Stadia is less of a gaming platform and more of a bandwidth-eating waste of money for anyone not a NYC or San Francisco resident who is all in on Google’s hardware platforms

Because no one's going to be doing any actual gaming on Stadia. It'll be impossible.

Google knows how diabolical ISPs in the US are from their own dealings with Google Fiber

how can they actually say or believe this
If they were actually using this to help expand Google Fiber into new markets, that'd be clever, but didn't they basically give up on that whole project a year or two ago?

for context, the main giant bomb offices are in San Francisco, so that's one of the places that's likely to have an actually good connection. by proximity to google if nothing else

stadia isn't an actual gaming platform worth taking seriously. it's a massive joke


oh sure, google wants it to be a big boy new platform with their WOW COOL BIG TECH behind it, but there's essentially two huge factors working against it:

a) the entire stadia business model is extremely anti-consumer horseshit, where you're expected to pay full price for games that you have zero ownership over, as when developers/publishers take the game down because of licenses or because it's not making them money, or whatever the fuck, that's the end of it. There's zero chance at preserving the game, and what you paid for would just be gone forever. Literally every other digital platform, so long as it's not a game that 100% requires the online servers that the developers run or whatnot, still allows you to keep and play the game as long as the game is not deleted from your system.

b) the astounding naivete on google's part in regards to both large scale access to acceptable enough high speed internet without major data caps, and the belief that ISPs would somehow be just willing to resolve that problem without any fuss or anything. The vast majority of the US market is largely carved out by companies that end up with a monopoly over providing internet in different regions of the country. It varies from region to region, but for most people, you're stuck with a given company who has zero incentive to actually improve their service because they're quite literally the only game in town (comcast). and as was mentioned earlier in the topic, google *should* genuinely know fucking better with their experiences with Google Fiber


Ultimately, it's a garbage service based on a pretty decent basic idea (video game streaming) that could have maybe worked with the right game plan and realistic expectations of how to make it work with existing internet types, but instead it was created by silicon valley types that have their heads jammed so far up their own asses and are getting extremely high on their own fumes and are way more interested in creating WOW, BIG NEW TECH without stopping to consider if it would realistically work the way they want it to or even be successful

My gut feeling is that Google pours cash into it at least through all of next year so that it doesn't look like an immediate flop, but when it fails to sell well during the 2020 holiday season it'll go on life support for a quarter or two and then get canceled.

irony is that at one point in time google was, themselves, trying to solve this problem with Google Fiber, but then they got distracted by something shiny I guess
Or maybe it turns out that building a nationwide fiber-optic network from scratch is really fucking expensive, like "the kind of thing maybe the government should do like when they built the interstate" expensive.
Every jumbled pile of person has a thinking part that wonders what the part that isn't thinking isn't thinking of...
