When will Google shut down Stadia?

Re: When will Google shut down Stadia?
#592I understand the cynicism of this community to Stadia but implore you all to think a little broader. Stadia is different, with this product Google is trying something really innovative. For one, the fact that Stadia actually costs money should be a signal of Google's long term ambition here. Yes, Fiber also cost money but was bogged down by the hell that is infrastructure development. Stadia will require a substantia…
>Stadia is different, with this product Google is trying something really innovative. Google is not the one being innovative here. This has been done before, to no real success. Google was first to the finish line (kinda, seems more like a beta in implementation), but other offerings are coming down the pipe shortly. I don't see Google winning this one. MS is in a much better position here, and NVidia also has one in…
I would argue that there are a couple of innovations here that haven't been tried (to my knowledge) by the previous attempts. One is the wifi directly connected controller (so it bypasses the display device for lowering input latency), the other is, supposedly, advance algorithms to estimate inputs to reduce lag. The latter, of course, is something that FPS servers have been doing for a while but I don't believe this has been tried before in terms of cloud game streaming.

But the issue is that the games with 4k, are currently only upscaled to 4k - https://9to5google.com/2019/11/20/stadia-4k-games-quality/
Oh yeah the whole thing is kind of a shit show right now but that's what they're pitching so I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt for the moment and treating this like one big early access trial for the minute. From all indications this launch came in incredibly hot with the lineup doubling at the last minute, almost as if they had some last minute major issues with some of their Linux ports.
Two of those games are motion type games (dance, exercise).
The stadia controller doesn’t have motion controls.
Those games are useless, who’ll pay $60 for them?

Glass cost money, more than 10x what this cost, and that was not a signal of their long term ambition. The problem with Stadia is that it costs money, the service costs a monthly fee, and on top of it you have to buy the games. What happens to those games if you stop paying the fee? If you stop using Stadia? If Google deprecates Stadia like many are worried. I'll tell you: you lose the game. If I, conversely, buy the…
If I could play high-end complex modern AAA games like RDR2 on my iPad Pro while traveling, I think there's a valuable proposition there. But ironically that's exactly the area where Stadia falls flat: internet connections are weak or nonexistent while traveling, and currently it's not even usable from an iPad.
Get a PS, take the dual shock with you, sync it with your iPad and enjoy streaming games from back home, using the free app.

> A second point, sometimes i play coop games with my wife. Its nice not needing 2 consoles or gaming pc's. One can play on the TV and the other on a tablet or cheap laptop. Unless you have (particularly good) fiber, this probably won't happen. The bandwidth requirements are too high. > No wasting time downloading/installing games. No patches. Just games ready to play. FWIW, all of the current generation consoles (ev…
I do have gigabit fiber. On my Xbox I often don't get around to pre-ordering games and there is limited disk space so if I want to play a old game I have to wait again.
I bought a 2TB SSD for my XBox One and I never looked back.

#597Sorry, but pet peeve. Shutdown is not a verb. (should be "shut down") http://notaverb.com/shutdown
Sorry, but readers think it is.

I don’t disagree with your main point about losing games, but the fee is strictly for Stadia Pro, which permits 4K and 5.1 surround sound. Stadia Base is free and will launch in February, but only permits up to 1080p and stereo sound. You still obviously also need to buy the games though (except F2P). They’re using the “Founder’s Edition” almost like Early Access. If you have Stadia Pro and you stop paying, you lose…
> If you have Stadia Pro and you stop paying, you lose access to the free games that are included with Pro, which right now are Destiny 2 and Samurai Showdown. This is the same as Xbox Live Gold and the Free Games with Gold. Games With Gold are actually free. You need the Gold membership to get them, but you can unsubscribe - they're yours. Edit: You may be thinking of Game Pass, which behaves in the way you describe…
Nope. I’m not mistaken. What you’re talking about only applies to Xbox 360. For Xbox One, you lose access to your claimed Free Games with Gold when your subscription lapses until you resubscribe. The same is true for the free games to PlayStation Plus subscribers.

Unless email servers have gotten a lot more turnkey in the last few years, I'm gonna disagree with this, sorry. :) I can get nginx running on most systems with literally a couple commands ("package-manager-thing install nginx" and "service-manager-thing start nginx"). Getting a mail server running -- at least in any form that qualifies as "Gmail replacement" -- seems to involve "install postfix, immediately edit the…

While I don't have to set up a mail server any time soon, I am absolutely bookmarking this. :)

I have tried it in the past, but it just ain't the same, I wasn't filled with joy and its UI annoyed me. Maybe I'll try again.
I am pretty sure that I tried Feedly in the post-"Oh no, Google Reader is going away!" panic everyone else using the service was in at the time, and like you I could not replicate the feel. The Old Reader was the closest alternative I found among the several I tried, but soon afterwards Inoreader appeared with a very, very, very close-to-Google Reader feel, and I've been extremely happy on it ever since. (If only Ino…
Thanks for the link, but sadly...
