The only way I'd consider Stadia to be remotely viable would be to release optional hardware that's literally a complete version of one of their single server instances that you can hook up your display and peripherals to directly. Basically release a console.
Of course some features that rely on the fact you're connected to all of the other instances directly wouldn't work offline, but for anything that's single player only shouldn't require a internet conection. Plus being able to buy multiple units and connect them together for either the crazy multiplayer or for games that need more power would be needed.
here's how to how to make stadia a success delay it 20 years and upgrade the entire world internet speeds the give up on it.
For starters
1. Fix atrocious input lag
2. Have Steam/Epic/GOG compatibility so I don't have to re-buy all my games
3. Have ROM compatibility so I can play all my old NES/SNES,Genesis/PSX-2-3 games
It needs to be cheaper and better than other services around aswell as offer a good selection of games.
GeForce Now is it's biggest competitor, however it still has latency issues and will be very expensive, if Stadia can beat that it could be viable
Amazing first-party games.
I am not a fan of digital only.
If they had some way to guarantee that i wont lose my games when they inevitably shut down the service i would try it, but as it is im not going to support a system that offer no other backup solution.
at least with steam and the like i can always pirate the games and/or save them to an external.
but because the stadia is streaming if they shut down youve just wasted money
>Fix input lag
So, basically the impossible. The fact of the matter is it's not possible even on a good connection to get a version of the image piped to you fast enough or at the picture quality enough to make a native local version the lesser option.
Youtube compression is known to be shit, and I'm always amazed at how much better games look when I start playing them on my machine compared to watching pre release footage before I get the game.
*knock knock*
Who's there?

...Stadia!
>Physical games and digital games
Keep forever, no internet required to play
>Streaming games
All rented, internet obviously required to play
What the fuck is wrong you to even consider streaming gaming a thing that we'd want? I could go into the finer details about latency, image and sound compression but I'm giving you straight up my beef with game streaming in a simple concise way. I don't have resemblance of ownership with game streaming and I do not want my game collection to be tied down with the internet.
What can't you obvious Californian PR marketers get it through your head that gaming isn't like music/movie industry? The Netflix of gaming, give me a joke. The typical casual gamer for this would rather spend their time playing a F2P mobile game than a rental fee for streaming games once or twice a month. And yes, you are a fucking Californian because it takes a special kind of stupid to be pro-DRM like Google Stadia is.
