Stadia is a terrible platform. Its just adding another walled garden. Makes no sense.Zeratul56 - Thursday, August 27, 2020 - link
It generated a lot of defenders and detractors though, made for great entertainment to watch both sides bicker.PeachNCream - Saturday, August 29, 2020 - link
I think game streaming services have a future. They can already deliver an acceptable experience in single player titles IF your internet connection is sufficiently fast and responsive. The wrinkle is that lots and lots of people still have slow connections with draconian data caps (local cable ISP here gives you 25mbit but after the first 20GB of downstream data, they limit your connection to 1mbit). Stadia, I think, doesn't do game streaming any justice. NV is probably the closest to ideal at present on the PC side. Sony's streaming for PlayStation games is okay as well if you don't mind the console-oriented nature of their library.At the end of it all, I think game streaming is going to replace local graphics processing in a large number of places that do have acceptable ISP access because dGPU pricing has gotten pretty insane lately and that's disregarding the other components that come along with it if one wants a computer with passable capabilities.

That wouldn't make sense. You'll never beat the 1ms latency of in-city internet connectivity. I've used moonlight game streaming while at work. 1080p 144Hz streaming. Even did some 4K60. And you almost couldn't tell you were even playing remotely. I've done the beta tests for all the streaming platforms and they've been horrible. Latency would be better if their datacenter was in your city, but even then...you're dealing with crap resolution/graphics settings. Even putting aside the $499 RTX 3070 that was just launched, it'd make more sense for you to stream games from your Xbox/PS5 since your games will already be loaded there, they have hardware encoding, and will have the lowest latency possible. And if you're a PC gamer....easy. You've been able to do proper 120Hz+ streaming since Pascal. And it's gotten even easier with the new RTX lineup.martixy - Sunday, August 30, 2020 - link
Sure it does. It's for when you can't sit in front your personal battlestation.It will run on the hotel TV, for games that are not latency sensitive (or even those that are if you're willing to suck up the delay).
Business side is a separate matter, but the tech has its niche.

PDT, EDT, BST. Why not to use universal UTC?Ian Cutress - Friday, August 28, 2020 - link
