Stadia is exactly what I don't want to happen to video games, a purely streaming, online-only experience where you don't own anything and are at the mercy of another company's data to play games. It's for that reason I applauded Stadia's downfall.

[@guillermoelnino]

i bought an external drive. have a lot of the games i have on there. if a single player game has drm i find the cracked version of it and aave that too.

[@AayamS]

Actually, this isn't entirely true. A netflix like service, even if you don't own anything, is(or would be) drastically cheaper. Currently, entry is a 500 dollar payment on a console, and 60 per game (so 300 for just 5 games) and then an additional monthly fee just to be able to play online. So, its true, its unfortunate stadia sucks, but the if it (or a similar service) were to work, there would be a massive drop in pricing. Its like, trying to compare Netflix vs trying to buy every show on netflix on itunes and building a library so you own the titles. Like, yes, you don't OWN netflix titles, but it is so much cheaper than the 2nd option that its a better deal for almost everyone.

[@DisDatK9]

@@AayamS but that was never what Stadia intended in the first place. Everyone thought that is what would be the service model, because it makes perfect sense, but it wasn’t until down the road. You had to own the games over Stadia’s system to play, a full 60$ on top of the “subscription” that literally only allowed to stream in 4K. Even now when their platform has “developed,” it’s staggeringly less games than Xbox games service. And staggeringly less stable in streaming.

That concept might work for movies and TV shows, but it won't ever catch on in the gaming world.

"Collectors can dig up three new Fossil Collections on Xbox One, PC and Stadia" Me, to myself, huh, did Playstation suddenly change its name? What's Stadia? In the 300 days since launch, I've been on Google some 290 days. You'd figure I'd see some notification, an attempt to sell me the platform. I have 3 frickin Gmail accounts, 3 Google users that got no notification/promotion whatsoever. Or, worse case scenario, I saw promotion, and it didn't catch my attention. Talk about making gaming banal. Failure to launch? Failure to get anywhere near the launchpad.

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

But depending on your marketing settings, no mention of Stadia can also be seen as a good thing. It means they're respecting your wishes regarding advertisements. I saw them the most here on KZbin before getting Premium and getting to remove video ads, though recently I've begun to see promotions for it when scrolling through my KZbin feed. Also might have seen a story or two on Google's mobile homepage where I get news stories, but I've turned them off and Google has respected that setting. Imagine that.
