The "I only have limited" time poo poo is absolutely bonkers if you are someone who actually has limited time to game. I have a job, a baby, and plenty of other poo poo to do besides gaming, it's hard to think of something LESS suitable for my limited time: - Extremely limited library, with worse prices than almost any other platform. - Highly dependent on a good connection, which may be entirely out of my control. Plus dependent on a home networking setup that I truly cannot be arsed to effort into. Mediocre WiFi is good enough for basically everything else. - No actual ability to suspend. Even if the above weren't the case, this is quite literally a deal breaker. Hell, if anything it's even worse than before widespread suspend ability, because it will probably kill your session even if it's just left paused. - Despite their marketing it is not actually "play anywhere" in any sense that counts. A Switch is play anywhere.

On June 3rd, we will be changing our current Stadia Pro offer from two free months to one free month for new users. Anyone who signs up for Stadia on or after June 3rd will receive one free month of Stadia Pro. So if you haven’t already signed up, head over to Stadia.com prior to June 3rd to claim your two free months! lol

5 months agoStadia has made gaming hardware irrelevant and obsolete and the luddites are mad about it posted:Lots of theories have been thrown around as to the hate Stadia has gotten since it's first official announcement months ago. quote:Really, because the presentations from the next-gen console platform makers hasn't exactly impressed anyone. In these trying times, when you put Stadia against any of the competition, it comes out on top. quote:Just like the next-gen consoles, those games don't bring anything new to the table. Valhalla is coming to Stadia, so at least I'd be able to play it on any device and screen that I own. That's the bare minimum to get me excited about any game or gaming console these days. Otherwise, it's the same old rehashed nonsense. Convince me on why I should spend $600 on an ugly box to play any of these games. If a game isn't coming to Stadia, it's stuck in the past as far as I'm concerned. Console gaming is obsolete to me. It's like trying to get me excited about DVD players. It ain't happening.

I used to enjoy games like X, Y and Z (pick from attached list A). However then life happened (add your own details) and I became unable to game. When I did try gaming I was bestruck by UPDATES. Now I'm trying stadia, I really enjoy X and my spouse loves Y (pick from attached list B). I did have a problem with (insert shortcoming that can easily be fixed with update) but I can no longer imagine spending $500 on a console (be vague!). I'm also looking forward to Cyberpunk.

Not having the time to play games with 3 kids is a thing but I just played the entirety of Nioh 2 in less than a month (A game not appearing on Stadia) while kids were asleep. Our summer holiday starts in July so I'm planning to get FFVII remake for that (Also not appearing on Stadia)

Ngl I'd love it if Stadia or GFN actually took off and worked great. The idea of it is awesome its googles execution which misses the mark. Also I think I asked this before but I don't remember anyone saying one way or the other. If I am subscribed to pro and I buy a game I get 4k but if my pro sub lapses I can still play the game just not at 4k with 5.1 right?

You might not get 5.1 surround even with Pro. Stadia uses uncompressed PCM for surround, which some receivers don't support. It's a lovely way to do surround (especially when it's being streamed along with a loving game) but I'm guessing it's because Google doesn't want to pay licensing fees to Dolby and/or DTS. Or maybe there's not a fast enough way to compress and stream audio over the internet on the fly? I've seen quite a few complaints from people on r/stadia from people who paid for Pro solely to be able to play with surround sound, only for Stadia to stream them something unusable. The complaints always receive crickets in response, so I'm guessing those people are out of luck.

I absolutely love digging through my games' files looking at art assets, finding music stored as mp3s or ogg files, installing or even making mods. None of that is even remotely possible with a streaming service, and it would be really horrible if that went away forever.

None of that is even remotely possible with a streaming service, and it would be really horrible if that went away forever. With Stadia you are right but with GFN it doesn’t change that. I’d personally like a streaming service that worked along side my current library that wasn’t getting hosed over by publishers.

# ? May 23, 2020 13:27 |

it should be extremely telling that GFN offering a service where you simply play games you have already paid for and own is resulting in publishers changing their terms of use to explicitly bar it, and what that implies for the concept of game streaming in the future rather than an idealised version of what could be offered. in an ideal perfect world there would be no problem with game streaming. in actual reality any move towards streaming of games becoming popular and widely used will be used to offer less, charge more, and allow people less access and freedom of use which is a negative both to individual users and games as a whole.

Or maybe there's not a fast enough way to compress and stream audio over the internet on the fly? Oh wow. Wooooooow. That's nuts! Dolby AC3 and DTS are both ancient formats designed to for 90s tech. You can encode them on a modern CPU basically for free. A quick test of ffmpeg shows it encoding AC3 at 400-500x, so doing 1x real-time encoding would take less than 1% of a CPU. DTS is probably heavier but you get the point. And just using AC3 would be plenty good enough, games are not known for their subtle sound qualities. Also lol at streaming uncompressed audio, 6 channels of 48khz PCM is 2 gigabytes per hour. Even Tidal isn't that dumb.
