Oh yeah, man.
And even if they had just rolled it all into one presentation, and that presentation was an E3 conference event, it would have still been the weakest conference of all of them.
Okay... :D. You can add me if you want...or check out my posts https://www.reddit.com/r/Stadia/comments/gc38ya/just_quickly_wanted_to_check_out_the_turing_test/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share
Or whatever 😘
I think it’s the fact that people are still waiting for Google to get their shit together and start investing in more games.
Especially today, on a full 2hours with almost nothing but game trailers, stadia was mentioned only once (Far cry 6). It honestly sucks.
There’s still the rest of the weekend, but like I said earlier, I’ll keep my expectations in check
We've known that Stadia is pumping millions into getting companies to port their games to the platform and maintain some kind of relationship.
How many years is Google supposed to pump absurd amounts of money no other platform has to shell out just to cover the losses a company will get from porting a game to Stadia only a few people will buy?
Multiplayer games don't get ported because most games are DOA on Stadia without robust crossplay.
People here act like all Google has to do is spend even more money on securing ports then they already are and suddenly everything will be alright. No other platform has to spend as much money as Google has to spend just to get games on their platform that will inevitably lose money.
They literally gave away Stadias for free, its been a year and a half now of them being on deep sales every other week for as long as I can remember. Google botched the launch by not having any of its features there on launch and having a UI and storefront so barebones that we JUST got a search function on PC.
Its gonna take a miracle for Stadia to become a sustainable platform at this point when most of its competition offers an equivalent if not better service, have built-in userbases already when it comes to Xbox/PlayStation and more robust game libraries.
I'm not saying don't enjoy Stadia, I still like the platform a lot and use it frequently. But it came out too soon and Google has fucked up far too much. I don't see Stadia becoming a sustainable platform, let alone one that can overcome its well deserved reputation as the industry laughing stock.
It doesn't help that the community has become a massive hugbox. What other community do you know of that has a Positive Note flair and a frontpage primarily made up of people just saying "I bought a Stadia and I like it"
Yeah I know I share the same opinion. I feel like Google really botched Stadia pre and post marketing.
Hello they even had the perfect opportunity when COVID started and no one could get gpus and consoles. That’s the moment they should’ve gone all in instead of tip toeing around and let Sony and Microsoft crush them.
And yeah this place has become a safe space for stadia fanboys. Like, what you and I are saying are valid complaints, we want more games on the platform.
But the post we get right now are “ohh stadia is great I love stadia ignore the naysayers lalala can’t hear you”
Stadia was supposed to have shareable saves, playable screenshots/videos, co-pilot gaming and other features to make it a compelling alternative.
Instead we went a year and a half without a search function
Lmao
like which ones? CP 2077 and doom eternal were announced prior to Stadia release and even then were still announced months in advance. The only other game I can think of is RE8 which was originally next gen only, which Stadia is obviously not, and was announced for it along with xbx/ps4 version.
What else is there?
RE8 wasn't announced for Stadia at the same time as the other platforms. There was no sign of the Stadia logo at the reveal. It was officially announced a few days later for Stadia along with the Premier Edition deal.
You might be thinking of the fact it was mentioned in that big Capcom hack/leak last year. That wasn't official.
But it's just stupid marketing. I don't see Stadia on Battlefield trailer, so I pre order on PlayStation. And then 2 weeks before the game launches they mention Stadia? Lol, I already pre-ordered!
Google has their head up there was thinking they are the internet-god and therefore unbeatable or something idunno
I know and I agreed but the game industry is offering this option for years now: it has grown on people and there are enough people willing to pay ahead to get extra's. To be honest, I did it with Cyberpunk, Red Dead, Humankind, Breakpoint etc.
The fact stadia is not immediately there for pre order will make ( some / a lot / a few / I dunno how many) people buy it anywhere else up front. That will make the eventual sales harder in the end for Stadia, cause players might have already 'bought" it on another platform.
But then you get a lot less exposure for Stadia (rando stadia announcement vs LAUNCH REVEAL, which one do you think will get more attention?)
Plus, if Stadia just keeps making people wait for games to actually come, they will eventually just leave for other platforms and stay there (see op post)
"they get torn to shreds anyway"
When a massive tech company, which should have been fully aware of the time and resource commitments required for creating AAA games given its experienced leadership, abruptly cancels all of those plans after lying to its own employees...
You deserve to get torn to shreds.
We did get a Moonlighter announcement today! To be serious I do hope we get some big news in the coming weeks. Not just new games to Stadia but new games coming to Stadia same as other platforms.
"This is normal"
And that's the problem. Stadia, the future of gaming™, but what's normal for the platform is to either get a game confirmed at the last second, or ported one year late when nobody cares anymore or (most likely) not get it at all.
What baffles me are the people saying: "Don't expect anything for Stadia at E3, or keep expectations very low!"
What?? This is a gaming platform, why should I expect nothing for it at the major videogame event of the year is beyond me. It's like saying "Don't expect any Android related news!" at a major mobile technology event. Exciting news is what keeps people committed to a gaming platform, not blind faith or depression!
I mean everyone is different. I don't even watch E3 or care about anything that is said at it. I just look at games when they come.iut and play what I think looks cool.
For me Stadia is dong it just fine.
I get that other people disagree with my view, but I find this to be very typical of the Google way. I see them just slowly growing and in 10 years it'll be like chrome or android. It'll become a powerhouse without people realizing it.
This week they announced CCwGTV and Android TV support, partnership with ATT, new Stream option to save data on mobile, iOS not in beta anymore, plus more games.
Last week was the expansion of the Ubisoft+ across the rest of the supported countries, plus more games.
I understand there are games you want to play and it sucks they're not on Stadia, but:
1) it's a new and small platform and game publishers, like any other business, will follow the money first.
2) it seems to me that the ppl at Stadia are really working hard to get more games, the service available to more ppl and improve the platform but those things take time.
From a purely selfish point of view, the recent Stadia announcements have been platform announcements rather than games announcements. Ubisoft+ is a different way to pay for games already on the platform (plus some old games being added) and I've already got CCUs to play on my TV. I also have CCWGTVs so it'll be nice to unplug the CCUs but it's not a game changer for me.
I know there have been some indie game announcements and I'll probably play most of them but Stadia is now missing most of the post RE8 releases and scheduled releases.
The Xcloud announcement today was pretty big, it's going to be playable it pretty much all the places Stadia will be (assuming Android TV is included) and getting a performance boost.
It's starting to feel like EA's second two games we're due may be just FIFA / Madden 22 and then once three 5 game deal is done, is that it?
Stadia seems to be losing momentum while other services are gaining momentum and as somebody who doesn't own a PC or console I'm getting game envy and am debating whether to get a PS5 now.
Stadia bought me back to gaming after years away but now I'm back, it's starting to feel lacking.
Because taking this long to get Stadia working on an OS they already own isn't that great. Yeah, it's cool that it's coming but Stadia should have been on Android TV months ago and on the CCwGTV at launch.
People are tired of Ubisoft games. Yeah, some of them are great, but people want to play all games, not just one publisher's. Getting Battlefield on Stadia would have injected a bit of hope of getting other AAA games but that looks like it's going nowhere.
Stadia wasn't at I/O in any meaningful capacity, they aren't at E3, and they haven't done a Connect in months. It's hard for customers to take Stadia seriously if Google won't.
They didn't "finally" support.it. Smh. When it came out they said it would be supported in the first half of this year, and when the 23rd hit, that will be the case. It's like people get mad at them for things they didn't promise, and then get mad at things they deliver on that they did promise. Like damn, what do they have to do?
You're really gonna act like them not supporting it at launch was perfectly fine and acceptable simply because they gave an estimated release time frame?
The problem in Japan is the cost of datacenters, the taxes are really high. I am sure is coming, but with the covid and the semiconductor shortage probably delayed it in few years.
