I have seen a lot of Stadia bashing since they shut down their development studio. It’s annoying. Stadia is an awesome product and a very promising technology. It’s sad for that one game that everyone seems to worship, but has never played it, I can’t remember its title. I’m so tired of the hate trains, general saltiness and cancel culture on the internet. Long live stadia

Stadia is a good demo.

If you consider it as a product it's a failure.

And people are bashing Google, Stadia is just a proxy. Google is the one who fucked up here, so it's not like they don't deserve it.

People were saying that goolge will fuck it up, since Stadia was announced. Google super-duper-pinky-promised that this time its different. And now we have this crap.

How are people supposed to feel ?

Or should they be in awe since on paper its amazing ? Execution is what matters in the end.

I'm not sure how they fucked up, they have a good technology and their development studio wasn't doing too well, so they rationally stopped that part of the operation.

For a demo, it's pretty good, I use it everyday, I haven't been limited in my use. Actually, I could not play AAA games with my current set up, now I can, on whatever screen I want. Reading you, I'm not sure you've actually tried it. Also, it's cheap.

As for the bashing stadia as a proxy to bash google, that's exactly my point, people seems to gain satisfaction in bullying behind their keyboard, it's annoying. Google is not perfect, but their products are really good, get over yourself.

It isn't cancel culture to call out Google making poor decisions and not planning well and then doing what everyone was worried, vocally, they would do, which was pull the plug. Did you read the article? No one is canceling Google.

Not everything you dislike is cancel culture.

I for one can't wait for stadia to sink.

I play games on a PS5 and some PC games. I personally don’t want to play on Stadia — buying games at full price with no guarantee they don’t cancel the service isn’t enticing to me. I did try it out, and the Stadia Pro offering wasn’t bad at all. It was just a limited selection.

But I’m curiously why you actually want them to sink.

[approxim8ion]

I just don't want Google to have their fingers in so many pies. It's way too much power. I don't necessarily want game streaming as a concept to sink, although I have the same qualms as you do about ownership and so on. But the technology is interesting, as is the fact that it opens up avenues for gaming to people who would not have been able to earlier. But I don't want Google to succeed at it.
