Now that the dust has settled, what are you unironic thoughts? It has support from developers, and the price point is better than any other platform. It appears that latency is the only barrier of entry, now, but that won't be an issue for you, right?

A neat novelty that has far more negative connotations on the greater industry than positive ones.
Nathaniel Turner
It's retarded.
People with decent internet connections can also afford offline games.
People with bad internet connections will straight up never use it.
This is going to fail harder than Fallout 76.
Anthony Mitchell
normies will keep this alive (in 20 years)
Christopher Reed
Google has never made a successful product.
Mason Miller
If it succeeds it's the end of video games.
William Hughes
My thoughts are: NEVER EVER.
Seriously, I'll never buy into streaming as long as I live, even if it means playing nothing but indie games on GOG. I'm not going to voluntarily give up my right to accessing the game files of a game I've purchased. This is unironically the industry's next "horse armor" moment. It may seem harmless at first, but if we open this door, it will lead bad, bad places.

What’s with the jannies today?
Andrew Peterson
People love bringing up Netflix as a defense. But playing a vidya is different from watching a movie.
Jonathan Edwards
Its Homosexual Awareness Month and the jannies are remind you of what that means.
Oliver Davis
Also you don't have to individually buy films from Netflix.
Isaiah Baker
I think it's gonna flop. Something about the way their presenting it doesnt really make it mainstream user friendly, and it's cloudy enough to turn off savvy gamers. They should have partnered with Fortnite or some other uber popular shit to get more normie hype. It would be really cool if the tech actually worked and there would be no interruptions or lag but it's unlikely. Hell the actual stream had lag, if they cant handle basic video streaming, how will they handle back and forth input from player to game and 4k streaming?
Carter Martinez
Not to many, personally know several people who go trough a game once or twice and shelve them until they want to trade it back for nowhere near the price it was bought at.
Daniel Smith
If the "pro" subscription gave you access to a huge library of games to just play Netflix-style then I could see the mainstream keeping it somewhat alive at least.
As it is it's just another fucking store that Google has full control over and you'll probably lose all those games when the service fails.
Parker Mitchell
It's going to be dead in a couple years
Dylan Sanders
its good, gonna buy it.
i dont really care about /v`'s paranoia about made up things that will never happen.
my internet is decent enough, 4k wont be able though
Xavier Reyes
That part’s the same, but the latency is the real issue. No one cares if a movie starts a half-second after you press the play button, but it’s totally different in a video game.
Gabriel Gray
It’s gonna go the way of google glass. No one will remember it by 2020.
Brayden Cook
they need free trials
Alexander Moore
The concept of Stadia isn't horrible, as much as I hate the idea of a digital only/streaming only game world.
It's just that the technology isn't there for this to work well, and it's being done by a company that is notorious for ditching ventures that aren't an immediate success.
William Nelson
you can NOT play sekiro on that
Leo Hill
>People experience the shitty feel of latency for free
>Don't bother paying for it
Brandon Evans
On one hand, it's an issue if it succeeds and becomes the new normal state of games.
On the other hand if any company was gonna make the cloud gaming concept work it'd have to be Google, and the Stadia controller connecting directly to their servers as opposed to passing through the computer could do a lot for latency.
Cooper Smith
>But playing a vidya is different from watching a movie.
I mean you're right but also some of these modern video games aren't that much different.
Bentley Gonzalez
>as much as I hate the idea of a digital only/streaming only game world.
it wont happen, since its to invoncinient for allready eixsting cindustrys.
it will be like psnow, spotify, netflix etc.
its just gotta be an option more you have, no complete replacement.
for the technic part, im not sure myself, but i think it CAN work
Owen Howard
>Update
Yeah it CAN work in theory but none of the countries its launching in will be able to. The internet speeds won't be there.
Not to mention ISPs will throttle data limits once they notice the surge in data usage.
Gabriel Murphy
>Stadia controller connecting directly to their servers as opposed to passing through the computer could do a lot for latency.
That won't do shit when you get 200ms from the streaming
Noah James
i dont think so, even in germany i can get fiber connection without data limit.
i just think the pricing of 10€ monthly is kind of unrealistic for what they attempt to do
Noah Peterson
It's literally impossible for your internet to be decent enough but have fun wasting your money.
Hunter Morris
ye, i dont think so.
im pretty fine with a latency of 0,5-0,8
thats about the same latency modern ps4 offline games have. the latency migh even be better with my fiber connection. also i dont think even if it wont work like that the money is that much of a waste.
the real waste the 300€ ive spent on my ps4, which is dusting since years
Andrew Carter
>psnow works
>somehow stadia wont work
i wonder about that.
Ethan Cooper
lol they couldn't even get this shit right when they were demonstrating this with their data centre literally right next door.
Robert Watson
>there is some latency on a console
>there is 0 latency on the server
hmm