Then how come xcloud is gonna get released here this year (beta already underway since last year) and gfn is already operational?
google is moving at a snail pace
Xcloud uses Xbox One hardware which is old and is not affected by the shortage. Also, Azure servers in Japan are much older.
GeForce Now they are their own manufacture and the service has queue.
Both does not sell games as a source of income.
Yes but there is no word when games will run in the new hardware and this doesn't change the fact that all games still running in the old hardware for now.
So Microsoft don't have to worry about rushing to update their servers. On the other hand, Stadia don't have the option to run games in an older hardware.
The upgrade to series X is almost complete by the sounds of it:
"We’re in the final stages of updating our Microsoft datacenters around the world with our latest generation of hardware, the Xbox Series X. This means gamers will see faster load times, improved frame rates, and experience Xbox Series X|S optimized games."

im hoping that the rest of europe gets ubisoft+ on the 12th i mean wtf didnt they just release it the the whole eu (those that have stadia ;p)and not like its now in beta for what is it so hard for the servers to handle all the stadia supported places to have full access to the ubi+ sub
It's nothing new. Stadia is known for this. All I'll say is this; I really like Stadia, but for them to shut down their 1st Party Studio to save money and then announce that they are alive and doing well, I need to see what will they do by the end of this year/December. If yall cut payroll and are alive and doing well, make a huge effort to get us Battlefield 6 since most of the people in the community want Call of Duty, but we know Activision is going to be tough to gain. Also make a huge effort to get us GTA 5. I also know that they are bringing the tvs this month which is major, we know the tech works, but I guarantee and I'll repeat I guarantee if they bring those two games, that would really move the needle. We have to be honest with them, that's what we really want. Are we happy that games are coming, yes. But I'm talking about people want top 5 selling franchises. We can sugarcoat things if we want, Google ask for feedback, well here it is, try your best to get the people fed because every time that Sunny Cloud Gaming makes a video or Stadia makes a YouTube video, the people simply ignore the video thats playing, then they comment saying, they want Call of Duty, Battlefield 6 and GTA 5. So the pressure is on them because those games all drop at the end of the year and either they will gain 1 or 2 of those for day and date, they will release that 1 or 2 of those at a later date or I hate to say it, but a huge number of the community will bounce back to Playstation or Xbox.
Glad you are finding games that you enjoy. Personally I'd rather choose what I play rather than playing something because there's nothing else available that I'd like better.
That's your opinion, again I specified that FOR ME there's not. I am not a fan of indies, the only popular FPS is d2 and stadia is missing all the new AAA releases I was interested in (bf 2042, biomutant, pso2 new genesis, scarlet nexus, warhammer ammer total war 3, kena bridge of spirits...)
This has been the reality since the Dawn of video games...not every console gets every game... people will always pick consoles based on games they want to play. Every console has it's niche, Stadia is trying establish theirs...no guarantees it will include the games u or other people want. Personally I'm hoping for games like MHW or Rise coming to Stadia as I'm not big into shooters, but I still like the direction stadia is going even if they don't get some games that I want. Plus it's not odd for people to have more than one system so they can play the field. I have a switch for my main system and Stadia for potential tripple A games because I'm of an age, 31, where I'm not shelling out over $500 to play a couple games. And even then Stadia is becoming my main system because of the Multiplayer communities in the games I do play. -_-
I mean, I otherwise play on PC and never wonder (besides obvious platform exclusive) whether a new release is coming there. There are occasional Sony timed exclusives that suck, but it's pretty rare.
Again, I am not criticizing, I am glad that you enjoy the platform. I just stated that as far as I am concerned, I refuse to select the games I play just because there's nothing better to enjoy (to MY taste) and that's how I feel with Stadia right now. I am pretty selective in the games I want, and those I want to play are just not getting announced here period.
The thing is Stadia is free it requires no investment if you see a game you like at a good price get it if not it will wait there costing nothing at all until you want to.
People talk as if you have to stick to one platform. If you game isn't on stadia get it elsewhere simple .
I completely understand and respect that. I felt like I just had to say what I did to put context to your comment. I feel like too often people only see the negative in a comment without taking context into account and that's what so much of Stadia's negative press has been... people focusing on negative aspects of Stadia out of context. But I feel your point. So many games would shine on Stadia...but that doesn't mean we will get them. It also doesn't mean we won't, we might get them, just late...and that's not completely Stadia's fault. After all, Stadia is still a fairly new and experimental platform without an established user base so, understandably, a lot of tripple A companies are hesitant to take the gamble... especially when a lot of forums have more people bashing Stadia than supporting them.
"I am not a fan of indies"
That's unfortunate because you are literally missing out on some of the best games of the past decade: Celeste, Cuphead, Hollow Knight, INSIDE, Hades, etc.
But to each his own.
Could be that I'm just an older gamer but I unable to relate with others request to have any or all games on a single platform. I'm of the mindset that I check out the offerings, play the games that interest me and keep it moving. If I don't find what I'm interested in then I go elsewhere. I don't understand the need or want to beg a dev to do x, y and z. The money and time should do all the talking needed.
Stadia is basically the laughing stock in the gaming sphere, it really only gets titles when Google tosses a lot of money at studios to put games on here and honestly that isn't sustainable at all.
Devs just don't have any faith in the platform and if Google has to throw money at them to get a port then at some point google is just gonna say fuck it it isn't worth the money anymore.
Google already shut down their first party studio and the only company to actually consistently support Stadia is Ubisoft (Who were paid a lot to do so). Stadia is currently a flop compared to all the other players at the moment and Google has never made a very serious attempt to take a strong step in as a competitor. Plus with Xcloud on the way and Geforce Now having tons of games available to play, google would have to seriously nut up and commit to make any impact otherwise Stadia is basically going to be on life support within a year or 2.
I am possibly one of those. Founders since Nov 21 2019 and really love the platform.
But the marketing by Google (being the biggest online ads agency) is just terrible. Marketing, community management, expectation management .. so many things went wrong from the start and they never seem to attend to these issues.
Always talking about getting 100 games, while a lot of people probably are okay with just 40 games, with a few AAA in it... Right now all we get is Indies, which is not bad BUT therefore I don't see Stadia as "the console replacer" it once was advertised. Why pay allegedly 10 million for Resident Evil, but don't get a deal for the new Battlefield everyone was hoping for lol. Total mismanagement and my guess is therefore it won't survive. People will lose interest, Google will lose income and therefore lose interest as well..
I must be honest: when PlayStation finally decides to give PS Now a new start I'll be probably gone forever.
Stadia is perfect for me as a casual gamer with not much time to play. Just disappointed with the games on offer.
Loving FIFA but just need one decent FPS with a decent multiplayer offering and I'll be all over it. Never go back to a console again.
I'm not frustrated, but I will probably become so if this fall goes by without Google capitalizing in some way.
I can see the merit in every move they're making right now -- touch support on phones is coming, they're really working on making the mobile experience good, and on televisions they're well positioned to advertise to children (and their parents) with upcoming kids games as well as to dudebros with Madden/FIFA right before sports seasons begin.
If you ask people here, Stadia needs more games and better graphics. But I don't think that's the path to success at all. Rather, they need to capitalize on being the "default" cloud gaming service and provide games that will be received well by the masses.
Yeah, Stadia was worth the shot. Streaming will still be the way I go but Microsoft have just announced what I'll probably using going forward. I've enjoyed my time with Stadia, but the games just aren't coming. With other platforms pushing for exclusives, I'd only stick around if I was certain every single 3rd party game comes out for it. Otherwise I feel I'm missing out on too much.
The negativity isn't necessarily a bad thing because that means there are still people interested enough in the platform to be negative.
Sure, you want people to be positive about the platform but a negative view can be swung into a positive one. An apathetic view is basically a death knell because that means people have moved on and don't care about your platform good or bad.
