Homestuck.XYZ 2.0

Personally, I think it’s going to fail just as hard if not harder than the Ouya did. Just a handful of games available after launch, it seems more of a “look at this Thing that is Unique to us” (which, in Stadia’s case, is the streaming aspect of it) thing than a credible videogame console built to compete against Xbox and Playstation. It’s the Juicero of videogame consoles

There's simply no infrastructure to support it, and getting a better internet is simply not an option for a lot of people. If you think seeing the delay at the presentation with the most optimal circumstances, imagine it using through a VDSL with a heavy traffic. And that's without getting into the fact that you don't own any software on it.

I'd be honestly surprised if it turns out to be anything more than Google Glass 2.0.

I hope it would fail, but it's Google and not just some random guys doing it this time, so it seems like they have a plan. My best pc is just as powerful as geforce 940m inside. But that would never make me give up my offline gaming/buy once-play forever rights.

It might have had a chance if the initial game lineup was something more impressive the ~1 year-old titles or something exclusive to the Stadia. I can't imagine people getting this to play, let's say, Read Dead Redemption when it's already available on other platforms.
Dead on arrival; 0 out of 5 hats

I really don't want streaming software to be the new standard, mostly because you don't actually "own" your games when you pay for them and I like the security of, well, owning my things.

I used to work at Toys R Us before it shut down, primarily in electronics. Something I would see a lot would be parents who only bought previous generation consoles, or who only bought CoD or Madden once a year because that's all they could afford. The free version of Stadia would bring modern gaming to people and families who couldn't afford it before, since it can run on a potato using mid-tier DSL.

This isn't going to be the "next big thing" or replace console/PC gaming. It's not going to convert anyone even remotely close to the hardcore or enthusiast crowd. But what it is going to do is bring more games to more people, and I would never consider that a bad thing.

Input lag will make most games feel either extremely janky or unplayable. Especially multiplayer. God I can't even imagine

The Stadia: Gaming 'Console' for people who know Nothing About Videogames.

Streaming video games will never be a thing I would willingly do.

Streaming video games sounds like a completely unsustainable market in America. The input lag alone looks like it'll drive off a lot of customers. I also like owning my games, thank you very much. Better luck next time, Google.

I would have said something but you guys already said everything I could ever say.
