killamch89 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 From what I read myself earlier this week, Google Stadia is no more than a digital storefront that you have to pay a subscription fee and still buy the games - but you don't own them. If Google Stadia shuts down, that's it - you will no longer have any access at all to any of the games you bought using that platform. To top it all off, the platform has no measures in place to deal with latency and are depending on Internet providers to make Stadia run smoothly. There isn't really anything appealing about the Stadia at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 I think there will be definitely takers for this and there are already. Some things about some level of gamers is that we are going to see more and more creators on youtube there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DylanC Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) It’ll likely fail overall but there’ll be a small market for it, I guess. Sounds like a disaster atm as internet infrastructure is still a way off to support this imho. Edited August 1, 2019 by DylanC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I think those with that level of the broadband can also benefit from stadia. But I don't think I am out. Because my bandwidth is not that high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In essence, you are paying Google to "access" your fully purchased games via subscription fee without any guarantee that you will still have access to those games if the platform is dismantled.

Yeah, true. From top to bottom, the Stadia is one hot mess. It’s cheap as chips, though, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The basic subscription is cheap but I wonder what other costs are they hiding from us the consumers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will probably be extra costs somehow. And I really don’t wanna pay for yet another subscription fee. Netflix, PS Plus, Switch and Xbox is enough!

Besides the $10 a month is for the basic package which isn't going to last forever - They'll either force you to upgrade or increase the cost of basic package.

That is the most controlling behavior that game developers and the studios always wanted to do. I think I am glad that people are standing up against this. I think subscription for every small things needs to stop. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wholeheartedly agree that this is madness and with gamer skepticism at an all time high, I am pretty sure the Google Stadia will not be successful.
