Author has never heard of the PC master race... No one is going to consoles when we have PC's. <the end>
Cloud gaming has always been a bad idea imho. Nothing new here, but now its another Google platform to gather data on you for targeting advertisements. I wonder what brought on this from Google to have this platform?
Stadia's launch seems troubled. I'm expecting pivots as they search for their audience. It seems like a logical step for mobile gaming, but taken a bit too far.
I think games could just be "stadiafied" the way many apps are just "electronified", where the consumers don't need to care how it's all implemented. A game could be designed around the major graphical elements being streamed while leaving the UI local. That could open up a lot of new ideas and make game dev easier.
Stadia as it is now seems like the right solution to the wrong problem, but I hope it pivots around and finds some good niches instead of going the typical Google route when things don't immediately work out.
