I enjoyed STADIA.... well, I liked the 2 games I played on it at least? (GYLT and PAC-MAN) but besides that... I had no reason to go back to STADIA at all.
The pricing, the promotion, the service and the LAG all worked against the service and today I plan to look into its history!

To be fair the PS3 despite its rough launch would be moderately successful selling a respectable 87.4 million units in its lifetime. While the Xbox One with its own horrible launch would only sell 50 million units. I think Harrison did more damage when he was with Microsoft then with Sony in my opinion. Bottom line: don’t hire Phil Harrison.

At least we've finally moved past the whole "5G is going to change our lives" thing. I still don't understand how so many tech reviewers ignored so much logic that suggested that 5G would in fact become one of the least impactful cellular transitions to date. The facts that most people can still use an LTE phone in 2022 if they really need to and still usually don't have a bottleneck for anything (any more than you would have with 5G that is) really cements that.

from my opinion, the next big wave will be PC gaming making it's way on the console market. The Steam Deck is a massive first step. There will be more PC handhelds and console like devices soon. Also Linux gaming will be really good, since microsoft's windows 11 is just a huge nope.

@MegaZeta Жыл бұрын

@@hyperturbotechnomike Not sure why that would make any difference, because people will then buy pre-built systems and those systems will then define the threshold for performance for video games. And this is exactly the same as what consoles did. You're describing a console. Take the Steam Deck, your example: What do people want to see before they buy a game for Steam Deck? They want to see that the publisher has worked directly with Valve to ensure compatibility. And that's going to be a corollary to any such new machine. Consoles nowadays are essentially mini-tower PCs anyway. So whatever machines make it big, developing for compatibility is going to be near-indistinguishable from a console release today.

It should have been completely free with the requirement of buying games, and the Pro subscription should have been a Netflix style subscription. You could either pay a monthly fee for games, or buy specific games. Making you pay for 4K AND have to buy all the games that hadn't been included in Pro was just stupid. While it's nice to keep your Pro games when you stop subscribing (just being unable to play them), that meant that you had to stay subscribed to Pro to build up a library of games. All those Pro games you missed from previous months was a friction point keeping people from wanting to subscribe to Pro.

The Stadia has been for me just another example for how games as a service just won't be viable really any time soon, especially ones that will require a perfect, stable internet connection just to run. But my main issue isn't even with the function of the system (though there are still plenty of issues there), it's in the part that we're in now when the service inevitably shuts down and people lose access to their games. There's a very small selection of games that can get away with removing access to them down the line, such as with MMORPGs where the core of the experience is having that large server base to properly run the game, and for everything on Stadia none of that applies. Just look at that Red Dead 2 player who was making the headlines when the shutdown was confirmed, he's now lost access to his 6000 hr or something save file, can't be transferred or anything, and if we assume he went all out to be able to play in 4k that's a potential $200 down the crapper (between the early cost of Stadia and the full price of the game that he would have needed to buy). Like sure, right now consoles like the Switch, PS5 and Xbox One will eventually no longer be supported in any capacity by their parent companies, but you'll still be able to use them years down the line, just like right now I can go and plug in my N64, Gamecube, PS2, hell even a NES if I wanted and it'd still be usable.

And then there’s mobile games; god knows how many mobile games have already been and will become lost over time.

I'll never want cloud only gaming because the higher cost of games will stick around much longer than if you just buy a used physical copy. Also, I moved last year to a better area overall, but at the sacrifice of leaving the internet company I really enjoyed. The new one has a ton of very bad reviews but they have an exclusive deal with the apartment complex, so I can't switch from them. I don't play games that require online access, so I've not stress-tested the capabilities of my service, though I'm paying for nearly the highest speed it has (1GB. Recently, they added 1.2GBZ's, which likely isn't worth the switch).

It controls video because of acquisition, not because of Google Video (a product the killed after buying youtube). Publicly traded companies do this because they have a fiduciary duty by law to their shareholders to return a profit each quarter if it all possible. Usually they can only get so far in their original product silos before they have to expand to entirely new categories and markets. Companies even do weird things like set up false competitors to capture more of their market before they give up and try whole new product categories.

