Re: the stadia excitement thread
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.RIP Syndrome wrote: ↑Mon Nov 18, 2019 1:07 pmWait why is this gaming related thread not in games

Comcast has a history of being asses over bandwidth and garbage level customer service but I’m sure they’ll let me play nwith this streaming device without charging me out the ass if I ask them nicely /s

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?Perrydotto wrote: ↑Sun Nov 17, 2019 2:14 pmGoogle knows how diabolical ISPs in the US are from their own dealings with Google Fiber
how can they actually say or believe this

Re: the stadia excitement thread
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 elseDaikatunaRevengeance wrote: ↑Mon Nov 18, 2019 4:06 pmi watched giant bomb play it, jeff's conclusion in the end was basically "seems to work" *shrug*

stadia isn't an actual gaming platform worth taking seriously. it's a massive jokeRIP Syndrome wrote: ↑Mon Nov 18, 2019 1:07 pmWait why is this gaming related thread not in games

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

Re: the stadia excitement thread
not now. not today. not even tomorrow or the day after. but one day, when you least expect it. one of your threads, that you've spent so much effort on, will be overtaken by the RICK AND MORTY A HUNDRED YEARS DOT COM crew and there is nothing and no one that can or will save you. mark my fucking words.

Re: the stadia excitement thread
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.

Re: the stadia excitement thread
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...
