No, Stadia has NOTHING to do with Facebook Gaming.

One is a gaming streaming service where you can play your game directly from any device...

The other one is a just streaming videos... 

I mean, just because you can "click" somewhere to start XCloud (which is a completly different thing), does not make it "similar"... 

Mixer, Twitch, Facebook Gaming, YouTube Gaming <- Those are similar (Video stream service)

Google Stadia, XCloud, GeForce <- Those are similar... (Remote Play service)

I mean just stop comparing apples and orange.

Your whole post is based on the fact that you are saying that Facebook Gaming is a remote play service when it is not. Simply not.
And this why all of your other responses and assumptions are not accurate. So I'm not going to respond to each of your quote.

But just the last the bold part. This only means that when you watch someone on Facebook Gaming playing a game, you could click on "link" to open it in XCloud and obviously you will need a Microsoft account for it. This just a very smart way to get advertizing for XCloud. Microsoft is going to make Facebook Streaming easier like Twitch is on Play Station and in exchange Facebook will have a link to XCloud to "start playing the game". That's the whole purpose of this partnership, nothing more.

Just because you may have to "link" your Xbox Account to Facebook to be able to stream live from your Xbox like any other partner already does not make it "another level of integration". This is already in almost every platform today, you link your Play Station Network account to Steam, your Xbox account to Facebook (this is already there, there is no need for more), etc... And nothing in what Spencer said is talking about XCloud being "centered" around Facebook Gaming... It is just another way to get into it (marketing and advertizing)

For Gamepass price going up, it may be or not the case. That's again pure speculations but I agree that it can be a possibility; we will see.

I think your mis understand me.

"Your whole post is based on the fact that you are saying that Facebook Gaming is a remote play service when it is not."

I know its not.
I'm saying, xcloud is going to be a portal for Facebook gaming, to endup doing much what youtube+stadia wants.
Just it will be facebook gaming + xcloud from MS.

"But just the last the bold part. This only means that when you watch someone on Facebook Gaming playing a game, you could click on "link" to open it in XCloud and obviously you will need a Microsoft account for it."

Yes thats what I've been saying.
You ll need a facebook account, and a microsoft account and be logged onto both, and you can click from a video to enter the streaming service.

I suspect it ll go the other way around too.
On xbox maybe you ll have a facebook account, as well linked to your xbox one, and you can view Facebook gaming on your console, and go directly from video to gamepass too.

ei. its a partnership, bringing facebook to xbox, and xbox to facebook.


"For Gamepass price going up, it may be or not the case. That's again pure speculations but I agree that it can be a possibility; we will see."

It would have too, if its now 1 service, and the costs of haveing both things, remains the same, with less ways to go about getting the renvue.

So overall we basically agree about everything?

Well for GamePass, this can actually be part of the current price. Depends how they will "finance" that. This may be "marketing" cost if it brings more players in.

So yah, both are possible. Obviously I hope they won't increase it but if they do, meh, won't be the end of the world :)

And in bold: no, we do not ahah.
