Sorry, but pet peeve. Shutdown is not a verb. (should be "shut down")
When will Google shut down Stadia?

#52Earlier quoted context omitted.
Modern multiplayer games already do the "world model" calculations on the server, with clients simply rendering the little data they have.
Then what’s stopping us from making a MMORPG with the physics of a simulator?
The technical difficulty of making an MMORPG I'm guessing.

#53Honestly, as soon as Google announces a new product, my first thought is to wonder how long until it is shut down. Google has completely lost my trust in relying on any of their products. Even when they come out and claim that this product will not be cancelled, for reals this time, pinky promise, etc. I simply can't believe them.

This comment is extremely frustrating. You can't shed multiple "solitary" tears. Even if its one tear per eye. You wouldn't say "I have two solitary eyes" would you?
>You wouldn't say "I have two solitary eyes" would you?
I would.

#55Although Stadia might fail, I see cloud gaming (i.e. streaming A/V) as a revolution for multiplayer games. We can now have all kinds of complicated physics and particle engines, since all players are known to experience the exact same “world model”. It might help a lot with anti-cheat technology as well. It’s pretty exciting!

#56Google’s different brands remind me of MSFT of the early 2000s. No rhyme or reason. More chaos and throwing spaghetti at the wall. No issues changing or deprecating APIs and products like this on a whim. They certainly dont inspire trust in anything but their flagship brands like Gmail that have been with us for decades.

What?
Re: When will Google shut down Stadia?
#57What is going on with Google? I used to think Google had the best product team in the world. In some ways I thought they defined what modern product management is/was. Now I have no clue what they are thinking with their product launches as of late. All of their products (and marketing) invoke this conservative, risk-adverse blandness that tries to appeal to everyone and in turn appeals to no one.
Maybe I'm crazy but I've never thought google had a good product team. Has there ever been a coherent vision for their collection of products?
Edit: just to be clear. I'm not saying google doesnt have good products. I use and enjoy lots of them but for a long time it has seemed like even google isn't sure how all their products fit together. Perhaps that leads to weird forays into territories that don't fit which then results in shutting things down.

A lack of gameplay from the resulting physics to justify the server costs? Game devs don't simulate worlds for the fun of it. They have a purpose behind things. There's a cost/benefit involved.

If you find that comment "extremely frustrating" you must really hate... well everything really.

From what I hear, this is due to the promo driven culture at Google. You can good reviews/promos based on new products that get pushed to market, nobody cares about maintenance at Google.
I got my first promotion in Google for preventing a half-forgotten system from imploding.
