I’ve always admired Google for seeing the future specifically in terms of mass adoption rather than just technological capability.
Hardcore gamers may revolt, but that’s not the audience. The barrier to mass adoption is not higher FPS or better rendering or addictive gameplay. Those are all amazing already. The barrier is buying a high-end gaming rig and a bunch of expensive titles, and then spending an hour on download and installation every time. Now the operant conditioning loop is reduced to seconds. (Note: IANAG)
- _bxg1 8y agoThis comment falls into the pattern the pattern I've been seeing: people who like technology but don't care about games (including Sundar Pichai himself) are enamored with Stadia. People who actually care about games are very concerned about what it'll do to the industry. It's not (mainly) the technology that's in doubt; Google is great at technology. The fear is in the way it'll change the status quo between people who play games and companies that make them.