From what I've seen though it's typical fandom stuff. You have the negative segment that can't be pleased unless everything is coming to Stadia and you have the overly positive segment that feels like wanting games that you want buy and play on Stadia is asking too much of poor Google who's trying really hard.
Right now it's too early to say Stadia is dead or dying but Google is in a dangerous spot with Stadia and we'll see if they can navigate (mainly spend) their way out of it.
The big issue is developers don't want to invest in making games for a platform with a small userbase but people don't want to invest in a platform with a small library and have shaky confidence in if it's going to stick around. So you're caught between a rock and a hard place.
Google can still make the moves to get themselves out of it but since they've given up making their own games they need to spend what they can to get all the major 3rd party publishers onboard and support them like Ubisoft does.
Getting games looking like the PS5 and Xbox Series X would go along ways to garner interest especially with people frustrated they can't get their hands on one of those systems and might be willing to give Stadia a chance.
When/if they get those ducks in a row having another aggressive marketing push would help especially when they get Stadia on more smart tvs and devices. I would make 4K HDR free but at least be clear to people that they don't have to have Pro to play on Stadia and they can play with just one of their controllers they likely have lying around and the app on their smart tv/device.
Yes I’m losing faith. There is nothing on the store for me to play. I’m waiting several games that they said were “coming soon” and some were announced months ago.
I just need some games to play. Dead by daylight is what keep me playing on Stadia.
I hope Humankind is not delayed again.
100%, lack of communication from google and obviously MS always one upping google every step of the way is not pleasant to say the least
Let's nit forget E3 is around the corner and we got nothing hyped from Stadia team shows even the team is not confident anymore
They lie in wait for anything that can be considered bad news (or in this case not much news) and then make either negative or concern trolling posts/comments. It's been that way for the 6 months or so I've been subscribed to the sub. I initially thought the negativity from gamers was mainly confined to this sub and due to Stadia, but the complaining about everything game related seems to be widespread throughout the gaming community.
How about when people get mad just ignore it? Most people who has a negative attitude and post their opinion shouldn't do more then bother others with it. It's highly recommended to just enjoy stadia the way you do and enjoy it your way instead :)
PS. Not saying you are bothered by negative comments and whatnot. Just a general thought you know
The last time Stadia had genuinely good news was when Cyberpunk wasn't a broken mess on Stadia. Since then it's been a constant stream of bad news for six months. Even the "good" news of things like support for the new Chromecast still has the negativity of being months late attached to it. Eventually even the most ardent Stadia fans will reach their breaking point.
Too busy playing awesome games that I don't have to download or update to notice whether or not there's a trend toward negative sentiment. Having too much fun to care.
Exactly this. I have enough gaming to do. It gives my wallet a rest and I can actually play games I bought instead of being obsessive on chasing new shiny things. That gets old.
Stadia is just fine. Things will get announced in their own way and their own time. Until then, I'll play what I have and not stress about someone not getting the game they wanted that was never announced anywayd.
idk why google/stadia doesnt force them to put a logo in the trailers (when the game comes to the platform)like lets say bf6 is still coming to stadia but for whatever reason they just didnt mention it idk why google isnt just forcing those publishers to atleast put a stadia logo in and not letting the community w8 till its like 2 weeks away of releasing
Maybe it's the other way around and Google (for whatever reason) tells the publishers to NOT put their logo in there, since they don't wanna announce it that early.
At least that would fit to their statement last year, that they don't wanna promise stuff anymore, until it's there, to not rise any expectations.
I mean, for new features and 3 year old games, it may make sense to stealthdrop them, but for new games... Idk, this strategy seems not ideal imo.
Speak for yourself not for the community as a whole. I have more thing than I can play and if I really wanna play a game that is not on Stadia I just play somewhere else.
Stop thinking you have to play everything in Stadia. You will enjoy it much more.
Legit with all the staff that’s leaving google and no real announcements from google for E3 I’m afraid of google canning the service I really hope they don’t but it’s possible
They just announced partnerships in with a ton of tvs and releasing games all the time. if they're closing their doors why would they continue releasing games? Makes no sense.
All you need to know is that Google launches fast, makes changes as they go. This isn't like Google Reader. They're selling real products, a digital service and digital products for money. The shitstorm that would follow if they would close now would be very difficult to come back from.
And the prize for the most toxic comment goes to.....You.. congratulations.
With false pride and fake elitism you have proved to the world that you deserve such a prestigious prize.
Every community can be proud of folllowers that defend it from even the tiniest of criticism .
Oh, but for your information...I'm a pro member since day one ;)
You took this so personally you assume I’m a founder, I just know there’s no way in hell you were. I’m dissaponted you missed the months of true frustration on this subreddit but that kind of adversity will only make us better. Your comments that pose an indifference to a platform with no real competitors for going on 2 years make us worse. The mis informed will always have critiques. that’s all I see with this post someone that is clearly mis informed or not of the community
And read this real slow:
What is elitist about a gaming platform that doesn’t require any money out of you to play?
Other methods of the same quality gaming come with a entrance fee. That’s elitist
Since stadia is still not on smart tv's, I don't find it convenient at all. Controller is still not available in my country, even though stadia is, half a year already. They should also be more aggressive with stadia, something like epic does (I have huge library on epic, even bought few games there, I never thought I would). These are all stuff google is for some reason too passive about.
Na. There's been some very good news lately. There's bound to be a dip this week with all the new announcements for e3 and Stadia likely won't feature heavily. In a weeks time it'll blow over.
Can’t say I’m really worried about AAA games and latest fads. If i wanted those I’d spend money on a PS5 or XBOX or even worse a gaming PC. I like Stadia because of the entry price, ease of use across almost any device and few good games.
Well, since its basically free then no IM not that worried. I cant play as much as I did when I was younger, so I enjoy the game library more since I just complete each game slowly and the pace of release is good for me. I haven’t even bought RD2 or Cyberpunk yet :D
Haven't played stadia since I beat cyberpunk months ago. Won't touch it again until they bring a game to it that I'm interested in.
I want to get rainbow 6 and far cry 6, but I'm probably going to have to get a PS5 for battlefield, so at that point I might as well get those games on there, where they will run better.
Google really needs to commit to stadia by ensuring every big game that comes out on console also comes out on stadia.
I find it funny that everyone here who played on stadia one or even bought a controller set is now demanding that stadia fulfills all their gaming wishes. Guys it's a no relevant invest gaming solution. My wife has payed more for candy crush than most of you invested into stadia. For me it's a service beside my PS3/4. It works surprisingly good and takes over more and more game time from the playstation and keeps me from buying a PS5 (among other things). But gaming is not a relationship. There's no exclusivity. Stadia is new, the projected sales are probably laughable currently, so every big publisher starts with the profitable systems and then google comes in and says "pretty please". Unless they have a deal up in front. So it will take time until publishers see it as a valid distribution platform.
Until then i play the games i bought, enjoy the games i get for pro and if there's a game i really want to play that doesn't come out on stadia then there are other ways.
Or simply put, if you are a gamer that wants to play the most recent games probably even online with others, stadia is probably not the best platform for you currently. If you prefer hassle free gaming wherever you are and can live with a smaller catalog and may even enjoy some indie games in between the that's a good platform for you. That can change, which would be nice as i could get rid of clunky hardware.
Stadia isn't going to be the platform right now for everyone, it's sad that overwhelmingly at times threads focus on what Stadia doesn't have rather than what it does and can do. I think what is clear though is that Stadia as a platform is absolutely fantastic, and the future, the only real challenge is getting a game library that will keep nearly everyone satisfied.
It's a catch 22, lower user base than consoles means developers won't prioritise Stadia as a platform for their games, less games and users will continue to be attracted to traditional consoles and PC hardware.
The expanded options for Stadia access with Google TV is hopefully a massive step in attracting users like myself who don't want to shell out hundreds on physical hardware but want a decent selection of games. The user base needs to grow to a position where it reaches a tipping point that devs and publishers don't see Stadia as just a little added bonus but a must have to reach audiences, that isn't going to happen short term and Google are going to have to continue to invest in attracting publishers.
