Looks dumb and stupid. So par for the course for the last decade or so of Google products.

Why are these dumb tech companies convinced that just because music and movies thrive on streaming platforms that video games are poised to thrive in a similarly formatted environment as well? Music and movies are very very different from video games in both a technical and usage context.

Why does this exist again? Not even being snarky, months and months of information and I'm still not sure what it is Google is actually selling.

Civilized Fishbot posted:Given that you still have to buy the games, it seems more like netflix for graphics processing, right? The pitch is "don't get a good graphics card, outsource it to us" the way netflix is "don't buy dvds, outsource it to us." $10/mo to rent access to a graphics card at some google data center. You know, marketing this as a turbo-powered gaming PC you can access and play from any device might have actually worked as opposed to whatever "game streaming!!!" nonsense they're trying to peddle as of now.

Fallom posted:No joke, I was in Gamestop the other day swapping out my old Switch for the new model and a lady came in looking to buy a Wii for her son. She went searching for games only to find out from the clerk that she had picked out a bunch of Wii U ones. I didn't pay the idea that the Wii U name would be so confusing much mind when it came out assuming that people would be able to tell the difference and it's still astounding how utterly wrong I and a lot of other similarly-minded people were. For a really huge group of people, the Switch is the Wii successor, it just came about 5 years late for whatever reason.

hostile apostle posted:No doubt it's gonna take at least 3 years for any AAA first party content. Google is building something for the future - it's not just about today and they have the resources to make the investment upfront. Wait, what's the last thing Google ever built that was designed "for the future"? It's search engine aka the very first thing? Cause in case you weren't aware, that is not how they roll in 2019. Or 2009 for that matther.

hostile apostle posted:Free to play games find a way to operate (very) profitably despite that most users don't pay, right? Payers (subs) subsidize the non-payers (ala cart). F2P games are subsidized by addicts. I'm not seeing the addictive quality in Stadia that would lead to a similar thing happening.

Richard M Nixon posted:I just pre ordered yesterday. I finally got the premise for Stadia. I was thinking that it was just another 'console' or a way to sell games to the apparently huge audience that doesn't own a desktop pc. It clicked with me that the power is in the potential.

Consumer VR was and still is riding the wave of massive hype from a couple years ago, it's basically just kind of a thing that exists at this point without any real sort of mainstream traction. Much like Stadia will be in a few years, assuming Google hasn't already killed it.

Tetrabor posted:VR isn't dead because it's not even alive yet. Very few people know what a Quest or a Vive is compared to the legions of Xbox and PlayStation owners. That's a good point, and it's a good thing that Google has an already developed platform for VR experiences that they could easily integrate into their Stadia platform to make that kind of integration smoother and more accessible to the consumer. Oh, wait...

pixaal posted:They could have a time machine and run computers from 2044 that will not change the fact that the network connection is poo poo, what sends the player input to the server and then the game output to the player, will still be 2019 and completely unmaintained and run like poo poo. There's also the question of how exactly Google is going to pay for these supposed expansions and constant refreshes of their server hardware. There's a lot being said about how you "don't have to spend money to upgrade your PC" but the cost is going to be passed onto the consumer one way or another, and a piddly $10/month subscription+residuals from 60$ game sales are not going to cut it.

VR will never be "there yet" until headsets are no longer a required formfactor, so good luck with that I guess.

I would enjoy Google taking full control of the world's computing since that would mean they assume all the energy and maintenance costs associated with such. As well as all the legal liability when things go wrong. I swear I'd say all these fools have their head in the clouds but that's way too on the nose.
