You guys shouldn't be laughing. This is fucking SERIOUS. Think of how much money Google has, the exclusives they could moneyhat, the IPs they could buy. They can literally ruin gaming. Google has already shown they're committed to keeping unprofitable shit alive just so they can dominate the market (ie Youtube) this would no be beyond them.
>Google >succeed at anything other than Search >something they're really only still used for because of habit by normies when their results are objectively worse than their competition This will be quietly shut down in 2021 after it's an abject failure.

It really is a huge fucking scam that every "digital influencer" on their payroll will be pushing down their cattles throats for awhile. It all feels very out of touch. Ouya 2
Andrew Richardson
As long Steam and other free services exists, its impossible to let payed services flourish on the PC aside from the MMO genre, but MMOs have also been in a decline for forever now.
Why else do you think we shit on consoles for having paid online?
Angel Jackson
Remember how Google Fiber was supposed to be everywhere by now? Hell, I was hyped for Google Fiber when I lived in Austin, TX. I fully expected it to have grown majorly by now, but nope.
Luke Foster

Easton Nguyen
It's going to fail so I wouldn't worry too much.
Kayden Wright
I'm laughing because it's a way of coping. People in high stress jobs like police and doctors do it all the time.
Cameron Gray
but who has more data centers? bill gates alone or the whole google? my bet is on bill gates. he's been secretly building those since the 70s
Grayson Miller