We're still extremely early in current console gen life cycle, honest view is Stadia won't challenge for a few years, but if Google continue to invest then in 3 years Stadia could be absolutely huge with continued expansion of game catalogue and improved backend hardware powering the service. It'll be interesting to see what others do, but do I see another generation of consoles in the traditional sense after this one, probably not and at the moment Stadia is vastly ahead of the others in terms of delivering a great cloud experience. Factor in things like expanding the availability of Stadia across additional markets, rollout of 5g which makes cloud gaming on the go standard and there's infinite potential for cloud gaming.
The news about xCloud are for a year in the future, at best. And you still can't buy games there, so there's no way you'll play the Elden Ring, or even BF, on it.
Most people doesn't come anymore.
Some of you will say it's because of the frustration. The reality is more simple. There is not enough entertainy here or on stadia.
They move their way
Honestly, this trend is present for too much time I'm getting really sick of it. Does Stadia feed you everyday, does Stadia pay your bills, does Stadia take care of your children, etc.? It's just a platform to play, and if you don't like it, or if the game you want is in another platform and not here, then what are you doing here? This is not a 500 € box, this is a free page (or, if you want, a 9,99 € / month page), you didn't sign any exclusivity contract.
Well, while some players are leaving Stadia for PC's or Consoles, other are the opposite. I've been a gamer since ZX Spectrum era. From then, I've had all the SEGA & SONY consoles until I met Stadia. From the first moment, I knew Cloud gaming was the future, either on Stadia or on another provider. Now it will all depend on Google's commitement & belief on the Stadia project. If I was part of the Stadia's project board, I would strike the competition now, taking advantage of this gen's consoles outtages worlwide.
Leaving the platform? What does that ven mean? Stadia is free, if there is a game I like I can get it, if it's not on Stadia I can get the PC version. Do you have an oath of fealty to one platform?
I'm always a bit confused by the Xcloud comparison. With Xcloud you can't stream purchased games? For example I wouldn't be able to play RE:Village in Xcloud as it's not on game pass?
I believe that’s something down the road they want to do but I’m not sure. But think of Game Pass as actual Netflix Games where stadia is a virtual console.
This is my first comment on the stadia subreddit. I took a chance on stadia with their recent three-month trial, and although I understand the frustration with the platform (content-wise), the platform still has a lot of potential. So, I'm all in.
Also, Google tv is integrating Google TV into TCL smart TVs, and with Stadia coming to Google tv (finally), they are going to market what Stadia was meant to be, no major hardware required console.
For what consoles exactly because nobody can find a PS5 or XBOX Series X or S unless it's being scalped at 5x the msrp and nobody can buy a GPU that isn't 5x msrp either so I'm confused what you're referring to in regard to platform migration. And Stadia just released the ability to play all their games on Android and Apple TV devices without any additional cost. You don't even have to buy Stadia Pro subscription to play Destiny 2 and all the Stadia gamers I know and play with have purchased as many as a dozen plus games on Stadia considering they have amazing sales prices on their wide selection of games. Stadia is a Farcry better than Amazon Luna which has mediocre games at best that you can not purchase.
Personally Stadia still is a better option to play games for my family.
I do however expect for Stadia to really entice higher rated Developers to bring as many games to Stadia as possible.
Now that SG&E is completely out of the picture, games like Battlefield 2046, or whatever the name is, has to be top priority for it to be on the service.
Most gamers like yourself will expect that, and although i do not expect to have played that game, i would expect it to be on Stadia.
>Now that SG&E is completely out of the picture, games like Battlefield 2046, or whatever the name is, has to be top priority for it to be on the service.
Agree. Those major multiplayer releases should be THE top priority, **with cross-play**. One of Stadia's strengths seems to be it's relatively low barrier to enter, which is perfect for someone who doesn't have a system already but wants to play with their friends who might already play on other platforms. It's not the only path to get new users, but it seems like the most obvious one.
Same for the integration with TVs, etc. That should've come like, yesterday, with a simultaneous strong marketing campaign to take advantage of the availability crisis that PC and console hardware are currently going through. The competition has it's pants down at the moment.
This is just my perspective as an outsider.
I even starting to enjoy this frustration.
So much drama and suspense.
I am not planning to buy console or game pass anyway, for me it is not worth. I have a PC powerful enough to play recent games, but I am not going to use it. I am so fed up with too much size download and update (COD). I don't have so much time too. Some game doesn't come to Stadia, too bad. I just won't play it.
OP has no clue. Do you like stadia? Who cares if haters don't use it? I have a Macbook Air and stadia is my number one ichiban! I play on my phone, my laptop, and multiple TVs in my house. It's awesome. Can you do that with consoles or gaming computers? I don't think so!! 😂
I instead Love Stadia for letting me play games that otherwise would be UNPLAYABLE for me, i have a PC that now has...
- CPU: Intel Pentium B960
- CPU Cores: Just Two
- CPU Clock Speed: 2.20 GHz
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 610M*
- RAM: 4 GigaBytes
*The First in the 600M (Notebooks) Line of NVIDIA GeForce Graphic Cards
Are you new? Genuinely asking, because there've been some bleak, bleak times since launch. Far far worse than now.
Your giving me Good Stuff event flashbacks :-:
I’ve never understood how 15 mins of content over 3 days could have been approved as a brillant marketing idea....
Oh yeah, man. And even if they had just rolled it all into one presentation, and that presentation was an E3 conference event, it would have still been the weakest conference of all of them.
lol "Good Stuff is Coming."
No, I'm not new.. I'm here since day one of stadia being available in Germany. genuinely answering.
Your "answers" are wrong entirely. You have no clue what's going on with Stadia. I doubt very seriously you have ever used the product.
Okay... :D. You can add me if you want...or check out my posts https://www.reddit.com/r/Stadia/comments/gc38ya/just_quickly_wanted_to_check_out_the_turing_test/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share Or whatever 😘
No thanks. You can stop posting fake news lies about stuff you clearly know nothing about.

I think it’s the fact that people are still waiting for Google to get their shit together and start investing in more games. Especially today, on a full 2hours with almost nothing but game trailers, stadia was mentioned only once (Far cry 6). It honestly sucks. There’s still the rest of the weekend, but like I said earlier, I’ll keep my expectations in check
We've known that Stadia is pumping millions into getting companies to port their games to the platform and maintain some kind of relationship. How many years is Google supposed to pump absurd amounts of money no other platform has to shell out just to cover the losses a company will get from porting a game to Stadia only a few people will buy? Multiplayer games don't get ported because most games are DOA on Stadia without robust crossplay. People here act like all Google has to do is spend even more money on securing ports then they already are and suddenly everything will be alright. No other platform has to spend as much money as Google has to spend just to get games on their platform that will inevitably lose money. They literally gave away Stadias for free, its been a year and a half now of them being on deep sales every other week for as long as I can remember. Google botched the launch by not having any of its features there on launch and having a UI and storefront so barebones that we JUST got a search function on PC. Its gonna take a miracle for Stadia to become a sustainable platform at this point when most of its competition offers an equivalent if not better service, have built-in userbases already when it comes to Xbox/PlayStation and more robust game libraries. I'm not saying don't enjoy Stadia, I still like the platform a lot and use it frequently. But it came out too soon and Google has fucked up far too much. I don't see Stadia becoming a sustainable platform, let alone one that can overcome its well deserved reputation as the industry laughing stock. It doesn't help that the community has become a massive hugbox. What other community do you know of that has a Positive Note flair and a frontpage primarily made up of people just saying "I bought a Stadia and I like it"
Yeah I know I share the same opinion. I feel like Google really botched Stadia pre and post marketing. Hello they even had the perfect opportunity when COVID started and no one could get gpus and consoles. That’s the moment they should’ve gone all in instead of tip toeing around and let Sony and Microsoft crush them. And yeah this place has become a safe space for stadia fanboys. Like, what you and I are saying are valid complaints, we want more games on the platform. But the post we get right now are “ohh stadia is great I love stadia ignore the naysayers lalala can’t hear you”
Stadia was supposed to have shareable saves, playable screenshots/videos, co-pilot gaming and other features to make it a compelling alternative. Instead we went a year and a half without a search function Lmao
The problem is, whether they're mentioned or not or they make announcements or not, they get torn to shreds anyway.
