Right but you wouldn't buy them on Stadia either for similar reasons. That's their point. You would just buy them on Steam or console to play locally and have better performance.
You still have the games though, you're comparing two entirely different forms of withdrawal. If you lost it on Stadia that's way worse than losing a game you own on Steam from Nvidia, because you didn't lose the game, just the means to play it with (which can be replaced)

Wouldn't expect you to lose games on Stadia unless the service goes down though, at least not the ones you purchased there.
I've read multiple ppl make the same assumption, but Google is a publicly traded company. They can't lose money on Stadia forever.
More importantly, it's not like Microsoft is standing still until this studio releases a game in 2025. I think a good analogy is Disney+ vs Netflix. Imagine if Disney+ launched without any Marvel, Pixar, or Star Wars movies and Mandalorian didn't come out until 2023. Now imagine if Disney owned none of those IPs and planned to create both content and an audience for that content after launching the service. Why on Earth would anyone subscribe?
Internet infrastructure isn't relevant, which is why Nvidia was able to leapfrog them when they gave ppl what they've been asking for: the ability to stream a bunch of games. The only way I think Stadia exists in a couple of years is if it starts purchasing exclusive streaming rights to games ppl already play immediately.
She doesn't have much more to prove in her career I imagine. If she can find something that pays her well and gives her a better work-life balance, then I can understand why she would jump at it.Moneys money, but seems like a pretty poor career move? Wonder how all those people that got wrapped up in Amazon Games hodge podge feel a decade later.
Stadia has performance/IQ issues despite being in 1080p, and Stadia likely isn't long for this world as a platform. Nvidia is a supplement to games you own and play locally, so even is something is removed from the service you can still play it and you still own it. Games purchased on Stadia are stuck on Stadia. Stadia's library is also terrible.What similar reasons? Stadia is 1080p on the free tier (so better than xCloud) and devs aren't pulling their games. You could totally lose access to games if they closed the whole thing down but that's a little different to publishers literally yanking their games from the service after you've bought them. That (thankfully!) hasn't happened on Stadia yet. And if it did I assume you'd be good for a refund seeing as Google own the platform. Nvidia aren't refunding you for Steam games.
If anyone here saw the Raising Kratos documentary you could tell the development of GoW was very difficult for her, best of luck on the new studio.
Not to weigh in on the question of when or if Stadia will shut down, but hiring a big name to run a studio is hardly dispositive to that question either way. Ask Amy Hennig how her EA studio is doing.
I mean, they built two first party studios just now developing new IPs and acquired one other. It's going to take years for those games to come out, when they should have been built/acquired them years ago so they'd be ready for Stadia's launch.
Should I ask her just when she was hired or 3 and a half years years after that? Because it seems that Stadia just opened the studio...Not to weigh in on the question of when or if Stadia will shut down, but hiring a big name to run a studio is hardly dispositive to that question either way.

Anyone who thinks Google is going to shut this down anytime soon has no idea what they are talking about.
The goal posts just keep moving for Stadia commitment here.Staying alive and being a great gaming platform are two different things. What happened to those Amazon studios?
Don't do this.
Yes. However a new game from a new studio will be a few years out. Stadia could completely fall apart before that. It's a sign they want to try, it's not a sign that they will not completely close doors.The goal posts just keep moving for Stadia commitment here.
They have the platform and are creating studios from the ground up to leverage that platform.

Sorry on mobile, didn't mean to quote anyone with my reply.
Does an executive producer even have any creative input in the game design? I thought Cory Barlog was the mastermind behind GoW 2018

The tech did not exist for them yet. As mentioned Stadia is not a typical console launch
Damn she musr have gotten such an amazing offer to go there. Since she already had one of the highest positions of a single studio in the world. And with God of War's huge recognition she rose to stardom! (Also watch the free documentary Raising Kratos on YouTube which tells the whole GOW 2018 story, which she helmed).
Good luck to her, but I wonder who can fill her shoes as well as she did. I doubt Cory wants to, but perhaps the pay increase might be the thing to do it for him. Hopefully, he still has a lot of influence on GOW 2.
They also cancelled one of their announced games and laid off employees a while ago. New World also isn't without its controversies so Amazon Games Studios still has a lot to prove.
