The problem is the pricing model. All of their competitors work on a subscription model that comes with a pre-existing library of games, while stadia requires you to pay full box-price for all the games you play. If it weren't such a rip-off it'd be more popular, it performs very well at this point.
- Agingcoder 5y agoGeforcenow does not come with a pre-existing library of games. However, you can buy games in regular app stores ( steam, etc) at discounted prices. About stadia, the uncertain future (it's a Google product) and the fact your games can't be played outside stadia make it look like a risky bet. That being said, you're right, the stadia pricing model is quite unappealing.
- paxys 5y agoThe difference is Geforce Now works with your existing Steam library. You don't need to re-buy games you already known, and if the service shuts down the games are still yours to keep and play on your own hardware. If I spend hundreds on dollars on Stadia games today, is there any guarantee that I'll still be able to play them a month from now?
- idrum4316 5y agoI prefer Stadia’s pricing model. I’ve gotten tired of everything requiring a subscription.
