Bye Splash, you gave us Gears Tactics.
Otherwise I don’t see this helping much. Just a bunch of B tier studios that are now off the market.
Once Xcloud launches and merges with Game Pass it’s game over.

I rather have Xcloud with GP winning the streaming front against PSNow (which if they don't step up their game will happen) than see Google winning it.

Question, strictly speaking in the streaming space, do you consider Ps Now competition knowing they pay MS for the servers that make it possible? I don’t see it due to its success just means more money for MS. Thoughts?

It is competition, even more because if Sony thinks it can do better (operational or cost) with Amazon, Google, or any other company they probably can.
And it will be two different services, but yes for MS that is money in their pocket even if you subs for PSNow. But as far as I know PSNow was still using sony infraestructure bought from Gaikai and "improved" over the years. Have they already jumped to Azure?

Not sure, they been pretty vague on the when. Also I’d imagine they locked in some contract and wouldn’t be able to move everything over to Amazon or Google servers without having a hassle.

Sure it can't be done on the flip of a switch, probably have protection for both sides on price paid and duration of the contract with whoever breaking or wanting to finish the relationship needing to pay a good money.

Stadia has been flailing and barely bobbing its head above water since launch and there are still huge technical issues besides the lack of proper software. There's also the whole concern revolving around pricing and ownership over regular business models. Stadia has many problems to address, and if they acquire studios or enlist studios' aid today, we're still a long way off actual games from them. Another two years with basically no incentive to purchase? What product has ever survived such a thing. |
They should have done this way before now. Hell, they should have been making tons of announcements like this the months leading to launch. The thought of Google throwing money to pay for many, many proper exclusives would've been something positive. Instead this is patching a cannon-size hole with a band-aid.

You’d be better off supporting Microsoft’s upcoming xCloud than Googles Stadia. xCloud is better for several reasons: -Microsoft doesn’t see it as a replacement for console/PC unlike Google, just a compliment to them. -Microsoft already has a large 1st party set up, google doesn’t -Early tests suggest xCloud will have lower latency than Stadia -Larger playerbase for multiplayer games. |
Also in Xcloud you just pay a flat monthly fee rather than paying full price for each rental.
Stadia is a long term investment, not sure why everyone is expecting it to sink or swim in the first year or 2. It has google money behind it and currently isn't trailing any streaming competition that would cause them to pull out.
Right now increasing their offerings and pricing is more important than exclusives

Because Google is notorious for killing projects that don't immediately bring results.