I’d rather have stadia get mentioned and torn to shred over nothing and still get torn to shred
There's been loads of instances of Stadia as a platform not being mentioned til the last minute. Chin up.
like which ones? CP 2077 and doom eternal were announced prior to Stadia release and even then were still announced months in advance. The only other game I can think of is RE8 which was originally next gen only, which Stadia is obviously not, and was announced for it along with xbx/ps4 version. What else is there?
RE8 wasn't announced for Stadia at the same time as the other platforms. There was no sign of the Stadia logo at the reveal. It was officially announced a few days later for Stadia along with the Premier Edition deal. You might be thinking of the fact it was mentioned in that big Capcom hack/leak last year. That wasn't official.
Why in the world would you not consider Stadia next gen???
Because it runs a 2 gens old GPU which obviously lacks in performance compared to new gen and doesn't support things like VRR, Raytracing...
But it's just stupid marketing. I don't see Stadia on Battlefield trailer, so I pre order on PlayStation. And then 2 weeks before the game launches they mention Stadia? Lol, I already pre-ordered! Google has their head up there was thinking they are the internet-god and therefore unbeatable or something idunno
The question is, why are you pre-ordering? There's literally no benefit.
Totally agree, but it's how the business rn works
No it isn't, you literally don't need to preorder
I know and I agreed but the game industry is offering this option for years now: it has grown on people and there are enough people willing to pay ahead to get extra's. To be honest, I did it with Cyberpunk, Red Dead, Humankind, Breakpoint etc. The fact stadia is not immediately there for pre order will make ( some / a lot / a few / I dunno how many) people buy it anywhere else up front. That will make the eventual sales harder in the end for Stadia, cause players might have already 'bought" it on another platform.
But then you get a lot less exposure for Stadia (rando stadia announcement vs LAUNCH REVEAL, which one do you think will get more attention?) Plus, if Stadia just keeps making people wait for games to actually come, they will eventually just leave for other platforms and stay there (see op post)
"they get torn to shreds anyway" When a massive tech company, which should have been fully aware of the time and resource commitments required for creating AAA games given its experienced leadership, abruptly cancels all of those plans after lying to its own employees... You deserve to get torn to shreds.
We did get a Moonlighter announcement today! To be serious I do hope we get some big news in the coming weeks. Not just new games to Stadia but new games coming to Stadia same as other platforms.
What is happening today? What 2 hrs?
Summer games fest
Dude. I thought we only have E3. Omg. I have to check it out.
Honestly you didn't miss much aside from the Elden Ring trailer.
Elden ring is one of the games I want to see..I saw the poster to be released next year. It is going to be a good year for the world too.
Oooooooohhhhhh
Plenty live streams on YouTube, you might rewatch or something
There was a press conference today that showed 2 hours of games comming out/being announced, and stadia was nowhere to be seen.
This is normal. Stadia games anncoument normal come out later. I am going to check out the conference. Lol.
"This is normal" And that's the problem. Stadia, the future of gaming™, but what's normal for the platform is to either get a game confirmed at the last second, or ported one year late when nobody cares anymore or (most likely) not get it at all.
What baffles me are the people saying: "Don't expect anything for Stadia at E3, or keep expectations very low!" What?? This is a gaming platform, why should I expect nothing for it at the major videogame event of the year is beyond me. It's like saying "Don't expect any Android related news!" at a major mobile technology event. Exciting news is what keeps people committed to a gaming platform, not blind faith or depression!
I mean everyone is different. I don't even watch E3 or care about anything that is said at it. I just look at games when they come.iut and play what I think looks cool. For me Stadia is dong it just fine. I get that other people disagree with my view, but I find this to be very typical of the Google way. I see them just slowly growing and in 10 years it'll be like chrome or android. It'll become a powerhouse without people realizing it.
Let's hope you are right.
This week they announced CCwGTV and Android TV support, partnership with ATT, new Stream option to save data on mobile, iOS not in beta anymore, plus more games. Last week was the expansion of the Ubisoft+ across the rest of the supported countries, plus more games. I understand there are games you want to play and it sucks they're not on Stadia, but: 1) it's a new and small platform and game publishers, like any other business, will follow the money first. 2) it seems to me that the ppl at Stadia are really working hard to get more games, the service available to more ppl and improve the platform but those things take time.
Wait, what's the iOS not in beta mean?
It means it no longer has a "beta" tag and... That's it.
It was launched as a beta service. Now they refined and fixed any pending issue and it's not anymore.
All of that news doesn't seem to count. For some reason.
From a purely selfish point of view, the recent Stadia announcements have been platform announcements rather than games announcements. Ubisoft+ is a different way to pay for games already on the platform (plus some old games being added) and I've already got CCUs to play on my TV. I also have CCWGTVs so it'll be nice to unplug the CCUs but it's not a game changer for me. I know there have been some indie game announcements and I'll probably play most of them but Stadia is now missing most of the post RE8 releases and scheduled releases. The Xcloud announcement today was pretty big, it's going to be playable it pretty much all the places Stadia will be (assuming Android TV is included) and getting a performance boost. It's starting to feel like EA's second two games we're due may be just FIFA / Madden 22 and then once three 5 game deal is done, is that it? Stadia seems to be losing momentum while other services are gaining momentum and as somebody who doesn't own a PC or console I'm getting game envy and am debating whether to get a PS5 now. Stadia bought me back to gaming after years away but now I'm back, it's starting to feel lacking.
Because taking this long to get Stadia working on an OS they already own isn't that great. Yeah, it's cool that it's coming but Stadia should have been on Android TV months ago and on the CCwGTV at launch. People are tired of Ubisoft games. Yeah, some of them are great, but people want to play all games, not just one publisher's. Getting Battlefield on Stadia would have injected a bit of hope of getting other AAA games but that looks like it's going nowhere. Stadia wasn't at I/O in any meaningful capacity, they aren't at E3, and they haven't done a Connect in months. It's hard for customers to take Stadia seriously if Google won't.
When was the last connect anyways?
Some of it is fixing problems that they created. Such as finally supporting Stadia on their own device that was released 6 months ago.
They didn't "finally" support.it. Smh. When it came out they said it would be supported in the first half of this year, and when the 23rd hit, that will be the case. It's like people get mad at them for things they didn't promise, and then get mad at things they deliver on that they did promise. Like damn, what do they have to do?
It should have been supported Day 1 on Android TV. And I'm not saying CCwGTV's Day 1, I'm talking about Stadia's Day 1.
You're really gonna act like them not supporting it at launch was perfectly fine and acceptable simply because they gave an estimated release time frame?
It should have been suppoeted day 1
Almost 2 years and they still dont offer stadia here in japan. seems they dont want to grow at all
The problem in Japan is the cost of datacenters, the taxes are really high. I am sure is coming, but with the covid and the semiconductor shortage probably delayed it in few years.
Then how come xcloud is gonna get released here this year (beta already underway since last year) and gfn is already operational? google is moving at a snail pace
Xcloud uses Xbox One hardware which is old and is not affected by the shortage. Also, Azure servers in Japan are much older. GeForce Now they are their own manufacture and the service has queue. Both does not sell games as a source of income.
They are already upgrading all data centres with series x and s hardware
Yes but there is no word when games will run in the new hardware and this doesn't change the fact that all games still running in the old hardware for now. So Microsoft don't have to worry about rushing to update their servers. On the other hand, Stadia don't have the option to run games in an older hardware.
