Is stadia just the natural end of video games, you don’t own the console, the game, the connection, any of the data. Have to pay for a console fee, a publisher fee, a gamer connection fee, the dlc/preorder fee. And loot boxes if you don’t want to fall behind.
Why does this have to happen, I already know it’s gonna be mega successful, are gamers just the weakest willed people?
Take the indiepill user
Leave stupid bullshit behind and play itchio and gamejolt games
>are gamers just the weakest willed people?
The wouldn't be gamers otherwise.
Latency will kill it. Especially for multiplayer games.
It won't be popular among anyone who isn't a complete and utter casual.
>complete and utter casual
So most gamers?
I took the indie pill a while ago I just wish they still had huge mega games I could get excited about as a celebration of potential, resources and talent took place.
Indies are as stagnant as the dead sea. There's no innovation there.
Then look for the remaining AA devs left, they can release big games sometimes
Im still more interested in a quick indie romp through a mediocre platformer than an awful AAA games with microtransactions out the ass
There's nothing actually wrong with it, I'll go through the criticisms logically in every way
>you don't own your games!
I think it's safe to say you'll own them in a playable state much longer than with the normal consoles where remasters are such a huge thing.
>You need the internet!
Fortnite, apex, pubg, cod, GTA, FIFA. The 6 biggest games are all multiplayer
>You can't play your games without paying!
Already the case with the PS4 and Xbox. Gotta buy multilayer pass on either to play anything popular (with the exception of a few f2p on PS4)
>it's expensive
It's the same price as buying 1 month ps plus cards, and ofc you have to actually buy the console to play games with the PS4.
Have sex
It’s everything casuals love about gaming, it’s gonna print money no one cares about the “gamers” anymore since they are viewed as worse then the worst hate groups now
Stadia is DOA like every other Google tech project and anyone who believes otherwise is either uneducated retard or a shill.
>I already know it’s gonna be mega successful
What the fuck makes you think that, do you realize how many things Google fails at? It's going to have a year or two of support, maybe three, then every Stadia will be a fucking paperweight when Google ends the service.
Casual players drop games way faster, if they notice their SP game starts lagging, they will not hesitate to completely stop playing.
>WAHHHHH U DONT OWN THE GAME
>*has a steam account and doesnt see the irony*
Stadia will fail because artifacts, compression, and delayed input are still a thing. Google has the money, but with the current technology streaming games will always feel off and inferior.
Blame piracy.
Games on Steam last way longer than anything else at the moment.
1. Not true and if they cancel the game there is no way to get it back
2. I don’t play multiplayer
3. True
4. Having to pay a fee or losing access to my single player content is beyond ridiculous
5. I forget which buzzword you are supposed to mindlessly repeat to this mindless insult. Dilate I think?
If you spout wrongthink while playing Stadia will Google be able to outright ban you from using it?
>pay monthly fee
>have to pay for the games, too
??? Dead in arrival. If it was a fee to play all games in its catalog like EA access it would be an instant success and would put steam and epic out of business. This is also how many people thought this would go down. A gaming flatrate to end all gaming Flatrates. But this?! Ahhahahhaha oh nononono the absolute STATE
baka beats everything
1) yeah the same thing gets said about games on Steam, at the end of the day the only thing which matters is if you will end up rebuying. This happens way, way less on the pc online stores than with the consoles. Games on stadia will likely last even longer cause they won't eventually get too old and difficult to run on modern operating systems
2) the vast majority of people do so this doesn't really matter
4) single player is such a small thing now there is basically no difference between having to pay to play any of your games and having to pay to play multiplayer. It's not just about you lol.
This, no one likes having unresponsive shit, people upgrade their phones for this reason most of the time, when they realize there's nothing they can do to fix it they'll move on.
IDK how many times you have to hear this, but Stadia isn't a threat to PC/console markets, it's a threat to mobile markets. Why play Grindware Premium when you could play an actual fucking videogame on your phone? It's going to be successful, because it's going to be taking a bite out of Candy Crush and Jerkoff Hentai Game #341, not deleting your steam account. If anything, it's taking mobile gaming money, and turning it into actual videogames.
How is this different from Xbox gold or PS4 online pass?
>it would be an instant success and would put steam and epic out of business
It wouldn't for exactly these reasons
Video games are already dead.
