 billion dollars to setup even before actually turning the power on.

And 1 million would be shit sales for literally any aspect of the entertainment industry.

The crux of the streaming service is that it puts the burden of purchasing the gaming computer on the provider rather than the end user. This of course 10 years after basically every internet cafe dissolved, where they only had a dozen to a hundred computers.

Literally so stupid of an idea that it could ruin even google into absolvency. But really, 2000 people will get this dumb shit and the service will be dead in 2 years tops.

I know the issues, i'm just saying if somehow i could give the heavy lifting of running these games to a third party while i just enjoy the gameplay. Basically relieving my cpu/gpu/hd from all that work. I'm in for that.

The infrastructure for it doesn't exist yet. At least not in the US. It's going to Hiroshima.

Anybody remember the phantom?

No, the biggest tech company in the world getting into an industry is what could flip it on it's head.

Why are you so desperate to defend your illogical assumption that you double down and start making illogical assumptions for everything else?

You're delusional. The top grossing games are mobile gachashit, all day every day. Competitive games get a marketing bump from you idiots on livestreams and events, but will never, ever make bank like FGO, etc.

all of these still have physical copies being sold up to this day tho

This isn't about generational gaps or age as much as it is about how invested people are in games. Casuals don't care as much about anti consumer shit for the same reason elders don't care about all the jewish shit done by cable companies. Even if Google normalizes streaming they will only be able to pander to the lowest denominators, and they will fail because there are already companies fighting over this crowd and they have something they don't, franchises being held hostages which forces everybody who wants to play the game to bite the bullet and pay for shit like season pass, DLC, microtransactions, etc.

They can already see what we masturbate to. Your Skyrim mods are irrelevant in comparison.

If they want a decent library they will need gamedev support.
There's literally no decent model for most dev that would give them more than just releasing the game on store (physical or virtual). If you pay the dev a fixed amount, they get fucked because there's too many AAA company, so you need a huge amount of subscriber. If you pay them per hours played on the platform, solo game gets fucked by multiplayer ones, even then you still need to get a cut big enough to make up for a regular sell (60/70$ vs a cut of x$/month)

You'll just have to pay more when you go over the cap. This is what corporations want anyway; you paying more.

Sure but they already have enough now that whatever fear you have they can get more of you is misplaced. Since they already know where you are, read your emails, see what you search and the websites you browse through.
I mean, this week Chrome had a bug that people could control all your machine from the fucking browser. I mean, your games are nothing in comparison to the profile they can get of you at this very instant.

The only reason I'm not too bothered is because none of the AAA devs will support this. EA, Ubi, Activision, Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, they will avoid Google.
What is scary is if these companies just make their own streaming service and have that be the default to play games.

But they fucking are. EA maybe a ravenous mass of flesh that consumes every developer we once loved, but google is an army of drones and security cameras that want to know everything about you and make sure you’re doing what they perceive as right.

Are you and everyone else in the thread just so desperate to feel smart that you'll project the dumbest possible scenario onto a news story just so you can say the obvious criticism?

see, the mistake is thinking that they are ever satisfied, you know? if they could control your bowel movements, they would get majority shares on it just to have a hand it in for 'just in case'

Someone fill the maze for me while I take a shit.

haven't you heard of google cloud compute? Anybody with a google account can run a virtual machine with a custom amount of memory and CPUs, along with using virtual unlimited storage. How do you think they pull that off?

I remember On Live. When I got the Xperia Play it came with a free trial, shit was horrible. There was like a 1-2 second lag on everything, and the framerate and resolution would randomly dip all the time.

This is the most corporate and generic innovation, you can just imagine some suit declaring "Netflix but video games" and a bunch of faceless suits declaring it to the be second coming of jesus because Netflix is such a big meme. Of course this somehow ignores that the fundamentals of the whole thing are stupid, you think they'll be able to stream 1920x1080 at 60fps in high quality or without lag? i don't know the numbers but i'd imagine the amount of information that gets shoved from your GPU to your screen is pretty massive. and secondly this is just the final evolution of games as a service where you have to pay to access "your" games. It's entirely motivated by profit (obviously) where instead of paying 30 bucks for your game you have to pay 30 a month just for access, look at the Photoshop model shits scummy as fuck but they wouldn't do it if it wasn't profitable. also fuck google they're probably the scummiest company on the planet right now

Which means the hardware has to run it you fucking dumbass.

it's gonna be piece of shit like Google+, wtih more casualized games with unbearable input delay and a inflated monthly subscription on top of your shitty internet service that got bottled necked by greedy corporations that brided a damn pajeet to kill off Net Neutrality.