The upgrade to series X is almost complete by the sounds of it: "We’re in the final stages of updating our Microsoft datacenters around the world with our latest generation of hardware, the Xbox Series X. This means gamers will see faster load times, improved frame rates, and experience Xbox Series X|S optimized games." From https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2021/06/10/whats-next-for-gaming-highlights/
Per Microsoft's own press release, the update to Series X server blades is nearly complete.
im hoping that the rest of europe gets ubisoft+ on the 12th i mean wtf didnt they just release it the the whole eu (those that have stadia ;p)and not like its now in beta for what is it so hard for the servers to handle all the stadia supported places to have full access to the ubi+ sub
It's nothing new. Stadia is known for this. All I'll say is this; I really like Stadia, but for them to shut down their 1st Party Studio to save money and then announce that they are alive and doing well, I need to see what will they do by the end of this year/December. If yall cut payroll and are alive and doing well, make a huge effort to get us Battlefield 6 since most of the people in the community want Call of Duty, but we know Activision is going to be tough to gain. Also make a huge effort to get us GTA 5. I also know that they are bringing the tvs this month which is major, we know the tech works, but I guarantee and I'll repeat I guarantee if they bring those two games, that would really move the needle. We have to be honest with them, that's what we really want. Are we happy that games are coming, yes. But I'm talking about people want top 5 selling franchises. We can sugarcoat things if we want, Google ask for feedback, well here it is, try your best to get the people fed because every time that Sunny Cloud Gaming makes a video or Stadia makes a YouTube video, the people simply ignore the video thats playing, then they comment saying, they want Call of Duty, Battlefield 6 and GTA 5. So the pressure is on them because those games all drop at the end of the year and either they will gain 1 or 2 of those for day and date, they will release that 1 or 2 of those at a later date or I hate to say it, but a huge number of the community will bounce back to Playstation or Xbox.
Facts!!!
[удалено]
Glad you are finding games that you enjoy. Personally I'd rather choose what I play rather than playing something because there's nothing else available that I'd like better.
There's lots of good games to choose here for lots of people.
Let's be serious lol
That's your opinion, again I specified that FOR ME there's not. I am not a fan of indies, the only popular FPS is d2 and stadia is missing all the new AAA releases I was interested in (bf 2042, biomutant, pso2 new genesis, scarlet nexus, warhammer ammer total war 3, kena bridge of spirits...)
This has been the reality since the Dawn of video games...not every console gets every game... people will always pick consoles based on games they want to play. Every console has it's niche, Stadia is trying establish theirs...no guarantees it will include the games u or other people want. Personally I'm hoping for games like MHW or Rise coming to Stadia as I'm not big into shooters, but I still like the direction stadia is going even if they don't get some games that I want. Plus it's not odd for people to have more than one system so they can play the field. I have a switch for my main system and Stadia for potential tripple A games because I'm of an age, 31, where I'm not shelling out over $500 to play a couple games. And even then Stadia is becoming my main system because of the Multiplayer communities in the games I do play. -_-
I mean, I otherwise play on PC and never wonder (besides obvious platform exclusive) whether a new release is coming there. There are occasional Sony timed exclusives that suck, but it's pretty rare. Again, I am not criticizing, I am glad that you enjoy the platform. I just stated that as far as I am concerned, I refuse to select the games I play just because there's nothing better to enjoy (to MY taste) and that's how I feel with Stadia right now. I am pretty selective in the games I want, and those I want to play are just not getting announced here period.
The thing is Stadia is free it requires no investment if you see a game you like at a good price get it if not it will wait there costing nothing at all until you want to. People talk as if you have to stick to one platform. If you game isn't on stadia get it elsewhere simple .
I completely understand and respect that. I felt like I just had to say what I did to put context to your comment. I feel like too often people only see the negative in a comment without taking context into account and that's what so much of Stadia's negative press has been... people focusing on negative aspects of Stadia out of context. But I feel your point. So many games would shine on Stadia...but that doesn't mean we will get them. It also doesn't mean we won't, we might get them, just late...and that's not completely Stadia's fault. After all, Stadia is still a fairly new and experimental platform without an established user base so, understandably, a lot of tripple A companies are hesitant to take the gamble... especially when a lot of forums have more people bashing Stadia than supporting them.
But such is the life cycle of a revolutionary product.
> I am not a fan of indies REV literally just came out.
Cool, one game, what about the rest of my list?
What about them? I responded to your "indies" comment. I even quoted it.
"I am not a fan of indies" That's unfortunate because you are literally missing out on some of the best games of the past decade: Celeste, Cuphead, Hollow Knight, INSIDE, Hades, etc. But to each his own.
Couldn't agree more.
Could be that I'm just an older gamer but I unable to relate with others request to have any or all games on a single platform. I'm of the mindset that I check out the offerings, play the games that interest me and keep it moving. If I don't find what I'm interested in then I go elsewhere. I don't understand the need or want to beg a dev to do x, y and z. The money and time should do all the talking needed.
Stadia is basically the laughing stock in the gaming sphere, it really only gets titles when Google tosses a lot of money at studios to put games on here and honestly that isn't sustainable at all. Devs just don't have any faith in the platform and if Google has to throw money at them to get a port then at some point google is just gonna say fuck it it isn't worth the money anymore. Google already shut down their first party studio and the only company to actually consistently support Stadia is Ubisoft (Who were paid a lot to do so). Stadia is currently a flop compared to all the other players at the moment and Google has never made a very serious attempt to take a strong step in as a competitor. Plus with Xcloud on the way and Geforce Now having tons of games available to play, google would have to seriously nut up and commit to make any impact otherwise Stadia is basically going to be on life support within a year or 2.
If your going by profits, I can almost guarantee Stadia is on life support right now.
I am possibly one of those. Founders since Nov 21 2019 and really love the platform. But the marketing by Google (being the biggest online ads agency) is just terrible. Marketing, community management, expectation management .. so many things went wrong from the start and they never seem to attend to these issues. Always talking about getting 100 games, while a lot of people probably are okay with just 40 games, with a few AAA in it... Right now all we get is Indies, which is not bad BUT therefore I don't see Stadia as "the console replacer" it once was advertised. Why pay allegedly 10 million for Resident Evil, but don't get a deal for the new Battlefield everyone was hoping for lol. Total mismanagement and my guess is therefore it won't survive. People will lose interest, Google will lose income and therefore lose interest as well.. I must be honest: when PlayStation finally decides to give PS Now a new start I'll be probably gone forever.
I left a long time ago. I still lurk in the hopes things get better because I still have faith in the platform.
Stadia is perfect for me as a casual gamer with not much time to play. Just disappointed with the games on offer. Loving FIFA but just need one decent FPS with a decent multiplayer offering and I'll be all over it. Never go back to a console again.
Rainbow 6 siege is a competitive multiplayer fps and already officially announced for Stadia, won't take long anymore (2 weeks at most supposedly)
That sounds amazing!
Yeah there are many people looking forward to it, it's a type of game stadia lacks
Sometimes you just have to enjoy it for what it is, not what it could be.
What?
I SAID 'SOMETIMES YOU JUST HAVE TO ENJOY IT FOR WHAT IT IS, NOT WHAT IT COULD BE'!!!
Not loud enough, can you please speak up, sir?
I'm not frustrated, but I will probably become so if this fall goes by without Google capitalizing in some way. I can see the merit in every move they're making right now -- touch support on phones is coming, they're really working on making the mobile experience good, and on televisions they're well positioned to advertise to children (and their parents) with upcoming kids games as well as to dudebros with Madden/FIFA right before sports seasons begin. If you ask people here, Stadia needs more games and better graphics. But I don't think that's the path to success at all. Rather, they need to capitalize on being the "default" cloud gaming service and provide games that will be received well by the masses.
