Back at GDC, Google demonstrated that Stadia games would be playable on Chromecasts, Chrome OS devices, and Pixel phones.

O shit, this is pretty big. Basically stadia is free on any device that runs chrome OS, you just download the app. The $60 chromecast is only required if your device doesn't have one built in, but lots of smart tvs these days have them.

So it's like, a free console. Again if they can get more developers behind it this will totally kill off xbox and playstation, which would be awesome because fuck those consoles. Unfortunately I doubt nintendo would ever put their games on this, and nintendo is really the only console developer these days that makes ok games.

I'm confused. What is your reasoning for supporting Google but hating on Microsoft and Sony? You realize all of them want to screw you over, don't you?

Stadia uses Linux therefore Stadia promotes games being made for Linux

Google has given us:
  • Google search engine
  • Gmail
  • Youtube
  • Maps
  • Drive
  • A full clone of microsoft office
  • Google AI (assistant etc..)
  • Translate
  • Earth
  • Hangouts
All totally free, immensely useful, usable on any OS, etc.. Android is the most open source of any mobile OS. A cheap chromecast lets you stream basically anything to anywhere.

Google gives so much great stuff. And most of it's free. Compare google to apple, microsoft, sony

Stadia servers use Linux which means the games themselves need Linux builds
Still, no thanks. The advances DXVK and others have made over the past year means playing Win32/Win64 games on Linux will eventually be very viable.

Games cant possibly be priced at full price on Stadia. No offline play, always on DRM, no mods, no physical copy, if they arent at a heavy discount most people wont buy... most sane people at least.

you're paying a play everywhere on any device without installation (as long as you have the Gb/s connection)

Even if I granted this point (which I don't, and no company is ever your friend anyway), it doesn't change the dynamics of the current situation. If my best friend who's a great guy bangs my wife, he still banged my wife. DRM already challenged the idea of ownership to a point I'm uncomfortable with, but this just throws it out the window. Add on top of that mouse control in an FPS with streaming latency, it's sort of a LOL in my head. That doesn't mean I doubt its chances though, as Netflix and whatnot have already shown the convenience and subscription format will entice people, as long as it feels playable with a controller, and there's nothing any of us can do about that. You're probably the "normal" one here, being excited about it. Oh well.

Look at all the edgy idiots who rate your post retard, disagree, sheeple etc etc, while using many of these services day to day for free and they are probably satisfied with them.

And Microsoft has given us Windows, which 99% of us use for gaming. Heil Microsoft.
You write this ironically, but it is actually true. There is nothing more hipocritical than using windows for decades without any major problems, and then painting MS as the devil himself. Oh excuse me, if you don't like Windows, you can migrate to Linux, there are plenty of games there, even if not every game.

In a decade at Google:

  • 'Hey guys I have this great idea!'
    'We killed gaming computers and consoles and took their stuff with streaming. That's great. How about we kill computers all together?'
  • 'You think they'll go for it?'
  • 'We already have their gaming data, their e-mail, their browsing data, their phone data and their online documents. We already supply their browser and operating system. They'll go for it.'
    'We'll market it as liberating them from burden of buying and maintaining their computer. No more hassle! Just stream "your" computer anywhere to you, to any device!'
    'They'll give us all their personal data and feed us their computing habits, and we'll make them pay a subscription for it.'
  • 'Genius'

It's not a devil or a saint, they're just doing what they're supposed to in a capitalist system, make as much money from us as possible. Sometimes it's a fair trade, sometimes it's not, and one example being worth it (Windows, Youtube) doesn't mean all examples will be (Xbox, Stadia).The point is appreciating Google's products over there doesn't mean you can't bash the one over here. They're not neighbors you have to be nice to at the BBQ because they let you borrow the lawnmower.

I'm really upset at Google trying very hard to display the right ad on the right screen.

This is a total breach of my constutitional rights and everyone there should be shot.

Just like with streaming video, they don't have to get it anywhere near perfect. Just "good enough" that Joe Sixpack won't care because of convenience.
