As if publishers really needed more revenue streams...

Because Stadia didn’t have enough negative momentum all ready lol.

Just goes to show how little Google knows about the gaming industry. You never openly piss off gamers and especially gaming influencers.

“The real truth”...
If it’s not real, it can hardly be the truth. But I guess this is the proper way to spell this out in the Trump presidency era.

The last linked tweet must have hurt:

“Kinda weird take for the Creative Director of Google Stadia to say. Minecraft, GTA V, Roblox, Among Us, to name a few: all those games got super big because they embraced creators/streamers, not the opposite.

Maybe this explains a lot about current state of Stadia.”

I still don't understand how lets plays are a thing.

That's a pretty bad take and shows how clueless he is about streaming and the word-of-mouth effect you can get out of it.

Not that such of license would have a very noticeable effect on Stadia revenue anyway.

A semi-related factoid I've noticed recently:

I've started watching some Hololive streamers and I found it interesting how they always include a statement in the description when they stream a game, that the game is being streamed with permission from the game company. I was watching a stream earlier where one of the individuals was talking about how they were struggling with getting permission to stream Bloodborne so they wouldn't be playing it on stream any time soon. Hololive is a pretty big company so I can see why they would want to do everything by the book, but there does seem to be some precedent to specifically obtaining permissions before streaming games which I found a bit interesting.

*looks at collection* lol This guy and Stadia is a laughing stock. Owning games is best.

technically he has a point, its not like you can watch every TV show while streaming. But in practice its a very simplistic view of what streaming is, leeching content

Google should rather pay me a license so I'd touch stadia with more than just a 10-foot pole, not the other way around.

Ha, should be the other way around.
