    No, how could I try it? it doesn’t exist anymore. Poor tiny little startup Google, bullied by the big bad user mob who paid for the service they sold and actually expected to receive what they had bought.

      True but in the past ?

      So you didn’t play it but are just parroting what others have said ?

      Well I have actually used the product. I’ve used it on a phone VPN to America because they didn’t release worldwide.

      It worked. It worked well. So not sure what the issue was. They stopped because they didn’t get enough sign up. But didn’t advertise barely got games and were mostly in North America.

      People who would buy a cheap non console would be the rest of the world. Africa India maybe China if they could get in. Plenty other areas were ripe for this kinda work.

      Try GeForce. It’s free for an hour and works on steam and epic games. Can try free games too like destiny.

        I’m not from the USA, how could I possibly have tried it? It died before it could’ve even become a product. Even if they would’ve gone to rural areas or the developing world it would’ve failed because there’s not sturdy enough infrastructure to support the service. And as the experience proved, not even South California has enough infrastructure to support the service without massive lag. I remember reading that even people with Google Fiber had issues. So it was a failed service for a strong technical reason, not just the awful marketing and even worse service offering. Paying a subscription and buying games was the most removed move Google made at the moment, but they make so many stupid moves so frequently that it’s hard to tell if it was the worst.

          It was put in Europe as well and as I previously stated I could vpn from middle of nowhere.

          It was out for 2 and a bit years but I get that.

          Well again no. It required a 10mbs speed so plenty places have access to it. Not everywhere but a good chunk of the planet. Similar places where you’d also struggle to download a patch for Xbox or PlayStation.

          You are talking shite as evident. You are quoting articles that attacked stadia from day 1. Plenty people played and enjoyed it all over the world. Was it perfect absolutely not. Was it a brand new cloud gaming system, absolutely.

          For a first generation system it had plenty of flaws but could you play games from the cloud. Yes. Which is exactly what I wanted and it did that job.

          Again no. Not really I thing. You don’t know what you are talking about as you are just parroting articles that flames it.

          Stadia had two tiers. Paid and free.

          You could buy games like any other platform. PS5 Xbox steam.

          There was also paid tier which was similar to game pass. So you got free games to play each month.

          Do yourself a favour and do a bit of background reading before spouting talking pieces from agenda driven articles.