The future, gaming wise, is gonna be one cluster fuck of a service.

No it doesn't.
It says you can download them separately from the streaming service.

alright NOW I'm onboard.

Netflix content is non-interactive. They own racks in all major nodes with their most popular content hosted directly there. Games can't be done the same way and would suffer from input lag.

Do you like monster hunter?

>old media has to say "netflix for games" because Boomers have no idea what the fuck Steam is
just pathetic

google can suckle on my fat chode

>Netflix content is non-interactive

You don't know what it is either apparently.

Makes me happy that my backlog is so goddamn enormous that I'll be dead long before I ever complete it.

I think the idea is you download and play a game whenever you like as long as you've paid your monthly subscription

>Streaming games
I will never do that.

Then it's not a streaming service.

The tech is inherently the same the flaw is the same, you'll always have delay when streaming a service especially so when it's an interactive medium, back and forth from client to server that was entirely why onlive failed. Unless there's some gamebreaking technology that google now has there'll still be inherently a delay and quality loss hence why PSNow streaming isn't booming in popularity

Not him but- that's what makes me think they might. Or else they've lost their minds.

>image editing feature
What the fuck

>Project Stream

It's definitely a streaming service

I think it's because of how Google runs. They have a lot of bets going on at once, and the best way to get a promotion is to lead one and release a new product.

There's a decent chance that the people in charge know it won't work, but also know that it's going to get them promoted so they don't care.

Look at fucking Google+. I know someone that was on that team; she told me it was a few people at top angling for a promo, new employees that didn't know any better, and complete dumbasses. All the intelligent employees fucking noped out of there ASAP.

This. Guaranteed google will focus on mobile style games because they’re cheaper to make and make more money.

The centralisation of games and movies etc is cancer.
Steam is cancer
google is cancer
its all cancer.

Steam isn't going anywhere, your hardware isn't going anywhere, nvidia etc aren't going anywhere, there'll likely still be inherent flaws of input lag, delay, connection issues, internet speed requirements, cost... etc

There's plenty of other technology companies that have tried this the only reason this is getting any headroom is because Google can throw another product under it's wings which will most likely end up in their graveyard. They'll be seen by people who aren't technology-keen as being innovaters but in reality the patents etc have been around for over a decade

I love playing games with 1th of a second of input lag! It wont catch on.

I don't see people taking to it. Normalfags love action multiplayer games. Stuff like Fortnite and League would never fucking work through streaming. There's power in the preferences of normalfags. If anything, niche games Yea Forumsirgins play fit streaming more. JRPGs, VNs, stuff like that.

it'll be monthly payment of something like $20 or $120 for a year

what if it's like PS+ and you can download and play the game for as long as you're paying for the service? Although the advantage of this services would be that instead of 2 you'll have access to like a hundred at the same time.

And just like Netflix, new game releases won't be available on its day of release and there'll be a monthly rotation where new games will be added while some will be removed. That way it could encourage people to buy games too.

Can't wait for every publisher to have their own streaming service and then start pulling their game from other services.
The same shit happened with netflix.

it is a very good thing and it NEEDS to be the only way to play games so we can end piracy forever and stop those leeches from destroying the economy

Yeah but think of it this way. Instead of offloading the cost of buying hardware to the people who want to play games, the streaming service is taking up these costs.
For every person who would want to play a game, the streaming service needs 1 piece of hardware capable of playing that game then streaming it. Imagine a platform the size of Steam, which has 12-18 million people online at once. Each one of those would need a corresponding machine to stream the game to them. If this machine is expected to play a variety of games and stream them, it needs to be good, which means expensive.

How exactly is this model more economically viable than the current model?
I mean, I know it'll be a monthly fee. But with the initial cost of this being so massive, will a monthly fee ever recoup that initial cost? And even if it does, wouldn't a service like Xbones game pass just be superior anyway since it's a monthly fee without the need for all that hardware?

Physical media is dying and I fucking hate it.

Why would devs agree to put their games on this, anyway? They're better off selling individual copies to you for 60$ plus DLCs

Oh boy time for GAME STREAMING, are you ready to NEVER OWN A VIDEO GAME AGAIN? This shift for "Convenience" that also happens to mean you don't own anything is hilarious. It's no wonder it has so much corporate support.