Stadia could've worked, but having it require a mix of hardware, a subscription and paying for individual games was confusing and made no sense for a cloud service. GeForce NOW is basically what the Stadia should've been, and Xbox Cloud Gaming works because it's a bonus feature of a more compelling offer. Google was the newcomer in this situation, but their offer was oddly traditional and unambitious compared to the incumbents.

I'm reminded of a quote from Top Gear, when they were reviewing some budget "cheap and cheerful" subcompacts from budget brands. ONe of them had a car that boasted about having suspension designed from an F1 team, and an engine that was outsourced to another company who also made racing engines...But the interior materials were so brittle and noisy, that actually driving the car was unpleasant. In the words of the reviewer "I'd gladly trade my Lotus-designed suspension for some toyota-designed plastics." and that has been stadia, in my eyes. They spent tens of millions to port over 2 and 3 year old AAA titles while shutting down their own in house studio and doing absolutely nothing to cater to the smaller studios and indie creators who thrived the best on the system (at that time, anyways). They focused on chasing a gamer who was already served well, and wondered why they never got the sales they wanted, all while doubling down on a failing strategy. They spent money everywhere they didn't need to, and neglected every aspect they needed to focus on - from the storefronts to the value proposition to the exclusives and unique experiences.

Parsec and GeForce Now are the most promising cloud-esque or remote gaming services imo. I've used both, the former the most as it runs on my own rig with low latency, and it's great for many situations. Xcloud is alright but pretty high latency, so only good for certain games. Knowing MS they can probably pull something off and it's more like Netflix Gaming, since it's included with Game Pass Ultimate. All that's said, you know how much data they probably got from Stadia? Knowing them they probably just kept going while they made money/data and then pulled the plug as soon as even the smallest profit wasn't being made.

Can't really compare this to the TurboGrafx-16, Sega CD and other short-lived console as all of those are still playable decades after being discontinued. Same can't be said for the Stadia and other online based gaming services.

Stadia was an interesting experiment, but you couldn't get past the laws of physics. Lag is always going to be a problem. If that elephant is ever slain, then I think streaming game services will become a massive market.

The fact that they brought in the guy behind the Xbox One, which had one of the biggest SNAFUs in then-recent gaming history with its "always online" controversy when it was first announced that torpedoed any chance of it competing with the PS4 and might have crippled the Xbox brand long-term... for another "always online" system was the first sign that Stadia was doomed to fail. It was a spectacularly tone-deaf move.

Stadia was a big *meh* from me. I really wasn't interested in it from the beginning. When I heard that it was dumped, I thought it was less than a year since it was released. So, I guess it's good that it did better than my memory of it.

Wassup Slopes! Really enjoyed this documentary. I'd seen a lot written about the Google Stadia but had never explored it for myself, so this was a great explainer. It's such a shame that something with so much potential was messed up that badly, although I guess it now leaves the market open for an actual "Netflix of gaming" competitor to come along... ?

one thing i wish you would have covered is that the supporters were very very devout. the video you made about the amico and its supporters reminded me of them A LOT. the subreddit would remove posts even slightly critical and the supporters overall created a culture of suppressing any criticism by telling each other not to spread FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt). they treated google like a small company and encouraged telling friends and family about stadia. the funniest part is that they insisted that stadia would be the biggest thing and that in the end we'd all be sorry for laughing at the console

Think something that made Stadia even less appealing for me is I have Game Pass Ultimate. That includes XCloud at no extra cost. I'd rather just pay the £11 each month and have a choice over whether to stream or download, rather than have to pay for games I can only stream.

A Netflix style platform for games sounds good on paper, but faces it's own set of issues that makes it hard for me to fully get behind; and I'm not just talking about the technology. Theres the internet requirement to play games, the idea that games can just disappear, and a few other issues involving gaming as a business. Plus I just like having physical copies of my games.
