they apparently didn't setup the studios until they announced stadia and shut them down like a year later, so no. exactly like how Nintendo releases a new console without any launch titles, says it will get right on starting to develop a mario, and gives up a year later

even funnier when you remember they released a chromecast that didn't include stadia support, despite the chromecast being explicitly a thing to stream poo poo to your tv

cyberpunk 2077 was a game that was released, so in that sense it’s infinitely better than any game google would make, which would never be released.

That’s not fair. Cyberpunk 2077 was actually released and is better supported than Stadia ever was or will be.

you dont quite have that right. they released a chromecast that didnt include stadia support despite the chromecast being explicitly REQUIRED to play stadia on a tv

it wasnt a "drat we shouldve merged these two similar things" but rather a "we merged these two similar things but did not talk to either team about it"

yeah i was going to say that everything i read said it was easily the best way to play it but then it could just be pr and no one would ever know because no one outside the tech blog industry has ever used a stadia

i did a stadia trial, the technology itself is great but there's just not enough content to be worth it. games run really smoothly and with no lag, but gui/menu features are lacking. it was incredibly dumb for google to not release stadia along with the new chromecast w/ google TV, but apparently the reason for that is they are waiting for TV manufacturers to release it with the new chromecast built-in. last i heard stadia should be available on the new chromecast once these new TVs come out, maybe Q1 2021?

imo content is king. the underlying technology is solid, but i dont see google outperforming the competition in this space.

they really should have launched it as a beta vs declaring it ready for a full launch, particularly when it comes to device support. no native ios support, tvos in particular, is a huge drawback. that was largely due to apple and their recently eased "no game streaming" policy though (steamlink is allowed because it's technically classified as a remote desktop client)

to be honest, the call screen feature in my pixel 3a (hand in hand with the scuffed but still usable live transcription) has saved me an incredible amount of time and frustration on spam calls

Maybe I'll keep this phone for another year instead of getting an iphone se. I really hope they get the car warranty and home energy spammers to close up shop by then.

as unsustainable as onlive was, it worked alright for single player games on old systems and i can see stadia doing the same. i trusted it more than I'd trust stadia because at least they tried to maintain their service for a few years

geforce now actually works quite well, and probably is the biggest reason for stadia failing since you can use your existing Steam purchases with it

my favorite stadia detail was that the controller had a microphone built into it - a fact that was completely unmentioned in any of the promotional or technical documentation that accompanied the launch of the device

google apologized for the accidental "oversight"
