What makes you think games would just be included in Stadia?
Competing streaming services here are around $10-20/month without any games included. Origin's game access is $15/month without any game playing hardware included.
So... what will stradia end up being, and at what price? Would you pay $30/month for this? When a PS4/Xbox is only $300-400 in the first place, and has a lifespan of ~5 years?
- diminoten 8y agoOrigin does not compete with Stradia, sorry.
- kllrnohj 8y agoI didn't say it did, sorry.
- diminoten 8y agoOh okay, in that case there's no real example you've given for the cost, so $30 may or may not be the cost, but considering a high-end rig approaches $3k and is relevant for 5 years, $30 is a great deal, especially if you get access to a large game library, which is what's happening. Origin isn't relevant to this conversation.
- kllrnohj 8y agoEr... What? $15/month for a streaming service + $15/month for game access service equals, drum roll, $30/month. What are you not getting here? Origin is relevant as a reference point for what the games themselves cost on a subscription. Stadia still needs to actually pay for games, after all. Either as a subscription (reference origin's pricing), or you straight up buy them at the normal $60/pop.
- diminoten 8y agoDid you miss me saying "$30 is a great deal" or something?
