Tired of video game piracy, physical copies, and competition? Ask your doctor about Stadia!

Stadia is a prescription DRM platform guaranteed to  wipe out any annoying semblances of consumer rights. 

Stadia forces your "customers" to always be online. No more playing offline for them!

Stadia is a subscription based Games as a Service or "GaaS". GaaS costs more money in the long term than a one time purchase!

Stadia will allow you to completely abandon any games you don't feel like keeping on your servers, wiping out any Stadia exclusive games from history overnight!

Stadia injects advertisements and youtube level censorship directly into your games! This increases revenue and decreases creativity!

Stadia slowly releases microtransactions into the bloodstream of your games, with little pushback from the consumer. 

Stadia is loved by ISPs too! With Stadia you'll be able to charge more for going over data limits!

Side effects may include, lack of creativity in AAA games, entire games being lost to history forever, the death of the hardware market, annoying ads, no more mods, spying on consumers, microtransactions, and Donald Trump being elected to a second term.

As i said this is why the original xbox one could have been the tits

What scares me most is that the majority of consumers in the USA feel the same. I'm really on the fence as to whether it succeeds or not, but damn I really hope it doesn't. At least not until PS5 has come and gone. 

Frankly by the time this vision would become the baseline id probably be over with new games anyway. I'm 39, only play RPGs, and i'd probably be 50 by the time this would be a thing. Plenty of back catalog to just play old games.

Source?

If Google decided to continue with their Google Fiber Program, this would be a good buy. But considering that IP's like Comcast still exist with their cuckery of bandwidth caps, I'd probably have more time enjoying playing with my toaster than the 12 minutes I can stream a game.

I hope it flops and fails as badly as OnLive. Purely personal and selfish reasons really, mainly because I do not like Google from a business stand point and data sharing stand point. I also look at it like these are the same people that are trying to sell us this streaming concept with Stadia when they cant even make Youtube properly send notifications to our subscribers boxes properly.

Well... that still required you buy a $400 box.

My only real issue with Stadia is actually something that google can't do anything about. 

The unpredictability of the internet. One second I'm streaming 4k stuff o youtube and netflix just fine the next I am in buffer hell. Or sometimes my router just cuts out completely and while at a glance it looks like it's working perfectly its not. Or atimes the ISP is down for whatever reason and I have no internet.

Its like if I play a game I want to be able to just pick up my controller and play it. With stadia I will never really know what I am going to get until I'm done playing.

You have a youtube channel???

I personally don't have anything against google...... I just don't like the idea of little control we will have over our games if this becomes the norm.

Right now its being dressed up as this liberating new thing that's breaking the shackles of traditional gaming, when in truth its seizing control and putting it in the hands of everyone but the consumer. ISPs, google, publishers.... they are all going to love this to bits because they can screw over the consumer.

At least right now I know I can just pick u controller and game and I don't have to hope that the ISP and google are ok with it. Strange how no one seems to be talking about that.

Yeah I have a youtube channel.  You bring up a good point about putting control in the hands of ISP,Google, Publishers. This is always my main concern about digital only future. Its inevitable, its gonna happen, but thats when all power from the consumer ceases to exist and publisher/developers/isps dictate what price will have to pay for stuff at,with no choice whatsoever. 

I don't see anything special about Stadia at its core, I just see it attempting to do what others have already failed at. We will see how this works out when it releases, but I think its too early to attempt this, I think were still a bit away from this being an industry norm and a viable way to game efficiently
