It is focused on technology solutions (no hardware! access anywhere!) producing an experience, rather than the end-experience people want: to play games Jason Schreier / @jasonschreier : So, yes, now that it's official - this is the main reason I've been so skeptical of Google Stadia. A Netflix model would be one thing, but who's going to buy games on a streaming-only platform? Microsoft has a great opportunity here to blow Google out of the water with Game Pass https://twitter.com/... Andrew Reiner / @andrew_reiner : Um...Google. A lot of us use Comcast and they're a bit evil about data. https://twitter.com/... @ohmdee : People are saying $10/month + normal game RRP makes Project Stadia DOA, but they're forgetting that this is meant to be instead of buying the latest and greatest console hardware each generation AND paying for their respective subscription services. https://www.techmeme.com/... William Jamal Richardson / @decolonialblack : I'd rather use my existing PC/Xbox/PS4 library and pay them 10/mo to play anywhere online with the people I'm already playing with. In the case of Xbox I'm sure they'll be rolling XCloud into either Gamepass or Live and I'll be getting 150 games from day one. @iperpido : Found this blog post. Seems like only Destiny 2 is included with the pro subscription at day one. And yes, you don't need the subscription ti stream games you buy, but you're limited to 1080p and stereo audio (no sorround) https://blog.google/... @ohmdee : “'We will sell these games like any other digital storefront,' Google's director of games Jack Buser tells The Verge.” Remember when everyone was freaking out and just assuming Google will catalyse a race to the bottom with free games? Good times. https://twitter.com/... @4tiles : I think it's great that Google is trying to get into the core game business, but this pricing is not competitive. Xbox and Playstation will easily beat this, especially now that Sony is using MS's cloud. Unusual for Google to not get pricing right. https://twitter.com/... Joe Ortiz / @leojtravis10 : Full price for games + $10+/month + America's shitty internet + Big Telecom (notably Comcast and Verizon) planning their own cloud gaming service that doesn't count towards usage = Potential total disaster for Google. In other words, DOA at least in the US. https://twitter.com/... William Jamal Richardson / @decolonialblack : Google bugging. You want me to pay full price for games to play on your platform (which granted is free) and the only way I can stream past 720p is to drop $10/mo (while getting some free games but only D2 right now)? LOL no. https://www.theverge.com/... Alex Hern / @alexhern : Marketing Stadia's not my job - but I think they've gone about it the wrong way. Don't emphasise the “pro” tier, or the 4K: emphasise the fact that you're offering the most powerful games console in the world for free. Joshua MacDougall / @freakinclever : Still have major doubts on whether the infrastructure is there to make this popular, but under $10 a month to have gaming Netflix if you can already afford the required internet speeds is pretty enticing to at least try out. https://twitter.com/... Nilay Patel / @reckless : Google's Stadia pricing makes a little bit of sense if you compare it to Xbox Live or PS Plus, I suppose. But against a regular console, paying $10/mo and then still having to buy games just seems silly? https://www.theverge.com/... David Ruddock / @rdrv3 : A free tier at 1080p is fine and dandy (in 2020, w/ no included games), but I see no grab out of the box for Stadia. Google's pitch will likely be “it just works,” but that will convince zero gamers, and I don't think it will do much to convince non-gamers they want to game. David Ruddock / @rdrv3 : $10 a month (probs) and “you'll have to buy most new games a la carte"so, RIP stadia https://techcrunch.com/...
