I appreciate the sentiment here, but this feels incredibly reactive and preliminary.
Stadia should have more clearly set launch expectations: there are only a few games worth playing for, most of the cool cloud features aren't there, etc, etc
But that doesn't mean all of those things aren't coming? For all intents and purposes, this was a soft launch. Sure Google is going to burn a ton of consumers by launching before the true value-adds are there, but it doesn't mean that one-day Stadia won't be worth buying.
- tux1968 7y agoThat isn't the issue -- it isn't a comment about the quality of Stadia today or even what is possible. It's a comment about Google's propensity to lose interest in products and services and shut them down.
- MaximumMadness 7y agoI think the two are inherently connected, no? By assuming Stadia is a failed product out of the box, we just label it as another Google product that is waiting to be shut down. Google is on the hook for a bunch of titles and features they haven't delivered yet, if they were to "lose interest" in the next six months to a year I'd be pretty suprised
