I have been using Shadow for a couple of months from my fast and stable gigabit FTTH connection. My ping to their servers is about 20 ms, and I have to make a conscious effort to notice any input lag. Some of you may argue my brain is slow. I can assure you it is not.

On the other hand, I got Stadia a couple of days ago, and although graphics work very well, input lag is unbearable. Some streaming users will experience input lag because their Internet connections cannot handle it, but that is not my case.

It's sad because I live in Dublin. Google has servers here. Shadow's servers are in the Netherlands. I'm very disappointed at the level of incompetence that Google displayed on this release. They have enough data centres, money and quality network connections to pull this off properly, yet they didn't. Shadow, a small French company streaming remote Windows PCs, did a much better job running standard Windows games that are not purposefully made to be streamed.
