They kind of scare me. I like the current Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft dynamic in 5 years it will just be Google

Funny thing is, google actually has the money to sink into exclusives and an actually tempting game pass, but instead they realesse some super expensive, half ass controller with streaming and full priced online only games that you can’t mod of crack. You have to wonder if they’ve got some ivory tower syndrome where they genuinely are completely out of touch with what the average person wants.

Y'know Google's literally falling apart at the seams and they only really still exist because they get a shitload of government money and have an essential monopoly on mobile phones, right?

Maybe I’ll switch to that. Where as Bing seems like the lesser of two evils, using a Microsoft search engine still makes me uncomfortable.

I don't remember Glass honestly, but + was annoying. All I remember is it was some kind of Facebook-wannabe that took up unnecessary space even on phones running pure Android with no carrier bloatware. Oh, and you couldn't delete it unless you rooted your phone, at least not before Google pulled the plug on it.

They are the 2nd most profitable company behind apple. They literally had a profit of $30 billion in 2018. google will never die

>Google
Half of Google's services/products are disconnected. Theres an entire Wikipedia page for it.

duckduckgo, bro. shit's nice

Google is not even in the same league with the likes of Microsoft, IBM, SAP etc.
Ye, they are huge and they have TONS of data which will be very useful for the upcoming age of AI but they will never be as big as the big boys.
They will always be the biggest in their niche tho - search engine, data mining and Android

Remember when you needed + to have a Youtube account?

Oh, yeah. Good riddance.

That's what they said about Lehman Brothers

Okay, but are you aware of what percentage of that is scraping the shit off the top of gacha bullshit on their mobile OS, or shit, just LICENSING the usage of their OS in full to people?

They killed Youtube Gaming!? I could have sworn I've seen an option to enter it within the past few months (not that I'm sad or anything).

They can't destroy Nintendo because they will never have their games, so yeah if PS4 and Xbone go away there's not much loss anyway, we will still have PCs.

this. stadia will be DOA. sony and ms are preparing stadia competitors for next gen.

I'm scared too. Scared I might have to go to the hospital from blowing out my sides laughing when this thing crashes and burns, just like everything else Google tries that isn't search engines or smartphone OSes.

They will buy Nintendo

Kek, no.

This.

Google will drop Stadia in a year or two tops just like they dropped everything else they've ever done.

Google picked a pretty terrible time to get into the console industry

This, I don't trust them to support any of their projects if they don't explode in popularity immediately.

Nintendo once rejected a 25 billion dollar offer from Microsoft because they didn't agree with their views about the industry.
There's not enough money in the world to get them to play ball with Google.

>please look at the Wii U gamepad

What's wrong with monopolies? At least there'll be no more console wars and Yea Forums will be bearable again.

you're starting to wake up, goyim. now type "white couple" into google image search and your initiation will be complete.

>streaming games
>in order for that to work people need to have the required connections
>the only places where most have those are Japan/Korea/California
>even if you fulfill all requirements the thing is still packed with latency issues

That's what you get when you give a bunch of fresh college tech graduates the task to develop a product for "THE FUTURE"

All they can do is copy Netflix without realizing how much of a drain game streaming actually is. They couldn't even get that thing right when they presented it. No matter how much companies love the idea - It's won't be a thing.

STADIA

So what you're saying is that we need a new Yea Forums approved search engine?

What do you recommend Yea Forums? I might as well switch browsers too.

Hi google employee reading this. you're why I'm considering this.

Not to mention, if you live in a place like Korea or Japan with good internet infrastructure, why not just get a computer and reduce lag by not needing another medium.

>in 5 years it will just be Google
Do you actually think Stadia is going to do something other than flounder and die?

Korea is more into PC gaming.
Japan is into mobile gaming.

Both couldn't care less about Stadia or Google.
This thing only exists because tech babies tested it in their silicon valley bubble.

Duckduckgo is pretty nice

DuckDuckGo is about as good as it gets these days

startpage and nothing else

I still use chrome and gmail, any suggestions on what to use instead?

>without exception
YouTube is pretty based IMHO.

Didn’t fucking Moot have a hand in +? Kek

Good. If you don't like the free market then fuck off back to Resetera SJW tranny.

Google just bought Youtube, they didn't create it themselves

Even beyond that, youtube is fucking garbage as a video host and people only tolerate it because of the immense backlog of videos.

Remember the old days? We’ve been alive too long

Youtube is unironically the only streaming site I never have buffering issues with

What browsers would you guys recommend?

More like the ONLY video site that available. Google has made countless bad decisions for Youtube and they never get punished for it since there is no competition for video services.

not with stadia they wont

Brave

I just knew that reply was coming.
>implying YouTube isn't "Google-related"
You are shifting goal-posts there.

I mean there’s always been sites like vimeo and shit but google’s never let any of those take any hold at all

>shifting goal-posts there.
??? what goalposts did I even establish retard? I just pointing out a fact.

>Google
>Good at anything that is not gathering data
Even their search engine is shit these days

From "Google-related" to "created by Google themselves".

Did they?
Haven't bought/played anything from them in 20 years.

They really didn't, mostly they only still exist off of Euro welfare because they shit out fifa games every year
