Found this massive cope over on /g/, but I can't find the actual post (probably deleted)

I wonder how many reddit cucks will not take their refund because Stadia gave them so much fun, that Google deserves their money.

Remember when Google Stadia had that GDC display where they sat it next to three of gaming history's most famous failures? Now that display seems like hilarious foreshadowing.

You shut your whore mouth about the Dreamcast, you’ll never get a Skies of Arcadia remaster with that attitude.
 
The rest of the foreseeable future is going to be re-selling the same 20 year old shit to NPCs over and over again by just getting everyone on some shitty streaming service, then killing it off, and re-creating it. Imagine going back in time to the 90s and telling yourself that in the future, everyone would be obsessed with not owning any of the movies or games they pay for. It fucking blows my mind how normies think that if you have a media server in your house, this makes you an autist/loser while they are paying 20% of their monthly income on streaming services because they really like this one show that's only available on one network, so they pay for it just for that. Somehow that makes them winners and makes them trendy. The goal now is to get everyone hooked into the system so they can just turn it all off and make everyone pay again or selectively turn it off for people they don't like to turn them into outcasts. IMAGINE -WANTING- TO PAY MONEY TO RENT GAMES WHEN YOU COULD BUY A COPY AND HAVE IT FOREVER

Dreamcast was still one of the only consoles with hall effect sensors in it's joysticks, or optical ones, instead of potentiometers which gets rid of most wear and tear and makes them last far longer and avoid drifting issues. Somehow nobody else has decided to use them since, and I'm sure it's not a good reason.

Oh no, I agree the Dreamcast was awesome, the problem was that SEGA's stupid decisions throughout the 90s (the Genesis CD add-on, the 32X, the Saturn's botched American launch, and failing to partner up with Sony, SGI, and 3Dfx), plus the looming black slab that was the PS2, ensured it never stood a chance - it was literally SEGA's least-selling console ever, at 9.13 million units. So yes, it was a failure. A noble failure, unlike the other two exhibits, but a failure nonetheless.

Red Dead Online's biggest superfan may lose 6,000 hours of progress on Stadia​

Some developers working on projects for Google's soon-to-be shut down Stadia cloud gaming platform have had the rug pulled out from under them. Plenty of gamers are losing save progress and a go-to platform. Arguably no one has been more punked than YouTuber and TikTok creator Colour, who, as reported by GamesRadar, has over 6,000 hours on the Stadia version of Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption Online 2. All that rootin' tootin' cowboy fun is about to be lost to time, like tears in rain. 6,000 hours is an utterly staggering amount of time to spend on anything. This isn't your usual "spent too much time on a game," this is 250 days. I've been an avid barbell and kettlebell lifter for five years, reaching a point I'd comfortably call "intermediate to advanced." Back of the napkin math puts me at 1,500-2,000 hours actively pursuing one of my main hobbies in that time.

Further manic, frenzied calculations lead me to conclude that 6,000 hours of RDR Online 2 since its Stadia release in November 2018 has Colour averaging over four hours a day. If you allow for a weekend, it's closer to six hours. Granted, Colour does do a lot of content creation for RDR Online 2, being the "RDR Online 2 on Stadia person" is kind of their thing, but I still find this to be an utterly maddening amount of gameplay! This is my Pepe Sylvia. Forget the logistics of it all though, Colour's time investment in Red Dead Online is in grave danger of becoming one of those Libraries of Alexandria that's constantly burned down on the internet every day. It doesn't have to be this way.

There are methods to transfer single player progress from RDR2 on Stadia to PC, just not the multiplayer transfer Colour requires. Other developers with Stadia ports like IO Interactive and Bungie are actively working on methods to allow players to transfer their data to another platform. Colour, for their part, is hoping for a "one-time character transfer" to save their progress from the jaws of oblivion. We've reached out to Rockstar for comment, and will update this story if we hear back. I may not be able to wrap my head around Colour's investment of time and psyche into Read Dead Redemption Online 2 on Stadia, but I can admire the devotion. I hope Rockstar is able to help them before the winds of fate blow Colour's progress away like some digital sand mandala.

The people who sail the 7 seas will win in the end. My opinions remain unchanged that the torrenting community will remain the ultimate archivers and librarians of digital content. Combine that with developers who work on emulators to keep old games alive and running on modern hardware. Godsneed to all those torrenters and seeders.
 
Props to Ubisoft of all fucking companies for at least offering a decent Stadia migration policy: granting people who were dumb enough to buy Stadia copies of their games free pc copies and save transfers via uplay/ubisoft connect.