I guess it’s a neat step up from bad looking loot box shovel ware to AAA looking loot box shovel ware
NoNo. Its a step backward. People fought like fuck to tear the mainframe out of IBMs icy grip, now hipster retards want to give it all back. If you support stadia or any of that shit you are an enemy of mankind. TPTB would like nothing more than to take away the processors from the plebs. Dont fall for Googlish tricks.
They've stood up to really bad practices in the past, but the main problem is, they probably just don't care enough. "What ever, long as I can play and spend as little as possible without feeling like a pirate." probably being the thought process for some of them.
>you have to pay for the console, THEN pay for the substriction AND THEN pay for the game
>to have in every way an inferior experience
You are an idiot if you didn’t run when the first online drm check wasn’t met with anything but laughter
>Piracy dies off
>Practices get EVEN worse, because now you have no choice but pay or leave
>Try to complain
>Kek, we "need" all this money bros trust me, it's for the servers, just keep paying
>games you love shut down, can never play them again, no matter what
>some cry, but most don't so pulg ears and pretend like they're not there, not like they can prevent it
Good thing you can still buy games outside of "gameflix"
Stadia will be forgotten faster than the OUYA
It will fail just like the other streaming game services. Google can put a trillion bucks in on their end and it won't mean shit. The infrastructure isn't there for like 95% of users. It's like pumping out 8k content to an original Gameboy. Totally useless.
>Ey, buy a platform that can run 4k-8k videos, pay for a really good internet connection, for the subscription to our game streaming site and then buy the games you want to play, it's better than just jumping over step 3, because you can save up 1000$ ... well not really you'll more or less be giving us that and maybe more in subscribtion fees, but don't worry about that, just subscribe!
So this is the power of advanced capitalism.
At least Steam games can be downloaded, backed up locally and cracked. You don't get anything to work with for stream-games
Some games don't even need a crack, kenshi can be played without opening steam even. witcher games don't either if I recall right, some devs don't add all that stuff to their game, maybe out of kindness. Pretty based.
Why are all the consoles girls with bulges? Why steam instead of PC?
>Is stadia just the natural end of video games
no, only if because of one thing that can't work on stadia - competetive gaming/esports
You don't have to pay for your own internet again with Stadia, the fee is for some shitty "free" games and slightly better discounts.
Ps plus and stadia fees are both required to play games, but with the stadia the fee is all you have to pay but with the PS4 you've actually got to buy the console as well
the 1080p base version just requires you to buy a game, the subscription is for 4k
You never owned the game, you never owned the data, you never owned the connection. You owned the physical materials it was all made of and you were given a license to use it. You
Depends on your definition of ownership, because we sure as fuck HAD the game, we HAD the data. Valid license or not, we can still play those games without paying a fee or even if the people we got it from stopped supporting it entirely or even stopped existing.
This is complete FUD by the way, spread by corporations who don't want you to know the rights you have. Perpetual license is functionally the same as a purchase of a physical product.
Video games are dead already. Even if Stadia becomes popular it won't affect anything important.
the jew will always seek rent
Cant wait
>I think it's safe to say you'll own them in a playable state much longer than with the normal consoles where remasters are such a huge thing.
????? what the actual fuck do you mean by this? I can take my halo 3 disc from 2008 and still play it today, but I can't download a game I paid for because it's been removed from a storefront.
>Fortnite, apex, pubg, cod, GTA, FIFA. The 6 biggest games are all multiplayer
yep. and I can play them at 30 ping with my normal 40$ internet. for stadia not only do you need crazy fast internet that 80% of US doesn't have to be able to play in anything that isn't in shitty quality, but you also need it to be able to have minimal lag, which will still be incredibly noticable.
>Already the case with the PS4 and Xbox. Gotta buy multilayer pass on either to play anything popular
?? i don't pay for ps+ and yet... my games still work! that's right, I can just plop a game disc into the tray and *gasp* play the game I paid for without being forced to pay an additional fee!!!!
>It's the same price as buying 1 month ps plus cards, and ofc you have to actually buy the console to play games with the PS4.
it's like 12$ a month for 12 months + the special controller you basically need if you want minimal input lag that costs 80$ + a Chromecast ultra that costs 60$ if you want to be able to play on a TV of any resolution. so let's round it down to 280 for a year, not counting any game purchases. now I can go to my local GameStop and buy a PS4 slim for 200$ right now and, here's the best part, it won't lock me out of my games for not paying a good goy fee!
fuck off shill
