Stadia launched in 2019.
- silisili 4y agoStadia wasn't really that innovative, how many times has cloud/streaming gaming been done before? I can think of at least 3. Also, it's already dead.
- Sebguer 4y agoYeah, OnLive did it back in 2003!
- mertd 4y agoWhich three? Did they actually work with reasonable input latency?
- silisili 4y agoI thought of OnLive, Shadow, and Geforce Now. The only one of those I'd used was Geforce Now, and found it very similar to Stadia wrt latency. Stadia had a much nicer interface, though.
- bee_rider 4y agoThe discussion was about innovative products. An already explored idea, but executed properly, only counts as innovative if Apple does it. And even then, it only ran for a couple years, so even if we want to give points for taking an idea and making it work, they don’t pass there either.

- josu 4y agoStadia worked much better than the competition. It was the first time that cloud gaming had no tradeoffs. Definitely a lot of innovation behind the curtains.
- bobthepanda 4y agoI suppose successful new product? It’s already closed.
- kec 4y agoOnLive was 2009, PS Now was 2014, and Geforce Now launched in 2015. Stadia might have been well executed from a technical standpoint but AAA game streaming wasn't exactly a new and innovative idea in 2019.
