Stadia worked really well for me (midwest US), but the other services haven't been as reliable. Back on hardware for me. SteamDeck is really nice at least.

- diggan 2y agoHeh, I'd give it a try, but I didn't even have time to try it out before it disappeared :)
- myko 2y agoI think it was around for a couple of years and I bought a ton of games on it. When Google sunk it they refunded my purchases, which was nice. What's funny is I think if Google had said upfront "if we kill this service we'll refund all your games/hardware purchases" they'd have got a lot more traction.
- solardev 2y agoYou should give Geforce Now a try. It's dramatically better than Stadia. (I used both.) GFN has much more powerful graphics (because they're Nvidia), supports 4k, 10-bit color, HDR, ultrawide, etc. Nvidia Reflex helps with latency. You can use your own Steam or Epic or Microsoft library and play with those players. You don't have to rebuy the games like you did in Stadia. And Nvidia actually cares about it and is constantly improving it. Google abandoned Stadia pretty much right after launch because they're Google.
- myko 2y agoYeah, I had GeForce now when it first came out and the Steam library sharing was dope. It just seemed to lag and drop frames a lot where Stadia was seamless. I'm sure GeForce Now has improved a lot since then. I should give it another shot. I miss gaming in bed from my iPad.
