Jaaa? I had to look it up. Amazing. To quote Han Solo:

If a game feels like it's Auto playing, I just don't enjoy it. I've maybe spent 20 minutes total doing the auto scrolling levels on Mariomaker.

E.X.A.C.T.L.Y.

The very idea of "predictive gameplay" is repulsive. If the game is playing itself, what is any of us even doing?

No. Not interested.



I won't but I sure hope others will.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Unless games cost way less on Stadia to account for the possible inconveniences related to cloud-gaming, I don't see myself using it in the foreseeable future.



The prospects for cloud gaming market are good. According to Marketwatch, Cloud Gaming is worth 1 billion dollars in 2018, and analysts are expecting a 24% growth year over year, which will surpass 4,9 billion dollars in 2025.

Analysts are notoriously bad at making predictions for the video game market. Just look at Pachter for example. 



Nobody is going to want to pay $60 for a game that you have to stream. In contrast PS Now and Gamepass are the true Netflix for games. If Netflix for games takes off it will be those two services and Stadia will be left in the dust.

Wake me up when they offer at least 1080P@60FPS stream. Gamepass is not even a streaming platform, you need to download the game and run on xbox or gaming PC. XCloud is limited by 720P@30FPS so far due to the fact the server blades are made off Xbox One S hardware.

You don't get it. Most people just care if the games are free with a $10 a month subscription. By the time PS5/Scarlett comes out 1080/60 will be as outdated as 720/60. PS Now and Gamepass will allow you to download your games directly to the hardware. No streaming required. If given the choice between paying $60 a pop for games on Stadia, and just paying $10 a month plus the cost of hardware most people will choose the option that gets them hundreds of games for $10 a month.

That's the problem you can't play the games on a phone or low-end PC, you need a gaming PC or xbox/scarlett.