Streaming games services are DOA regardless of who makes them.

I wonder what games it will have. Also people saw some stuff google was working on for the google stream and yeti and they said google is really putting in an effort for gaming.

I'm assuming l the price will be $250 - $350 for competitive prices and do a trial period before marking the price. Even then Google is able to afford an experiment project. This looks like a "let's see if we can" type of perfect

why? it uses it resources that can be used for something else

I hope they try and it fails abysmally like everything Google has tried to do on their own since being the lucky winner of the search engine wars.

I wanna see PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo all take a huge shit all over Google then have EA acquire anything proprietary they end up auctioning off so EA can do what they do best and ruin that too.

Honestly, I think that's what Google is going for. They have no history of games, but they do have a huge history of trying to break into the internet infrastructure market.

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I feel like Google is starting this service knowing full well that it will be laggy to hell. They want people to get angry and complain to the ISPs so Google will have some leverage to try and break regulations.

Alphabet needs to be broken up as Elizabeth Warren is right (even if the cunt is retarded) as the company is a monopoly.

With movies and TV shows, you watch them once and that's pretty much it so streaming seems the perfect thing. I don't use Spotify and don't know what it's about but it's the exact opposite of that for music and games so why would I want to not own them? Sometimes I want to replay a game, sometimes i don't even finish the damn game and so on so what the fuck is the point of streaming vidya? Some sort of way to bring back renting like ye-olde days of blockbuster where you have to beat the game within a week and then return it?

>selling shit that other people came up with
which would probably be dead if they haven't bought it

Spotify works for music for a number of reasons. Music is very short and people don't generally just sit and listen to music are the two big ones. People generally listen to music while doing other things and therefore care less about the specific song they're listening to and just want to listen to something they like. This is why a random playlist with an algorithm actually works very well for music.

Almost all companies are trying to find a way to move to 'passive profit' or whatever that company calls it. Every company wants a subscription service because it eliminates competition. If you buy, say, Netflix, then your first instinct when you want to watch something is to see if it's on Netflix since you're already paying for it. If they don't have it, you might even watch something else on Netflix since you're already there. They don't need to fight Amazon or eBay for your money since they already have it. Meanwhile, with video games, every single time you want to buy a new one, you have Steam and Epic and GMG and Humble and Amazon and a dozen others, and they have to fight each other to get you buying from them every single time.

Silicon Valley gave up on the future

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_memory

Universal memory refers to a hypothetical computer data storage device combining the cost benefits of DRAM, the speed of SRAM, the non-volatility of flash memory along with infinite durability. Such a device, if it ever becomes possible to develop, would have a far-reaching impact on the computer market.

For a memory technology to be considered a universal memory, it would need to have best characteristics of several memory technologies. It would need to:

- operate very quickly – like SRAM cache
- support a practically unlimited number of read/write cycles – like SRAM and DRAM
- retain data indefinitely without using power – like flash memory and hard disk drives, and
- be sufficiently large for common operating systems and application programs, yet affordable – like hard disk drives.

If they fixed the issue of latency then fairplay to googles engineers

>i-it has to start somewhere!

it doesn't when it literally doesn't work and never will. LOCAL game streaming still has significant enough lag introduced to be problematic in many games. to get even close to the level of local streaming you need per-user hardware dedicated custom servers running directly to you. that will never happen at scale and it costs MORE than just maintaining a build yourself, it should since it basically a more complicated version of running a super long video cable. game streaming will never work for anything but SLOW games, and even then with video compression that makes it look like shit.

then that isn't game streaming, that's just a paid distribution platform which has existed even before steam, it's nothing new. the point of game streaming is that you can play games on a device that only need the hardware for an internet connection, input, and display.

What you posted has nothing to do with physical media dying.

That is basically just talking about some theoretical ram that would be fast as CPU caches and as large as ram, which is seemingly impossible at the moment because when something gets larger it has to also travel further.

Physical media dying is because it's easier for people to store things digitally than have clutters of disks everywhere.

>LOCAL game streaming still has significant enough lag introduced to be problematic in many games
this is a lot from the software development side though, the local infrastructure should be as viable as hdmi for 1080p resolution
when going to 4k though hdmi cables are generally higher bandwidth than what most high end nics run

there isn't much incentive to improve homebrew local streaming quality, since there's not as much money in it

Eh, Not really. They have a decent enough backlog of original shows and smaller production companies

It might become more niche, but I doubt it will die anytime soon.

