Except that you can’t actually use stadia to play on the low end equipment you already have.
It only works on a select few high end phones, it only works on the most expensive chrome cast, and it requires a high end internet connection. The people who have the money for that stuff is likely to easily afford a Nintendo Switch which can actually be used for gaming everywhere without needing an internet connection.

That's about as low end as it gets for both measures. Does it require a high end phone to play on a phone? Yup. Does it require a Chromecast Ultra for higher resolutions and a higher speed internet connection (35 Mbit/s) to play on a TV? Definitely. But you can play on Stadia for less than a Nintendo Switch even if you add together the cost of a chromebook and an xbox game controller. Which is what I use on my laptop to play Stadia games.
- Traster 7y agoOkay, so you have a choice between a cheap Chromebook or an Xbox One at literally identical price points. Except the Xbox one actually comes with the xbox controller with games custom built to use the xbox controller.

- daemin 7y agoWell 10mbit is nice, until someone in the house starts streaming a video as well.
- p1necone 7y agoYes, I believe that's the point the poster is trying to make. The restrictions google is putting on the service currently aren't necessary, and are hurting the product.