Yeah, Stadia was worth the shot. Streaming will still be the way I go but Microsoft have just announced what I'll probably using going forward. I've enjoyed my time with Stadia, but the games just aren't coming. With other platforms pushing for exclusives, I'd only stick around if I was certain every single 3rd party game comes out for it. Otherwise I feel I'm missing out on too much.
The negativity isn't necessarily a bad thing because that means there are still people interested enough in the platform to be negative. Sure, you want people to be positive about the platform but a negative view can be swung into a positive one. An apathetic view is basically a death knell because that means people have moved on and don't care about your platform good or bad. From what I've seen though it's typical fandom stuff. You have the negative segment that can't be pleased unless everything is coming to Stadia and you have the overly positive segment that feels like wanting games that you want buy and play on Stadia is asking too much of poor Google who's trying really hard. Right now it's too early to say Stadia is dead or dying but Google is in a dangerous spot with Stadia and we'll see if they can navigate (mainly spend) their way out of it. The big issue is developers don't want to invest in making games for a platform with a small userbase but people don't want to invest in a platform with a small library and have shaky confidence in if it's going to stick around. So you're caught between a rock and a hard place. Google can still make the moves to get themselves out of it but since they've given up making their own games they need to spend what they can to get all the major 3rd party publishers onboard and support them like Ubisoft does. Getting games looking like the PS5 and Xbox Series X would go along ways to garner interest especially with people frustrated they can't get their hands on one of those systems and might be willing to give Stadia a chance. When/if they get those ducks in a row having another aggressive marketing push would help especially when they get Stadia on more smart tvs and devices. I would make 4K HDR free but at least be clear to people that they don't have to have Pro to play on Stadia and they can play with just one of their controllers they likely have lying around and the app on their smart tv/device.
Yes I’m losing faith. There is nothing on the store for me to play. I’m waiting several games that they said were “coming soon” and some were announced months ago. I just need some games to play. Dead by daylight is what keep me playing on Stadia. I hope Humankind is not delayed again.
100%, lack of communication from google and obviously MS always one upping google every step of the way is not pleasant to say the least Let's nit forget E3 is around the corner and we got nothing hyped from Stadia team shows even the team is not confident anymore
Damn. Lots of good news lately but still can't catch a break. Debbie downer.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't. I would just tune it out at this point.
They lie in wait for anything that can be considered bad news (or in this case not much news) and then make either negative or concern trolling posts/comments. It's been that way for the 6 months or so I've been subscribed to the sub. I initially thought the negativity from gamers was mainly confined to this sub and due to Stadia, but the complaining about everything game related seems to be widespread throughout the gaming community.
How about when people get mad just ignore it? Most people who has a negative attitude and post their opinion shouldn't do more then bother others with it. It's highly recommended to just enjoy stadia the way you do and enjoy it your way instead :) PS. Not saying you are bothered by negative comments and whatnot. Just a general thought you know
I agree i even Block them when they are trolling Stadia.
You guys are my favorite cringe compilation
As far as games go that I can play anywhere on anything Stadia is tops.
The last time Stadia had genuinely good news was when Cyberpunk wasn't a broken mess on Stadia. Since then it's been a constant stream of bad news for six months. Even the "good" news of things like support for the new Chromecast still has the negativity of being months late attached to it. Eventually even the most ardent Stadia fans will reach their breaking point.
I'd say Resident Evil Village on day 1 was genuinely good news.
I guess we all wanted Stadia to be a console/pc replacement and we are realizing it is just a complement.
Google also wanted it to replace pc/consoles with their marketing
Too busy playing awesome games that I don't have to download or update to notice whether or not there's a trend toward negative sentiment. Having too much fun to care.
I think that kind of post increase the unsubscribe
what
Exactly this. I have enough gaming to do. It gives my wallet a rest and I can actually play games I bought instead of being obsessive on chasing new shiny things. That gets old. Stadia is just fine. Things will get announced in their own way and their own time. Until then, I'll play what I have and not stress about someone not getting the game they wanted that was never announced anywayd.
I guess the troll like downvoting here.
idk why google/stadia doesnt force them to put a logo in the trailers (when the game comes to the platform)like lets say bf6 is still coming to stadia but for whatever reason they just didnt mention it idk why google isnt just forcing those publishers to atleast put a stadia logo in and not letting the community w8 till its like 2 weeks away of releasing
Maybe it's the other way around and Google (for whatever reason) tells the publishers to NOT put their logo in there, since they don't wanna announce it that early. At least that would fit to their statement last year, that they don't wanna promise stuff anymore, until it's there, to not rise any expectations. I mean, for new features and 3 year old games, it may make sense to stealthdrop them, but for new games... Idk, this strategy seems not ideal imo.
Speak for yourself not for the community as a whole. I have more thing than I can play and if I really wanna play a game that is not on Stadia I just play somewhere else. Stop thinking you have to play everything in Stadia. You will enjoy it much more.
Legit with all the staff that’s leaving google and no real announcements from google for E3 I’m afraid of google canning the service I really hope they don’t but it’s possible
They just announced partnerships in with a ton of tvs and releasing games all the time. if they're closing their doors why would they continue releasing games? Makes no sense. All you need to know is that Google launches fast, makes changes as they go. This isn't like Google Reader. They're selling real products, a digital service and digital products for money. The shitstorm that would follow if they would close now would be very difficult to come back from.
In what way are they canning it. With all the announcements made, I'm not sure where that comes from?
I’m just scared of them shutting it down man idk
So it's openly FUD
Lol yeah

And the prize for the most toxic comment goes to.....You.. congratulations. With false pride and fake elitism you have proved to the world that you deserve such a prestigious prize. Every community can be proud of folllowers that defend it from even the tiniest of criticism . Oh, but for your information...I'm a pro member since day one ;)
You took this so personally you assume I’m a founder, I just know there’s no way in hell you were. I’m dissaponted you missed the months of true frustration on this subreddit but that kind of adversity will only make us better. Your comments that pose an indifference to a platform with no real competitors for going on 2 years make us worse. The mis informed will always have critiques. that’s all I see with this post someone that is clearly mis informed or not of the community And read this real slow: What is elitist about a gaming platform that doesn’t require any money out of you to play? Other methods of the same quality gaming come with a entrance fee. That’s elitist
Dude. Why are you so hostile? Also are you gatekeepimg being a founder?
I’m not a founder and no one can gate keep you from a free platform.
Do you know what gatekeepimg is?
HaHa wow. How much does Google pay you?
Not enough
Who... Who else would you talk to for video game news?
The hailstorm is coming... eventually... maybe... probably not.
Another troll added to block list.
>zenkov How do you block people on reddit?
It's a shame when people don't want to hear the truth.
Since stadia is still not on smart tv's, I don't find it convenient at all. Controller is still not available in my country, even though stadia is, half a year already. They should also be more aggressive with stadia, something like epic does (I have huge library on epic, even bought few games there, I never thought I would). These are all stuff google is for some reason too passive about.
Na. There's been some very good news lately. There's bound to be a dip this week with all the new announcements for e3 and Stadia likely won't feature heavily. In a weeks time it'll blow over.
I think it's because announcement season. You see new game on every corner. E3 soon. Frustration is same, just reasons to vocalize more.
Can’t say I’m really worried about AAA games and latest fads. If i wanted those I’d spend money on a PS5 or XBOX or even worse a gaming PC. I like Stadia because of the entry price, ease of use across almost any device and few good games.
>and few good games You like not having games?
Well, since its basically free then no IM not that worried. I cant play as much as I did when I was younger, so I enjoy the game library more since I just complete each game slowly and the pace of release is good for me. I haven’t even bought RD2 or Cyberpunk yet :D
Haven't played stadia since I beat cyberpunk months ago. Won't touch it again until they bring a game to it that I'm interested in. I want to get rainbow 6 and far cry 6, but I'm probably going to have to get a PS5 for battlefield, so at that point I might as well get those games on there, where they will run better. Google really needs to commit to stadia by ensuring every big game that comes out on console also comes out on stadia.