The article posted was CNBC, and they're going to hype everything up as if it's brand new, and it doesn't say streaming games, it just says "netflix for games".

It's most likely going to be an Origin Access type deal where you pay some sub fee and get access to games, not streaming games like some people here think. If valve weren't so incompetent they could probably beat google to this since they've got so many deals with publishers/devs already, and have steam as a platform that could support this easily.

now imagine if you could get one of those ports on a standard gaming card for an addition $20 or something. although I don't know how much latency would be introduced from input transmission. the only way I can think of getting that down is using a really powerful wireless system direct back to the main PC at which point it really is a more complicated version of running long cables.

This

People don't seem to understand that publishers will happily give exclusive rights for google to sell their games as a streaming service because of piracy.

It doesn't matter weather the pirates would have bought the game or not they think they are losing out on money. Ignoring this and pretending it won't work is the most retarded thing I have read so far this year.

WAKE UP SHEEPLE.

FPS games are point and click games, you point and click on your enemies to kill them. You are just a scrub trying to justify being shitty at what are in essence a variety of point and click games

Here's the thing: literally nobody has internet good enough to stream video games. Not the Koreans, not that one randumb Euro country that has gig fiber standard. Google is going to be dead in the water with any sort of streaming service.

I don’t want to imagine a game industry that works like Nextflix and Hulu. No one would focus on good games, just padding their library with shit. These shit races with competing services seeing who can say “we have more games made per year than the other services!”

Who cares where the gaming industry is headed? Good games arent being made anymore. Last console with good games was the PS2. I say fuck it and turn gaming fully DRM. I still have my good shit so I ain't complaining

Streaming is the next logical step of digital distribution, anyone that has paid for a digitally distributed game voted with their wallet for this.

No it isn't, at least not for the US. Nobody in the US has internet good enough for streaming.

What everyone seems to forget is that google is extremely competent and extremely rich mich makes them dangerous. They might not takedown steam just now but they can seriously shake things up and disturb PC gaming.

If streaming takes over then that will absolutely end piracy barring internal corporate security leaks.

Not in the last decade where they fucked up and broke certain Youtube features that they had to remove it or fucked up gmail accounts.

They do reach their goals and their technology works. Outside of some goofy side projects like the google glasses they are successful everytime they seriously put effort into something.

They're also fucking everywhere which on itself gives them a huge advantage over their competitors.

Never underestimate the ability of normal faggots to ruin everything.

>Bravo piratefags. You killed vidya for everyone.
This is some how piratefags fault? Its more like consumers are gullible fucking retards and gaming company's are all ways fucking you over because of it.

Normalfags can stream movies via netflix, but they can't stream video games. They don't have internet good enough.

Nowhere was that ever said. However you're a colossal squid of a retard if you think the market in the US would be ignored.

I live in fucking Australia so I have even less interest in this idea than the rest of you. I'm certain this is the way the industry will be moving eventually but I can only imagine just how fucking terrible this shit will run.

Actually it has relevance if you read the proper context you god damn simpleton. Don't pay for these shitty streaming game services and they'll fucking die and companies will realise that "Oh hey maybe people can't actually use games as streaming at the moment."

>Buy game that I want
>REEE FUCK YOU STOP MAKING IT HARDER FOR ME TO PIRATE
(You)

You'd be insane to buy a game from Google's store, if people think owning digital games is a risk, just imagine what an insanely anti consumer company like google will be. Just look at everything about the current state of youtube as an example.

Except you're not buying the game you want you faggot. With this you would be literally paying a rental fee for a worse experience.

not touching anything google, they own enough of my digital life and i hate the pajeet pooinloo subhuman running it

>You're not buying the game you want
Who the fuck are you?

I'd rather take any ISP over Google.
Panoramio never forget Nasim Aghdam did nothing wrong except miss.

Maybe you just grew up and don't like video games as a hobby anymore, and only like the old ones because it gives you nostalgia and you are familiar with.

Why would you buy a digital book? Digital games and physical games are the same, but books? Entirely different.
Audiobooks I understand, but digital books?

I think even they would see through google's bullshit, they mostly already do thanks to youtube's wonderful track record of fucking over youtubers and their audience.

They bought maps, or the precursor to maps rather.

I thought one of the main reasons consoles haven't gone full digital is due stores refusing to stock hardware and accessories.
GameStop is already turning into a retro and collectibles store

But why?
Do they not understand that input lag will fuck your game up?