When will this end?
Ian Morales
good, let the "industry" fall, and the hobbyists rise.
Nathaniel Wright
>Think of how much money Google has less than microsoft
Asher Lewis
I hope this goes the way of google plus
Lucas Ramirez
Amazon has more than both MS and Google
Asher Stewart
God I hope they do. Free me from this hell.
Andrew Ward
That's because Google Fiber is fucking with government level shit. Game developers don't have that kind of power to resist.
Ethan Davis
>Think of how much money Google has, the exclusives they could moneyhat have you heard of a small company called microsoft xbone doesnt have any exclusives and neither will google
Justin Smith
I don't get why you retards hate this
Nathan Collins
I tried duckduckgo but the search results were bad
Henry Howard
I really wouldn’t worry about it too much, people said the same thing about Google+ and a lot of other shit they did.
Remember, this isn’t about selling personal info to advertisers (where 90% of their revenue comes from), so chances are it’s staffed up and down with incompetent diversity hires and trannies, which means it’s going to suck.
Connor Allen
There’s nothing to worry about. US internet providers have been cucking us for decades, and as a result our internet is way too slow to handle Google’s streaming service. Until Fiber internet is available worldwide, vidya streaming is destined to fail.
Eli Ramirez
What're you going to do then, faggot? How do you think this one thread on Yea Forums is going to change anything?
>this isn’t about selling personal info to advertisers. it is when this thing eventually becomes FREE for EVERYONE, it is already set up to beat Twitch and Steam
Dylan Cox
you know those captchas we have to solve every other shitpost? Those are run by GOOGLE. You've been cucking yourself for years and years now, if you've even been around for that long.
Isaac Powell
>Until electrons surpass the speed of light, vidya streaming is destined to fail. ftfy
Jordan Rogers
>beat Twitch
Remember when they tried to do that with YouTube Gaming? That’s the point. If it’s not ads they suck.
And besides Google vs Twitch is Google vs Amazon, I hope they kill each other quite frankly.
Aaron Johnson
I’ve had to switch over to Yandex and Duckduckgo recently, since Google has been blocking all the results I care about (reverse searching anime always results in “cartoon”, Google has been blocking streaming sites, etc). Duckduckgo honestly isn’t that bad.
Hunter Morales
>>succeed at anything other than Search what's youtube what's chrome what's android what's gmail I bet you use all of above
Nolan Brooks
Don’t underestimate the popularity of moviegames. RDR2 had intentional input delay to add weight and realism to the character’s movement. All they’d have to do is remove the intentional delay to account for stream delay.
Andrew Moore
I love how googles reverse image search is now just literally for robots. Why thank you for telling me the image I was looking for the source for is of a cartoon girl, I was so confused before google used their billion teraflop datacenter to analyze that information for me.
pretty obvious if they are planning on competing they they gonna be moneyhatting the shit out of devs like Epic's doing to Steam but at a much bigger scale.
Adrian Stewart
Didnt google just straight up stop Google+ services because nobody bothered to use the fucking thing? What the fuck do they hope to do with a game console?
Google openly an brazinly tells people they manipulate their search engine to make societal changes they want, people and governments are okay with this, they can get away with that.
it's like an evil corporation in a goofy thriller movie, but real.
Lets say these things do happen, do you really think Sony and Nintendo will just go about their business as usual? If Google manages to shake enough trees we might actually get something decent out of this.
Daniel Anderson
Look at pictures from Google’s SJW walkout a month or two ago and you’ll see why you can’t use that site to find pictures of hot chicks anymore.
Bentley Jackson
>They can literally ruin gaming Too late, already there.
>unprofitable shit alive What is Google+? What is Google Spaces? What is Picasa? What is Google Newspaper Archive? What is Google's ownership of Motorola Mobility?
Nathaniel Flores
woah shit
Jonathan Price
While we may be cold and jaded, the average pleb isn't. Reminder that people fucking but a new Assassin's creed every year. People bought anthem, fallout 76, and no man's sky. Those latter games only failed because they were spectacularly terrible. All Google has to do is make something mediocre and shill the fuck out of it, and they'll be successful and kill gaming as we know it.
Liam Morris
there is nothing as cancerous in this world as a "based" poster
Carter Wood
>always online
They'll also charge a monthly fee won't they?
Anthony Young
Cringe and bluepilled
Easton Bailey
Google+ is exactly that. Even though it gonna shut down soon, it stayed alive much longer than it should have.
Xavier Morgan
>what's youtube acquired by google when it was at the top, not made by them, more like brought down by them.
>what's chrome a currently obsolete botnet infested browser, steadily declining userbase as most just return to Firefox
>what's android A phone/tablet OS that's only noteworthy competitors are Apple and Microsoft, both are notoriously shit so Android can beat them with no effort
>what's gmail just a fucking email service, you literally can't fuck this up
Austin Anderson
Mind you this is a HUGE project for Google. This isn't something they gave 50 devs to work on to keep them busy and possibly win big if it takes off. Google poured a lot of money into this, probably more than all of those combined. They're in this for the long run.
Ryan Davis
Google owns Mozilla who owns Firefox, though
Brandon Collins
Does their entire business model consist on throwing shit at a wall and see what sticks?
Adam Ross
>Google owns Mozilla They don't
Samuel Powell
>thinking google has anything to do with firefox ehloehl
Robert Cox
No, their business model consists of collecting and analyzing data and selling ads. They use that money to subsidize throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks.
Sebastian Watson
they do.
Jackson James
>Google can buy any IP that Nintendo doesn't hold OH BOY!
Dominic Watson
No they don't retard. Google bribed them so that they would make Google the default SE for Mozilla but that's it.
Parker Diaz
you're delusional if you don't think Google/Alphabet aren't balls deep in Mozilla's womb at this point
Ryan Young
I think colorful cyberpunk fiction is propaganda funded by big corporations to distract from the fact that we are already living in one.
If things get too bad we can always for a terrorist organization and blow up google server farms.
Carter Lee
They only need one or two exclusives to pop off (considering that their service doesn't really have an upfront fee like a console does).
Justin Powell
You're gonna have to back up your claims buddy. I know they use some Google stuff (like safe browsing or whatever this shit is called, it can be disabled anyways) but that doesn't equate to ownership.
Brayden Russell
Not saying you’re wrong but go back and read articles about Google+. They said it was the biggest thing they ever did and we’re changing the entire company around to accommodate it. And after a year or two of padding stats by counting Youtube comments as Google+ posts they gave up and started the slow death.
Microsoft stuck with the Xbox even though it was an unbelievable money sink but Google never has done anything close to that and I doubt they will here.
Nolan Murphy
Moot did, he works at some super secret project over there right now.
depends, do you have cyan or pink pineapple-hairstyle, thick rimmed eyeglasses and a neckbeard? do you drink soi or are you a militant vegan/vegetarist? are you a skinny-fat with tattoos? do you identify as anything else than just male or female?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions, congrats! you're suited for working at google!
Nolan Sanders
who cares fuck video games
Angel Nelson
This is moot's revenge for all the trouble he had with 4chins
Gavin Ward
>in the worst case scenario google will become the new old nintendo.
Tyler Thompson
I've tried bing and it was hilariously bad.
Brandon Anderson
Moeny isn't equal to successful product. Just think about how many failed experiments google has done during the last ten years.
Adrian Sullivan
ok and how does this compare to any other business? and a lot of that stuff has been replaced with something but named differently.
Jose Carter
oh shit
Jackson Anderson
Google had an unexpected problem where majority of ISP contracted with a city refused to allow them to use existing infrastructure for the Fiber. So Google would have to build their own tunnels and poles in a lot of areas which would become a nightmare
Blame politics and lobbyists for Fiber not widespread
Brandon Long
Google sure are a whiny bitch, Riot Games have been doing this way before Google has.
Alexander Cox
>google notifier I'm still pissed. 5 years on, and they killed the only useful fucking thing they ever created.
It cost them, what, 2 dollars to keep up to date every fucking year? But nope, we can't have nice things.
Jaxson Peterson
I don't think they want or need exclusives. There is no real barrier to entry (like the price of a PS4) for playing Stadia games, so there is no need for them to try to lure people into using it with exclusives. The whole appeal is the convenience of it
Michael Bailey
best part is trying to find ANY rule34 or any hits on a 2d image and it always comes back as "Cartoon" >Ben 10 on the right
Connor Ross
This. Google is irredeemably bad at anything that doesn't involve big data processing. They think because they're the best at that they can be the best at anything they want if they hire good programmers. It's going to be a failure worse than the tortanic, 76 and anthem combined.
Owen Harris
I'd be more worried if they made a real console which could actually play games
Carson Reed
this is not different than "shit game is popular for reasons" just enjoy seeing the killing theres nothing else to do
Julian Murphy
that was different because there already was a facebook when they tried that. There is nothing like Stadia out already except maybe PSNow
Cooper Lewis
They used existing fiber in the ground. They weren’t C&D and I think Riot did it in one city. Plus they are self reporting their success, not from other firms
Austin Campbell
OP is right. Even if it's a fucking failure they'll keep endlessly pouring millions into it.
