Yep
Remember... Google Stadia is free for 1080p.
You still have to pay for the games..
I don't trust my ISP to provide the level of service that Stadia requires.
Though to be fair, I could be judging my ISP based on how sh*tty and pixellated the Netflix stream can get.
Whelp, after thinking about it some more, I decided to preorder. Destiny 2 isn't exactly something I'm overly interested in, but here's to the other "free" games!

I pre-ordered mostly for the controller/ chromecast/ early access. I doubt I'll keep up the subscription. I don't have a living room set up and figure it might help me introduce the kid to gaming a little better than him banging the keyboard in minecraft. I'm not really interested in Destiny, but I'll probably give it a try.
I'm mostly thinking Borderlands and the new Jedi game if EA allows it on stadia will be where I get my feet wet. And HOLY sh*t RDR2 just got tweeted out as an announcement. Red Dead on PC?! I'm not sure I have that much time... damn... lol

True. But unlike my aging i3 I wont have to pay for upgrades to the hardware. So for people like me buying just the games is a lot cheaper.
This is what I consider the exact target audience. People that don't want to pay to upgrade.
I had a great experience with Assassin's Creed Odyssey. The RDR2 annoucement pretty much puts me over the top. I can close my office door at work and play on my lunch break on my crappy work PC? Yes.

Assuming your workplace doesn’t block it...

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....
Of course I would only use it on my lunch hour but still it is an option.

Google Stadia's VP of engineering claims that Stadia will be "faster and more responsive" than local gaming hardware in "a year or two""Negative latency" will allow Stadia to predict your next button press/movement/action and do the input for you
Long have I yearned for the day when technology advances enough to liberate me from the exhausting tedium of actually playing video games for myself.
I continue to get the impression that the executive visionaries at the helm of this gaming service have almost no understanding of why people play games.

I used to joke that every time you got a new rig, for a short while at least, it would seem so fast that it seemed like it ran commands a microsecond before you actually clicked a button.
It seems we are indeed living in the future!
Full snark response: This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. I mean, c'mon... Google algorithms are so good they've never messed anything up before right? *cough* YouTube *cough*

You say that, buuuuuuuuuuut it already happens in online games to a certain extent and there's a huge love for idle games and autoplay that I don't think knee jerk hot takes are entirely the proper response here.
Don't get me wrong, it's not a statement I think they should have made because it's the typical sort of head in the cloud crap we get from Silicon Valley that fizzles when it meats reality, but the idea behind it all isn't entirely out of left field.
when it meats reality
I hope that was on purpose.

Nope! But I'm leaving it now!
I’m just shocked they could get a flux capacitor in the controller for so cheap. It’s super amazing!
After thousands of hours of painstaking research, Google designers have announced that a circle is still the optimal shape for most wheels.
I'm in, providing Stadia has backwards compatibility...
edit: (probably should have stuck a in there, I'd been reading all the bc chatter over in the PS5 thread.)
Anyone heard news on EA titles yet? So far I've just seen that EA will partner with Stadia at some point. I really want to do the new Jedi game on Stadia.

EA is working on its own cloud gaming service.

I know it's a pipe dream... but still want it to work.
EDIT: To this day I still hate Origin. Always fussy for me.
First look at the UI?