>It's the people who support developers fault that the developers are taking extreme measures to combat piracy
Yes actually

Someone that has qualities you lack, a backbone and some brain cells.

From most perspectives you look and sound like an invertebrate.

From every perspective you look and sound like a faggot.

Not everything Google does is a success. Remember Google+ and how literally nobody used it?

Anyway, I'd love to know what they mean by "Netflix for games". Either they mean something like Steam but they don't want to say "another Steam", or they mean a game streaming service like that OnLive thing that flopped. If it is game streaming, I'm not saying it will definitely flop, but it's not going to replace stores like Steam, GOG, etc. At the very least, you'll still be downloading your indie games.

I dont think you get it, this is GOOGLE. They will have datacenters fucking everywhere so ping will be regional

gottem

Google could put a datacenter in your fucking house and there will still be input lag because you need to transmit that data across the LAN

The only limitation is the idiotic infrastructure of the ISPs and the Government's unwillingness to just fucking label the internet a standard utility so we, and by we I mean fucking everybody under the sun, can have consistent access for a standard fee.

From the lord's perspective you're subhuman trash.

Physical you own
Digital you kinda own but there's always the risk of losing the whole thing by stepping on the wrong toes
Stream, you don't own anything, it can be gone whenever they want, patched without your controller, no mods, games will begin to alter their game designs to make it more alluring to a streamable platform, you get banned you're out, your profile will probably be deleted or reset and other shit I haven't thought about.
The convinience of playing it instantly seems like it requires too much sacrifice, and in the end will only end up screwing over the consumer, like always.

And physical there's always the risk of losing the whole thing by stepping with toes...

This is just gonna be Project Stream with more games, probably an android controller too

>From the lord's perspective you're subhuman trash.
Nice of you try to and gauge things from my perspective but the lord actually says you're a faggot.

good thing none of this is going to happen since the piece of shit won't even get off the ground

Its so fucking impossible to have both a disc slot and hard drive space, huh?
Oh right, if you have a CD that means you actually own a product, and developers and publishers hate customers with every fiber of their beta male being.

>games start having a bunch of bullet time mechanics in their game to compensate the action input heavy moments affected by the lag, like most games being developed with gamepad in mind, auto aim, ui
This could effect games to the core if it takes off.

They said that about digital games and they still shove season passes and mtx up the ass.

>if you have a CD that means you actually own a product

How can you be so naive as to think this, especially today

the faster steam dies, the better.

He's not really wrong. He does own the product and can sell it, lend it, do whatever with it. The product is the CD. The restricted part is the data on the CD

Tell me whats wrong with steam and how always online streaming only games solve the problem

He's the guy you're replying to and you stop him by ignoring his posts.

Those people are either corporate shills or they just hate the fact that they keep spending money on something that others get for free.

Its pointless and wastefull, dont need films music or games on plastic discs anymore that unless stored airtight will degrade over time anyway

But I'm only 18

Console wars crap stems out of people building an identity around what brands they buy rather than being more developed people who enjoy things without making them a part of their being.

Through that, they develop a sense of "What's good for BRAND is good for me" which becomes "What's bad for BRAND is bad for me.

Nobody except the creator of the software has owned any software in many decades. All you have is a license to use it.
If one day the company decided to take your license away, yes you would still have the software, but you would be a pirate if you still kept using that.

Most of internet infrastructure goes through fiber already, only the last few hundred meters from the switch to the home tends to use something else and that's virtually irrelevant. Doesn't change that latency will be unusuable for streaming games that aren't extremely casual shit or turn-based. Fiber doesn't magically go faster than light.

>Nobody except the creator of the software has owned any software in many decades.
Did you even read that post?
> The restricted part is the data on the CD

they didn't say you owned the software on the disc.

Once they figure out how to use quantum entanglement to do faster than light inputs this will be a thing of the past. I can see one day people using basic PC's just to stream the game they are playing

But that's a real console with a real GPU/CPU/cache/memory/etc. and this thing will be a glorified set-top box with the power of a smartphone and before you say those are powerful now, no they are most definitely not compared to any serious hardware.

other forms of media aren't 70-100+ GB and don't require sub10ms of input lag to be decent

....wait

I have Netflix and I still pirate tv shows, even Netflix shows, because it takes Netflix 24 hours or even days to subtitle shit for where I live (which I don't need or want, but they seem to think differently).

