Cr1tikal Reacts To Why Did Google Stadia Fail?! By Act Man | Moist reacts

[@LukasJampen]

The worst thing about Stadia was the buisness model. You pay a monthly fee like a subscription service but you don't get access to the whole library like netflix, no you need to pay seperately for games you can't download and if the service shuts down or the servers are down you don't have access to any of the games you bought. If steam is down I can still play most games in offline mode as long as I have them installed, except for the always online games but that is on every platform a problem.

[@chancethornton6321]

The input lag was significant

[@pochi1491]

thats the thing, people dont seem to get that you dont have to pay anything to stadia to use it. you paid for 4k, and hdr support, 7.1 surround sound support, if you wanted it, along with the monthly free games which ngl were bangers, but i cant chalk it up to it being everyone elses fault for not understanding because its not. stadia was free, you only paid for the games cbut google marketing sucked and never made that clear.

[@KiraNightV]

I was a qa tester for games a year ago and I still remember the headache that Stadia caused me. I had to frequently test games on Stadia because our company was hired by the game devs to do qa testing and I was one of the poor unfortunate souls that was assigned the stadia version. I could not tell you if the game was poorly optimised or if stadia is just that awful, but even with an insanely good internet, the result in testing an unfinished game on stadia was the quality would go from 480p to 1080p to 240p and so on, changing every couple frames. It had a sort of strobing effect that would have caused me to have constant seizures if I was epileptic, and not being one I still could only play for an hour tops before I had to rest my eyes. Not only was it torturous to test on stadia but the whole time I was thinking that the work I was putting in was worthless because no one in the world will play this game on the stadia when it's available on literally everything else. and then Stadia shut down and I quit my job

[@GameTheGalaxy]

This is why streaming games doesnt make sense for me, I have 25mbps which is a far cry from the new standard of 100-1000. IMO if people can afford gigabit/fiber internet, a console or decent PC isn't going to be a big deal compared to a streaming box

[@elliotcooley2141]

the thing about stadia being "great for people who dont want to wait for games to download" is that it works on the same tech as xbox cloud gaming, where both resolution, ping and input speed all depend on speed of your internet connection anyway so its only decent if you already have good download

[@NeutralGuyDoubleZero]

You're right but it had nothing to do with specifically being based on Xbox tech, the quality of the stream and gameplay was always gonna be dependant on internet quality lol

One of the biggest failures of Stadia was the games were actually more expensive than Steam, Epic or even the consoles.

Also we're talking about one of the biggest corporations in the world being stingy on the pricing model!

No artefacts nothing. I recommend this to anyone who always wants the latest hardware but can't afford it physically. This way you pay off a gaming PC every 5-6 years. Which to me makes sense, because I don't want to pay for a new one every 2-3 years to stay up-to-date. Also since I prefer owning a Mac, I don't want to fry my W5700 graphics card for gaming. I want to be easy on my professional hardware for my work. And this way you can take your gaming PC everywhere where there is good connection.

It was something you can barely call gaming and and without all the other great aspects of gaming like owning your own hardware and a physical copy of something that you spent money on to add to your collection. The inception of stadia was basically "nope we're going to remove all of that and you have to have an internet connection to even play a single player game (badly)."

It's the inevitable next step in the whole "video games as a service" disaster, it's really just that most of the current infrastructure isn't equipped to handle things like this yet so it came way too soon.

Late to the party, but i was a stadia user. The service itself was decent if your connection was good.

pretty sure it was the dreamcast, not genesis or saturn that was the death knell for sega's consoles. it had 624 games before it was discontinued, which was too bad because it was actually a great console for it's era, was designed to make pc ports easier to produce, and was the first console to support online gaming, making it a true pioneer. It released in japan at the end of '98, the rest of the world about a year later, which meant it was a contemporary of both the ps and ps2, both of which were largely blown away in terms of innovation and potential. but it was marketed very poorly and supported post launch even more poorly, mostly because Sega lacked the resources to actually promote it properly. EA and another major software developer both declined to support it, but despite not having any access to the catalogues of these major game developers, it still had an enviable list of exclusives: Jet Set Radio, Crazy Taxi, Shenmue, Metropolis Street Racer, Power Stone, Space Channel 5, Virtua Tennis, Seaman, Skies of Arcadia, Soul Calibur, Resident Evil: Code Veronica, Rez, Headhunter, and Chu Chu Rocket. It also had a very large , clunky yet comfortable, functional and very forward-thinking remote, with Microsoft later incorporating the first 2 traits into their controller design for the Xbox. Had Sega not squandered so much time, resources, and public faith on failures like the Saturn, its very likely that the Dreamcast would have propelled them from being perennial runners up in the console game to the ones to beat, at least for a generation. instead, all support and sales for the Dreamcast ended in 2001, little more than a year after global launch. Which means that, in the little over 2 years since it first went on sale in Japan and without access to any titles from 2 of the biggest studios of the era and Sega's finances in decline, the Dreamcast accrued a game library more than triple the size of what multibillion-dollar Google's Stadia amassed over the course of 4 years. Fucking pathetic lol

Stadia NEEDED to NOT call it a console. On top of that they focused on the downloads and space requirements and yada yada. Instead they should have focused on how you could play ANYTHING because it was all just screen sharing anyways. Console only games being "pc ported" just via streaming would've really saved it. Bloodborne alone would have carried stadia so hard. If anyone was going to have enough money to pull those, it would've been google. Good invention, bad focus, wrong execution.

Bloodborne would never come to the stadia, sony has their own super scuffed cloud service.

Stadia was one of the reasons I got adblock for YT

Ngl, I didn’t even think Stadia was around for 3 years. I thought it was around for like a year, maybe 2 at most. Also, even when I heard about the Stadia, the concept of it just didn’t seem that interesting to me.

Ykw cr1tikal. Same I was skeptic of the stadia and knew it was gonna fail

[@themalcontent100]

The idea of stadia might be... something. However, google is not an innovator. They are a marketing company. The people who get promoted are marketing and sales teams, not engineers and developers. So the marketing team probably heard, "new console" but did not understand what the product was.

Until right now I thought it was a console.

Cloud gaming will always remain worthless because once the service shuts down you ca't play any games, you lose all you paid for, meanwhile normal downloaded ad cartridge/disk games you can still play long after the system loses all funding
