Google has said that in spite of the monthly subscription fee, those who use Stadia will still have to pay full price for the games that they stream.
Google Stadia Chief Phil Harrison has said that he has no idea why people might think games would be cheaper for the streaming platform, which requires users to pay a subscription fee and have an extremely fast internet connection in order to play games that they may lose access to if Google decides to cease providing the service.
Harrison has stated that the value of the subscription instead lies in the fact that games can be played on any device, also claiming that the Stadia version of any “is going to be at the highest possible quality of innovation and sophistication on the game engine side”.
It’s like buying a car and then the car salesman won’t let you take it home but promises to let you drive any time you want (until he doesn’t). This whole thing is designed to appeal to 100% emasculated cucks.
But then you realize your roads are in a bad state, the car is designed to run on perfectly flat asphalt, and you need to move to your destination faster than the speed limit, so you can’t use it anyway.
If you are too dumb to buy a car that runs on your street, that is YOUR problem not the salesman’s.
@17:42 read again. Think again.
I don’t think you understood the analogy here…
They meant all the connection issues your shitty ISPs in the US are guilty of, with next to no competition anywhere so you can’t go with a different ISP.
Google’s based in commiefornia. Plenty of emasculated cucks to milk over there…
Commie not exist after stalin death.
Don’t forget that you have to pay the salesman a monthly fee or he will just take your car (that you paid full price for) away from you.
you mean like buying a Ferrari FXX?
YES, THEY ACTUALLY DID THIS.
I’m pretty sure you can buy a game on Steam and play it on Stadia, and you can move offline any time you want if your PC can handle the said game.
this is 100% FM. If you cant afford it dont play games lol dumb communist
Or use your money on actual hardware you own and physical copies of the games. Then you can play whenever you feel like it without having to ask for Google’s permission.
I agree. Even with digital, many stores (including Steam) allow you to download and play offline without DRM. GoG and Humble being the big ones that do this.
If you have a large separate hard drive (like a 2TB spinner) just for games, you can just keep the games on there without having to redownload all the time. Plus you can accelerate that old-school disc with optane caching or something similar, like SSD caching for faster speeds.
You still cannot sell your game or give it to someone. So you don’t own anything, actually borrowing games.

June 30, 2019 at 17:40 even physical copies now require the internet….
Because of digital distribution which Valve normalized and popularized. Remember that obese jew Gabe said it was a bad thing that games used to have to be released finished and playable without a patch (at least on console) since they had no way of patching it.
PC gamers should have said no to Steam and digital distribution and instead demanded DRM free physical copies. SD cards and flash drives exist and could be used instead of discs so they can’t use the “no one has an optical drive” excuse.
And that is why people understandably “pirate”, they are tired of companies treating customers like garbage
What a fucking joke.. This wont’ last! Who the f♥♥k is going to pay them for streaming capability.. Fucking retards!
I’m glad they come up with these stupid policies. Add in some censorship and the inevitable outages whenever people actually want to play (e.g. weekends and holidays). Hopefully this stupid s♥♥t will fail fast and hard before any good game comes out as a streaming exclusive.
> Who the f♥♥k is going to pay them for streaming capability.. Fucking retards!
Retards with cheap and/or outdated hardware incapable to play Red Dead Redemption on its own. Promise is like playing Amiga quality games on Commodore 64.
>>Retards with cheap and/or outdated hardware incapable to play Red Dead Redemption on its own
And yet somehow said ‘retards’ will still need to have stable 35Mbit internet.
>Buy a subscription
>Buy a game
>Buy 100 DLC for the rest of the game
The bullshit today’s gamers are willing to deal with is astounding
just one more reason why I’m happy to say that I made the choice to not buy any postPS360 consoles and have completely forsaken the gaming industry
f♥♥k these assholes
Well, no, no one is actually paying for this subscription yet; I am fairly confident that it will fail, actually.
I still have the hope that the people supporting this are filthy casuals and not gamers. Problem is that filthy casuals are like 95% of people that buy games these days and all games are catering to filthy casuals, especially with their difficulty level, which is non-existent. (You even get filthy casuals pretending to be gamers and telling you they beat a “hard” game like Dark Souls, when that has a difficulty level for pussies.)
Not gamers, Streamers.
Streamers (twichers, dumbtubers) Buy ALL day 1.
2 filthy casuals have downvoted you 😀
“filthy casuals” don’t waste their time and money on a game that they may never actually get to play. Casuals will usually not waste on gachas/loot boxes and other dlc, and many old school gamers have become casuals because we loved buying a game and console (or computer) and being able to fully enjoy it without having to pay extra for stupid DLC that may not be available in the future should the provider decide to pull it out. At most we’d buy an extension pack if the game deserved it, BUT it was still physically available for us to continue using whenever.
If anything, most of the new generation hard core spenders… excuse me, gamers, are the real reason these BS companies are taking advantage of the gaming industry. Many of them are children running their parents wallets dry, sad to say.
You are probably butt-hurt because casual gamers have money to actually spend on stuff that matters in real life than just virtually on a game, which will be lost as soon as the power is out or internet is down.
You don’t make sense. Filthy casuals dominate the mobile space which is also basically equivalent with everything that is wrong with gaming these days. Gamers do their research before they buy. Filthy casuals just throw their money away. They’re used to buying $10 coffee everyday so DLC makes sense to them.
If gamers did their research then they wouldn’t have accepted regular digital distribution like Steam.
do not support google
Better pay for a graphic card then a Google subscription.
Agree. You don’t need to pay a lot if all you want is 1080p. So long as you have a recent desktop, there’s a decent chance you can just throw a GPU in (and maybe a new PSU) and you’re good to go for gaming.
Yeah, I have a 11 years old custom build PC with C2D E4500, DDR2 4GB, 9600GT and only need to upgrade it a bit.
+ C2Q Q9400 – $15
+ DDR2 800MHz 2GB x2 – $30
+ 1060 6GB – $95
Now it can play most game at 1080p 45-60+fps ultra preset.
