Guys, you left out how the Juicero didn't actually juice fruit. It just squeezed little bags of concentrate that you could easily do by hand.

Also surprised that nobody mentioned Valve's Powerplay initiative here.

So it’s sorta like how for some games Stadia doesn’t actually deliver 4K content, but rather 1080p gameplay that’s upscaled to 4K?
 
Daniel Ibbertson of Slopes Game Room gives the Google Stadia a positive review
It's only exclusive is a game called GYLT which costs £ 30.00 and is only about 3 or 4 hours long and is fairly easy. Aside from the game crashing (or Stadia crashing?) it seemed perfectly fine. He claims to have had no latency issues with the thing while streaming at the same time.

A controller is like a steering wheel. It is purely functional. There's no such thing as a 'gendered' controller. Nearly all prior controllers were either grey, black or white. The XBOX buttons were primary colors. Nothing about their design or coloration could be considered remotely gendered in any era, ever. This is google being fucktarded and trying to drum up something, anything for the Stadia. Even progtards will be scratching their head over this one.

"Oh we're offering them in multiple colors!"

Fuckfaces at Google, this isn't 1993. Different colored controllers aren't innovative anymore. You are fucking stupid and clearly don't know gaming, remotely. Like not even in the casual sense of the word. Microsoft design lab has been a thing for two years plus. Custom controller shops even longer. Third party and official different colored and controller editions longer than that.

You dumb fucking idiots. This is aggravating for simply how fucking dumb they are.

It's free on Steam, though. Well, except Shadowkeep.

That's part of the joke. Its not free on Stadia (except with a sub), because Bungie had to actively port it to the Stadia which cost them money. So a F2P game (base) everywhere is costing money on the Stadia because its a port. Meaning games will always be more expensive on the Stadia unless Google themselves pay for it, which is hysterical. Games you stream, by an stretch of logic since you don't actually download them or need DRM for them should be cheaper.

If they wanted proper gender progressive controllers they should have created different sizes for different hands.

I guess I was just so dumbfounded by them buying Stadia for Destiny 2 that I became dumb myself.

That would require engineering and clearly Google doesn't do that anymore.

They're technically not 'buying' it, its with a subscription (I think the elite one, where you get 4k gaming and destroy your internet for your entire household). At least most of them aren't, but some certainly are. It might be cheaper than other titles too. And I don't know if that's with the expansion that makes it good or not.

Um, OK boomer! I actually paid 50 extra dollars to get an unlimited internet plan because I use 5 terabytes a month! Do you seriously have a data cap????😂😂😂😂😂😂
 
OH LOOK LOOK WE GET TO SEE THIS GEM AGAIN FOR THE 87TH TIME THIS YEAR

I’m sick of people using this as a valid argument.
 
The Asian man that reads you the news talks about Stadia. Mostly him commentating over a Stadia advertisement video.
He mentions problems with it such as over heating, false advertising, screen switching limitations, and, no crossplay (destiny 2 cited)
 
Google still hasn't said you keep your game purchases when this thing eventually dies right? If people want to enjoy the novelty of it, fine I guess, but the complete lack of care for potentially losing all of their full priced games because Google gets bored of supporting the Stadia I'm seeing from some of these guys is boggling.

That said, what in the fuck people? Just go to gamestop and buy a used console. All of this money being used to play old ports now with the bonus of horrible latency and fucking your datacap

Nope, they've always dodged that question. I don't think there are any laws against it, either. When Stadia dies, your games will go with it.

The thing is since the games are on the cloud, once the servers go off, that's all she wrote. Its not like Steam or GoG, where if Steam goes down there's probably a way to download and have them forever. Same with GoG.

Not so with Stadia. The law hasn't caught up to digital copies yet, its barely even considered it. Cloud services with streaming is a whole other ballgame. With Netflix and Hulu and such, you're basically paying for the service of streaming and licensing. Its basically like your own personal blockbuster, where you can watch unlimited with a membership. If the store goes down, technically you aren't owed, because the thing you were paying for was the ability to rent all this content.

On the other hand, with Stadia, you're basically paying to own something that you're effectively renting. Each game is full price or equivalent to a digital or physical copy. Its not actually renting, because you're paying full price to own something. So you technically own the game. The Stadia fee is renting out the Google servers to play something that you own. That's why Stadia is a fucking idiotic concept.

For example, I pay $10 bucks a month to PlaystationNow and Stream PS games on my PC and Sony decides to shut down the service, I'm not owed, because I'm technically renting their entire library. Its also highly, HIGHLY unlikely that they shut the service down since they're probably using their own servers. So I can safely subscribe to PlaystationNow and be confident that the service is going to last for a very long time. Not so with Stadia. Google is not a videogame company like Sony or even Valve.

With Stadia, I'm not only paying to own a game, I'm paying for their service. So if their service goes down, there's simply no way to play that game anymore. Yes, technically I own it, but you don't really. You own a license to play it on Google's Servers. If those servers go down, too fucking bad. Digital is much easier to make a case for that you bought a product on your PC and it is yours. For example, even games that have been removed from purchase on Steam due to Steam losing the license or copyright conflicts or whatever, if I bought that game, I can download it in perpetuity and play it. Nobody else can buy it, because the license is no longer offered. As long as I bought it, I own the license to use it on a PC. So as long as you own the hardware, you can use it. Very simple.

What happens if you are buying a license to use on someone else's hardware? You are shit out of fucking luck, that's what you are. With the way Google cancels and stops products, you're an absolute fucking moron to even touch this thing with a ten foot pole. The argument that Google can make is very simple: You own a license to play those games on Google's servers and the fee you pay is the rental of that equipment. If they no longer chose to rent equipment, you still have the license, but they are under no obligation to offer the hardware to play them. Like if I own a license for software for defunct hardware, I still have the license, but since the hardware is no longer being sold, I better pray that my shit doesn't break or you're fucked. The company is under no obligation to continue producing or offering that hardware if they cannot afford it. That's what Google is going to argue if they shut it down and I think they've got a pretty good case for that. Caveat Emptor.

The whole concept is fucking idiotic unless you're paying for something like PlayStation Now or a Netflix equivalent for games. Where you just pay a flat subscription fee and get access to a library. Cloud gaming as Stadia is doing it is not the future, because there is absolutely no guarantees that whatever you purchase will exist in four or five years time.

Nobody is. They're lying to themselves, just like every single person that bought an Ouya.

Just got an Ouya! It is worth every penny! Amazing Frog and Duck Game are so much fun! The system’s really portable too! I can take it anywhere! I showed it to my dad, and he said it was magic! I still haven’t gotten a chance to play!
