Please describe the scenario in which it is at "no cost".
You already own a device that has chrome and you play the base version of stadia, there you just got 11 Tflops for no cost
Play what on the base version of Stadia.
No, we didn't all know this. All this time I was under the impression that Stadia WAS Netflix for games and that's the reason it was attractive to me. If I ever had friends over who wanted to play a certain game that I don't have on Ps4 or Ps5 but they wanted to play it, I thought if I had Stadia then I could just stream it and we could play it right away.
Your drive that has the games on them would still work. Or your disk based copies you purchased. Or your backed up copies. Your argument is the equivalent of "If my house burned down with all of my games in them how would I play them?". There is always some risk to anything one would own.
I doubt they'll use a full 11Tflop instance for the free tier.
I was saying if it died completely like the hard drive died and psn was down
Again, if you backed them up, no problem. The point is, you still have the ability to retrieve and play what you purchased. If you don't back up your digital copies, that's on you. With Stadia, you have absolutely no choice in the matter. If they shut the service off, you get nothing.
The games are being ported to specific specs, everyone will have the same specs
I didn't say games were free I said the 11 Tflops was little to no cost
You don't get a game console when you buy a console game.
It makes absolutely no sense for them to charge $9.99 a month for the Pro tier if they are going to use the same amount of horsepower in the cloud for the free tier.
Either way it's possible to lose your game's no matter what you do or what service it is, you could say some are easier to lose than others but it's still possible to lose them
You still get the same specs they are just holding back the resolution
Then that's on you, it's been clear since its announcement in June.
They didn't say anything about the base version getting less power in the presentation so that's what I'm going by
home WiFi, and wherever there's good enough public/hotel WiFi
If the whole concern about the ownership is about not having the files on the computer then I'm certainly screwed. I have 4 games installed right now on my PC, the rest are just purchased licenses tied to my Steam account, which you say is nothing. So with your thinking I essentially just own 4 games, which has cost me nearly $2,000. Great. :s
Or pc, I see it more as a pc replacement for me because there's too many exclusives I like on Nintendo and sony
Nice, looks like people are becoming more aware of how great a deal it is when it comes to money cost
That's the Stadia reddit, people aren't as negative there.
Yes there's so many positives, then people talk about like 1 negative on how you own the games and ignore all those positives because of that 1 negative
Yea i have GeForce now, played tomb raider from beginning to end, plus many other games. Just started playing it without downloading or anything, was the most impressed I've been this gen really
This too the free base version could be a great side platform
I don't think you'll be getting hotel wifi good enough to stream at any meaningful resolution. I maintain my stance that the down/up speed is going to handicap the "game anywhere, anytime" part of Stadia.
Some places I've been to have good enough internet and some don't, depends where I go, I'm going to always have a phone or tablet with me anyway so if it works, great and if doesn't no big deal