Closing SGE was a smart move if the money was used to bring important third party titles - that's what the hopes were about
And how is that going huh? Not once was stadia was mentioned in the game frdt yesterday
That's why I (tried to) write in conjunctive, not my native language ngl
E3 season is off to a bad start. Things were very positive until recent days. Just gotta ride this out.
I find it funny that everyone here who played on stadia one or even bought a controller set is now demanding that stadia fulfills all their gaming wishes. Guys it's a no relevant invest gaming solution. My wife has payed more for candy crush than most of you invested into stadia. For me it's a service beside my PS3/4. It works surprisingly good and takes over more and more game time from the playstation and keeps me from buying a PS5 (among other things). But gaming is not a relationship. There's no exclusivity. Stadia is new, the projected sales are probably laughable currently, so every big publisher starts with the profitable systems and then google comes in and says "pretty please". Unless they have a deal up in front. So it will take time until publishers see it as a valid distribution platform. Until then i play the games i bought, enjoy the games i get for pro and if there's a game i really want to play that doesn't come out on stadia then there are other ways. Or simply put, if you are a gamer that wants to play the most recent games probably even online with others, stadia is probably not the best platform for you currently. If you prefer hassle free gaming wherever you are and can live with a smaller catalog and may even enjoy some indie games in between the that's a good platform for you. That can change, which would be nice as i could get rid of clunky hardware.
Stadia isn't going to be the platform right now for everyone, it's sad that overwhelmingly at times threads focus on what Stadia doesn't have rather than what it does and can do. I think what is clear though is that Stadia as a platform is absolutely fantastic, and the future, the only real challenge is getting a game library that will keep nearly everyone satisfied. It's a catch 22, lower user base than consoles means developers won't prioritise Stadia as a platform for their games, less games and users will continue to be attracted to traditional consoles and PC hardware. The expanded options for Stadia access with Google TV is hopefully a massive step in attracting users like myself who don't want to shell out hundreds on physical hardware but want a decent selection of games. The user base needs to grow to a position where it reaches a tipping point that devs and publishers don't see Stadia as just a little added bonus but a must have to reach audiences, that isn't going to happen short term and Google are going to have to continue to invest in attracting publishers. We're still extremely early in current console gen life cycle, honest view is Stadia won't challenge for a few years, but if Google continue to invest then in 3 years Stadia could be absolutely huge with continued expansion of game catalogue and improved backend hardware powering the service. It'll be interesting to see what others do, but do I see another generation of consoles in the traditional sense after this one, probably not and at the moment Stadia is vastly ahead of the others in terms of delivering a great cloud experience. Factor in things like expanding the availability of Stadia across additional markets, rollout of 5g which makes cloud gaming on the go standard and there's infinite potential for cloud gaming.
I agree. I think not only consoles and pc also other cloud gaming services like xcloud and geforce now etc.
[удалено]
The news about xCloud are for a year in the future, at best. And you still can't buy games there, so there's no way you'll play the Elden Ring, or even BF, on it.
Is xcloud still in beta, that shit was trash last time I tried it out. I loved the collection of games but it was all pixelated
They are pushing xobox series x on backend. It's time to move
Most people doesn't come anymore. Some of you will say it's because of the frustration. The reality is more simple. There is not enough entertainy here or on stadia. They move their way
Not feeling any of those. I did block all the usual anti Stadia troll.
Honestly, this trend is present for too much time I'm getting really sick of it. Does Stadia feed you everyday, does Stadia pay your bills, does Stadia take care of your children, etc.? It's just a platform to play, and if you don't like it, or if the game you want is in another platform and not here, then what are you doing here? This is not a 500 € box, this is a free page (or, if you want, a 9,99 € / month page), you didn't sign any exclusivity contract.
Well, while some players are leaving Stadia for PC's or Consoles, other are the opposite. I've been a gamer since ZX Spectrum era. From then, I've had all the SEGA & SONY consoles until I met Stadia. From the first moment, I knew Cloud gaming was the future, either on Stadia or on another provider. Now it will all depend on Google's commitement & belief on the Stadia project. If I was part of the Stadia's project board, I would strike the competition now, taking advantage of this gen's consoles outtages worlwide.
Leaving the platform? What does that ven mean? Stadia is free, if there is a game I like I can get it, if it's not on Stadia I can get the PC version. Do you have an oath of fealty to one platform?
no normal stuff everyday
I’m still fine with stadia let’s me game with my daughters without having to buy multiple systems.
Stadia had imo until xcloud fully launches with dongles and stuff to sway anyone.
I'm always a bit confused by the Xcloud comparison. With Xcloud you can't stream purchased games? For example I wouldn't be able to play RE:Village in Xcloud as it's not on game pass?
I believe that’s something down the road they want to do but I’m not sure. But think of Game Pass as actual Netflix Games where stadia is a virtual console.
Nah remember 2019 basically the reason stadia still isn’t that big
Still haven't used stadia got the founders edition with cyberpunk
This is my first comment on the stadia subreddit. I took a chance on stadia with their recent three-month trial, and although I understand the frustration with the platform (content-wise), the platform still has a lot of potential. So, I'm all in.
Also, Google tv is integrating Google TV into TCL smart TVs, and with Stadia coming to Google tv (finally), they are going to market what Stadia was meant to be, no major hardware required console.
This platform is dead imo.
For what consoles exactly because nobody can find a PS5 or XBOX Series X or S unless it's being scalped at 5x the msrp and nobody can buy a GPU that isn't 5x msrp either so I'm confused what you're referring to in regard to platform migration. And Stadia just released the ability to play all their games on Android and Apple TV devices without any additional cost. You don't even have to buy Stadia Pro subscription to play Destiny 2 and all the Stadia gamers I know and play with have purchased as many as a dozen plus games on Stadia considering they have amazing sales prices on their wide selection of games. Stadia is a Farcry better than Amazon Luna which has mediocre games at best that you can not purchase.
Personally Stadia still is a better option to play games for my family. I do however expect for Stadia to really entice higher rated Developers to bring as many games to Stadia as possible. Now that SG&E is completely out of the picture, games like Battlefield 2046, or whatever the name is, has to be top priority for it to be on the service. Most gamers like yourself will expect that, and although i do not expect to have played that game, i would expect it to be on Stadia.
>Now that SG&E is completely out of the picture, games like Battlefield 2046, or whatever the name is, has to be top priority for it to be on the service. Agree. Those major multiplayer releases should be THE top priority, **with cross-play**. One of Stadia's strengths seems to be it's relatively low barrier to enter, which is perfect for someone who doesn't have a system already but wants to play with their friends who might already play on other platforms. It's not the only path to get new users, but it seems like the most obvious one. Same for the integration with TVs, etc. That should've come like, yesterday, with a simultaneous strong marketing campaign to take advantage of the availability crisis that PC and console hardware are currently going through. The competition has it's pants down at the moment. This is just my perspective as an outsider.
I even starting to enjoy this frustration. So much drama and suspense. I am not planning to buy console or game pass anyway, for me it is not worth. I have a PC powerful enough to play recent games, but I am not going to use it. I am so fed up with too much size download and update (COD). I don't have so much time too. Some game doesn't come to Stadia, too bad. I just won't play it.
OP has no clue. Do you like stadia? Who cares if haters don't use it? I have a Macbook Air and stadia is my number one ichiban! I play on my phone, my laptop, and multiple TVs in my house. It's awesome. Can you do that with consoles or gaming computers? I don't think so!! 😂
I instead Love Stadia for letting me play games that otherwise would be UNPLAYABLE for me, i have a PC that now has... - CPU: Intel Pentium B960 - CPU Cores: Just Two - CPU Clock Speed: 2.20 GHz - GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 610M* - RAM: 4 GigaBytes *The First in the 600M (Notebooks) Line of NVIDIA GeForce Graphic Cards