Also when Netflix started out it would have 1080p films, now pretty much all its films are 480p or 720p so I think I'll finally stop my subscription now, it's just not worth it for those rare good Netflix originals like that Takashi Miike film and the Werner Herzog docu.

It's retarded, but then again so are all the people who still keep using Google sites/software/services after it being well-known for years just how fucked up the company is with privacy rape and scummy practices. So, I assume it will attain at least a comfortable operating margin.

probably is where most things are headed, thank fuck for emulators and the thousands of past generation games that I have never played.

Shit like that is the future, and I hate it. At least Google might crash and burn.

Vote with your wallet and this shit will disappear.

Are you right next to the datacenter? You know lag is based on distance not bandwidth, right? You probably don't because most of Yea Forums stacks shelves for a living.

I already am but for everyone who does there's a million dumbfuck normies buying it.

Streaming games are not only the future, in 50 years they'll be the only games anyone plays. Because nobody will be able to afford a rig capable of running a fork of the Google super AI that generates games for you on the fly, and basically acts as a real time GM to tailor your experience.

Input lag is already a thing of the past. What I mean by that is that no game made in the past 15 years has had any reaction based gameplay. There's timing based, but that works the same if you have up to a full second of latency, as long as it's consistent.

Sony has been doing it for a while with PlayStation Now. Microsoft is doubling down on it by becoming a “service” on Nintendo Switch for starters... it’s happening, but I wouldn’t worry too much about it. This is just another way that gaming is expanding.

Think of it like other media. Music, movies, books, comics... There will always exist a collectors market, even if there is a lot of digital and streaming exclusive stuff.

They can't even stream videos properly yet.

foster the scene you want, it's not an easy thing user. go ahead and complain but also talk to people who like the shit that you like and do your own thing. I fucking hate most modern games and do not engage with people in any meaningful way who buy them. In that way I've been able to isolate myself from exposure to it and from proponates of it.

They already ruined everything by accepting digital distribution

See, this works well with Music because it provides easy access for people who just want to "listen to music" without worrying about all the technical details. But it's pretty easy to stream music to even a cellphone with a spotty connection somewhere, and it gives you the option to store it in case you'll have none.

For Movies, you take a step up and start seeing a few issues, the videos start having to be compressed/not very high quality so it can reach more people who don't have a consistent high speed internet. There ARE things like 4K video available but I can only imagine that's a minority that can afford a 4K tv, good speed internet and knows how to set it all up for minimum lag (at least compared to everyone else watching stuff on Netflix)

Now we go into games, that not only have to do audio and video flawlessly for a smooth experience, ideally with no compression, in real time, you also have to send input too and they have to respond in a timely manner.

The way I see it, it's simple, if they do it purely as streaming, they would need for the majority of their consumer base to also have affordable, high speed, consistent and easy to set up internet available to them that they are willing to switch to if they don't have already. Otherwise you'd have to download these things locally, and at that point you are just relying on your local hardware and it becomes another Games Pass/Origin Premier deal, which could work if they had a fuckton of games there.

Or who knows, maybe Google has found some sort of intelligent in-between algorithm where you download some of the game but it still runs mostly on their servers, not using many of your PC resources. Either way between this and Microsoft's move to basically unify Xbox/Win 10 it's gonna be an interesting March that could start pushing the industry into a new direction, good or bad.

Anyone who buys a 4k tv to watch "4k" but starved streams from Netflix is a fucking idiot. Netflix 4k streams have a fraction of the bitrate of a blu ray, let alone 4k blu Ray.

Yeah and that's already a minority of Netflix users. But I imagine it's a minority within a minority to own a 4K TV and actually go find proper 4k Blurays. I bet there's a lot of people who pick these up because "the quality is better, it's 4k!" and just use it to watch whatever on Netflix, maybe not even in 4k quality.

The average consumer is not very tech oriented, but it still has money to spend on that tech and all it takes is good enough marketing.

because this place is full of corporate boot lickers and plebbit/trannyera faggots

Fuck google.

>No more general purpose CPUs, no GPU, no more 3rd party software period
So you think because Google wants to make a streamed game service that Nvidia and AMD are just gonna stop making consumer GPU's? Are you retarded? Do you not understand that babbys vidya geams isn't the entire market of computer buyers?

>And physical there's always the risk of losing the whole thing by stepping with toes...

Though you are partially right for factors that you can't control well, like natural disasters or burglary.

Shit even select Netflix shows have Physical releases, ex: Bojack Horseman and Arrested Development
