Google is embracing the game streaming meme and only the dead will know peace from digital assistants' watchful eyes.

Seems kind of lackluster honestly. It's essentially a gaming service where having a good internet connection is essential if you want to get the most out of the games on offer.

And as someone with a horrible internet connection, this doesn't seem like the right thing for me.

Same.

Although this is only the beginning of game streaming platforms. This won't be going mainstream anytime in the near future. We can expect another console generation, maybe 2, before the global Internet infrastructure has developed to the point where everyone has good Internet, and only then can something like this actually become mainstream.

Game streaming needs to solve the high latency problem, bandwidth usage issues, and the always-online problem is inescapable. It doesn't seem like it will be practical or will fall far short of expectations.

I did a poll on Twitter asking gamers about which of the current gen consoles should be erased! And so far, the majority voted from the Google Stadia.

theres no way this wont flop. Google is trying to force themselves into a market they know nothing about and are not welcomed in. They're gonna get fucked. Hard.

Well at least they're not making "Google Battle Royale" or something along those lines.

I think this will only work as a way to train Google's AI more and normalize the idea of no longer owning physical property. I don't know if it's going to work though but I would imagine other companies doing something similar. Probably not in the too distant future consoles will come with digital assistants like Alexa embedded within, then later a company will take a leap and try integrating them in actual games more than what Stadia is trying to do, and it just spreads from that point. If you think about it tech companies have an incentive to spread their training data input as wide as possible and IoT would be the perfect grounds for that. It's bad, folks.

Oh dear that would be annoying. Imagine instead of having tutorials it's just Alexa telling the player how to push the control stick.

Imagine in the future, where tutorials get to the point where the game automatically presses the input for you.
