Is this the future of vidya? Better yet, since this Netflix-esque streaming service seems likely the inevitable path for games, will you continue with this hobby?

>Bandwidth
It's latency that's the problem.

latency btw lmao
hope your neighbor is a data center

Australian?

>>you cant play games if you arent connected to the internet

Does Steam still require an internet connection to set it into offline mode? That was kinda useless if you internet suddenly went down.

>worse value
>flimsier idea of ownership
>solely benefits rich publishers and not developers or customers

Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and say fuck that and keep playing PC games.

You need to have had prepped them to play in offline mode.

Stadia is literally a catalyst for most publishers to go the subscription/streaming route. Google has enough influence on the market now that it has entered gaming

>have 92mbps
>psn barely works
Hope this does.

Nope. Not for ages, user.

So? I don't even buy AAA gamers anymore, user.

I pay about $60 a month for gigabit internet. Where are you third world country anons getting internet from

Your whole online library of even those old and smaller games under the these publishers will be taken from you, kinda like what Disney is doing with its streaming platform. They'll put games you already paid for on the vault

Cool, then I'll stop buying games completely and just pirate them.

Instead of building expensive data centers Microsoft and Sony should let you set up your xbox/PS to allow other people to stream from it.
So you leave your console plugged in during the day or whatever with X games installed on it, if someone wants to stream a particular game that you have installed, and you have a decent internet connection it streams it from your console and deposites 25 cents into your account.
It would be an opt in thing. Latency would be minor since it would always pick the closest one to you. Maybe even someone using the same ISP in your town. All the benefits of the system Google is trying to build without any of the infrastructure.

>need a $200/month internet connection to play vidya at a sufficient bandwidth
why do people lie to try and shit on Stadia?
You only need 20mbit.
I have faster internet than that and I live in fucking Australia.

I pay 60 bucks for gigabit.

This is actually pretty clever.

At some point they'll become online only, as in all the files are on the company servers with no way of pirating them

If you ever played the game once, then you don't need to.

It won't be the future as much as you think. Inevitably piracy will fix things. And I doubt GOG will bend to that, with their whole marketing shtick.

That is clever except for the part where you're paying 25 scents to someone that isn't Microsoft or Sony. THEY NEED ALL THE MONEY!

>then I'll stop buying games completely and just pirate them
Why do you think they're pushing streaming so hard? Good luck pirating when all the game files are in Google's data center.

>renting cheap games bad
>buying overpriced games good

>Australian thinks stadia will be a seamless experience for him

Kek. Disaster incoming.

That’s a good idea, but fuck you’re electricity bill is gonna go through the roof, plus having a console run for that long is probably gonna kill it faster.

Nothing that comes out on this service will be worth pirating and there are enough video games to last you a life time.

>not owning your own games bad
>paying $20 a month to Ubisoft to replay old SC games since all they already took down all offline copies of the games good
