    Lots of hostility and name calling, are you ok?

    Also, I didn’t down vote your comment.

    I didn’t realize they allowed people to stream purchased games for free, my mistake, thank you for the correction. According to IGN article, the free games were if you had a subscription.

    It’s a mystery why cloud gamers didn’t flock to google then. My core point about stadia not being competitive with geforce now and shadow stills stands, even though I got the details wrong about being about to stream purchased games for free.

      Another stadia user here.

      I loved the service but he neglected to tell you cyberpunk looked like hot garbage compared to its PC equivalent.

      I pretty much only used it for Destiny, and I too spent hundreds of dollars supporting the platform only to get it all back.

      The convenience was wonderful, but worthless if they didn’t have what you wanted to play, and Google became less and less interested in working with developers as time went on.
