Google wont be making first party cloud native games anymore. "Creating best-in-class games from the ground up takes many years and significant investment, and the cost is going up exponentially. Given our focus on building on the proven technology of Stadia as well as deepening our business...

I was talking about the people that make the argument that Stadia should only be a subscription service, without the option to buy individual games. If that was the case, Cyberpunk wouldn't be a game I would be able to play at launch on Stadia. As far as I know Cyberpunk is not part of any game...

I was referring under a subscription like Gamepass, where you pay X amount monthly to access a library of games.

Yeah, my point is that this applies to everything out there. It would be good if Sony works something out with Epic to allow crossbuy on every single game. The same for Microsoft and GOG. It would be awesome if that could happen. We don't know yet. There are very few games on the platform...

They describe that as the introduction price, so it would seem like it will increase in time. I bought The Division 2 on Stadia for $3.49 and I can play it for an unlimited amount of time. It's good to have options, because not every solution will be the best one for each case. Stadia is also...

I can understand that, I also have around 300+ games on Steam. I'm specifically talking about someone saying something like "It is a problem I cannot play my Steam library on Stadia.", but doesn't say "It is a problem I cannot play my PS5 library or Steam library on the Xbox Series X.". Of...

That is correct. If that is too much for you, then just pretend you have a 1080P console or don't use the service at all. Personally I see $10 as something easier to pay than the cost of building a PC with the same amount of power a Stadia instance has, but your opinion could vary on that. My...

You said it yourself, "Some of us would prefer to carry over our steam catalogue and not double buy games.". For Stadia, people seem to describe it as a problem that they cannot play the games they purchased on other platforms, but they don't apply the same rule to other platforms. You also...

I understand what you are saying, but there is a difference between being able to play games from an older library of games, of the same family of consoles, than saying that it is a problem you cannot play your PS5 games on the Xbox Series X. Taking your example, what should not happen is for...

If you buy a game on Stadia you don't have to pay a monthly fee to play it. What Stadia Pro gets you is around 3 to 8 games you can claim every month, as well as access to 4K, HDR and 5.1 sound.

Yeah, but imagine someone talking about having a PS5 and describing it as a problem that they cannot play their games on the Xbox Series X. Stadia is another platform with their own growing library of games. If you decide to buy or play a game on Stadia, you do so because you enjoy the...

I don't see what is the problem with Stadia's business model. See below for some games I recently purchased. There are potentially hundreds of hours of entertainment there and I don't have to pay ever again a $10 or $15 monthly fee to play them. If Stadia was only a subscription service, I...

Yes, look at the example below @11:13. If I'm not mistaken Digital Foundry had a 25 to 30ms ping to the Stadia data center. You will see similar cases with Tomb Raider running at 30fps on consoles and 60fps on Stadia. Doom Eternal is a special case, because it has a lower latency than the...

The highlighted part is not accurate. We have already seen examples of games like Red Dead 2 and Doom Eternal on Stadia, being capable of offering a lower latency than the console version. If the input lag is reduced on the server side, it can compensate for the added network latency and like I...
