Lol at fanboys saying that it wasn't marketed at 4k and 60fps when those were put on huge emphasis twice (three times?) as a paid and designed live action commercial during the video game awards!

Yep this tweet right here https://twitter.com/MrPhilHarrison/status/1181739544783097858 "All games at launch support 4K". Launch title RDR2 runs at 1440p, upscaled to 4k for the stream. And then there's this deleted tweet:

Wait, is Stadia only for the people who live in their mother's basement? I think it's time for that poster to get a place of his own. He's starting to go a little stir-crazy.

A reminder that Google, a company which has an effective monopoly in the advertising technology space outside of China, is just now creating their first data management platforms for advertising clients while Adobe and Microsoft have been doing it for years. Why would you ever think theyd be anything less than a day late and a feature short on products outside their wheelhouse

Stadia is for exactly two groups of people: 1 - People with active paid-for monthly print subscriptions to T3 Magazine and its ilk of 'enthusiast' broad spectrum consumer tech and who used to own a Sony CLIÉ electronic personal organizer and would demo it to any gathering of friends, family or workmates at the drop of a full brimmed hat. 2 - Brazillians who will gladly play a slideshow version of a AAA game as long as they don't have to pay a 400% import duty on hardware and who don't have on the near horizon a cousin combing back from a trip to disney world with 5 grey market consoles and 5 4K televisions in their luggage. Anyone aside from those two exact groups will never want anything to do with 2019's incarnation of the DOA GFWL service where its grave is already dug at launch. With the bad news getting turned out daily: quote:In early 2018, top executives at Alphabet debated whether the company should leave the public cloud business, but eventually set a goal of becoming a top-two player by 2023, according to a report from The Information on Tuesday. From a report: If the company fails to achieve this goal, some staffers reportedly believe that Alphabet could withdraw from the market completely.

If that was the attitude at Microsoft we wouldn't have had the XBox 360, but instead they had Steve Ballmer and he decided "we have deep pockets and we are going to win" . Company founders have the stamina for a long fight that shareholders never will. Mind you it cost them elsewhere in the consumer space (like never getting phones right for over ten years). But lol just lol if you think Larry and Sergey care about cloud gaming. They were checked out years before their recent exit and Pichai nearly took them back into China knowing it would threaten their trade secrets.

Just scrolling that Stadia sub-reddit is great right now, going bottom to top it's there's a hilarious line of posts going from "who wants to come around and play BL3!" that evolves into "Why can't I get local co-op to work?" then finally "Announcement: Borderlands 3 does not support local co-op on Stadia"

No local coop? That can't be right. Surely all those teraflops could handle a little bit of local coop.quote:Available December 18, Ghost Recon Breakpoint for Stadia includes Stream Connect, a feature that makes team coordination in Ghost Recon Breakpoint much easier thanks to the fact that you see what your teammates see by streaming multiple viewpoints into a single screen.

Okay, so they feature-locked the Stadia version back in late October but it still took 7+ weeks beyond all that work to get it up and running on the servers, barely making the end of the 2019 deadline promise they'd made to Google. Ironically, some of that patch content is seasonal Halloween stuff which is now unavailable to Stadia players, since it ended December 5th. Maybe next year. At least they can get the current holiday event which is just a bunch of Shift codes you claim each day for stuff. That is, if it works.  Also LOL at them selling the expensive Super Deluxe version that includes the season pass, when the first new DLC campaign launches on all platforms this week except Stadia.

Funnily enough, Bing gets it right That Ghost Recon Breakpoint feature is a neat addition, I can't think of an easy way to do it without game streaming or worse local performance. Too bad Breakpoint's terrible, but it's nice that someone's trying.

There are a couple of cloud-rental games available on the eShop in Japan (Resident Evil 7 and Assassin's Creed Odyssey, specifically) but these appear to be hosted by a Taiwan-based service called Ubitus GameCloud.

Video games is $4 billion a quarter for microsoft's revenue. Cloud computing is already twice that. MS as a company operates at an entire order of magnitude higher than Sony. Fundamentally, it does not matter to MS as a whole whether they win the next generation of console wars. What does matter to them is competing against Amazon for the cloud market. Microsoft would quite literally set their entire video games business on fire if they knew it would make them dominant in cloud computing 5 years from now.

Microsofts Cloud division returns double the revenue of Googles entire non-advertising business. As noted above Microsoft would absolutely execute the entire gaming division if it took out amazon.

And I'm going to have to disagree with you. Google is a marketing company that remembers being a tech company and still pretends to be one. And it's pretty close to being a marketing monopoly.

lol, Borderlands 3 on Stadia doesn't even have local co-op, so people are playing on separate screens in the same room by buying two copies of the game and using double the internet bandwidth. That's for two people. Imagine if four people in the same room want to play. Stadia is SO MUCH CHEAPER than just buying a console!
