Friend of a friend story: one of the POs left days after launch, because they knew it would never replace consoles/desktops. It's really struggled to find footing since.
Personal theory: Stadia is a precursor to Rendering as a Service for AR/VR. It will be a long time before we can render a high-quality content for stereoscopic vision with a mobile device. But if you can solve the streaming problem, you can just offload it to the cloud. Issue is that any tracking lag that causes motionsickness now will just be magnified.
- solardev 4y agoIt's tempting to think there was some grand plan for Stadia, but more likely it was just another failed copycat like Google Plus. Game streaming tech was around before Stadia, and Nvidia is doing it much better now. I don't see how Google could ever compete directly with that unless they get into the GPU business themselves.
