I hope that it flops. I can see it being on the level of Google+. Anti-consumer, no exclusives, no selling point at all in fact.

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 |
link? whats it about?
The only thing that sucks is that when this thing takes off and changes gaming forever, it really is the beginning of the end for games preservation. That's really all I care about. Basically every Stadia exclusive will be lost to time in a few hundred years. That sucks.

How are you so certain this will be the future?
People used to think flying cars would be the future, but we all know what a nightmare that would have been.

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. |
Price and convenience will always win over everything else. That includes consumer rights or privacy. I don't mind this development giving companies more power because I live in a country with strong consumer protection.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
So if this is a subscription thing, then how will they pay third parties? If its like 20 bucks a month, then Capcom would get 10 cent a month for their support or 1 cent per game people play per month? I just don't get how this would work.

Its just a mixture of game play and movie mash ups. Most of the videos I upload either have to do with games I've either gotten preview or review codes from developers/publishers or just random game play I decide to feature. A few full playthroughs here and there,nothing major. Prob gonna be attempting another crack at beating my 1hr 24min run of Mario Odyssey though sometime in the next few months

I hope it fails. I don't trust publishers to do what is right for consumers especially when it is online-related, just look at games like Fallout 76 and Anthem

This has happened time and time again. First digital was promised to offer more flexible pricing and ending the 60$ per game model, only to barely change the prices (and in most cases, retail games ending up cheaper than digital). DRM and always online functionality was supposed to end piracy and offer better features, only for many games to end up bloated and slown down as a result of the DRM, with many pirated versions running better. Paid online on consoles was supposed to be there to improve the infrastructure, and yet none of them really offer anything better online than free PC online. Microtransactions were there to support small and/or struggling projects with a Free to Play model, only to be added to every big AAA game, often with lootboxes and with no regards of initial price.
I can only imagine what EA, Activision or any other big publisher could get away with on a platform like Stadia.
