Are you getting Google Stadia?

I need more info to decide. Mostly just the price and how games are going to be supported. Leaning towards yes, but price and game availability will be my primary concerns. Really interested in the technology. I have like ~400mbps down and no data caps, so I'm not concerned about some of the things some others are.
It's gotta be a monthly fee, right?
So yeah, for at least one month to try it out. Project Stream was super cool.

I'm already digital only and anyone that wants physical forever is kidding themselves.
But for "Stadia", it's not something you "get". The point is that everyone will have access to it. I'd be willing to try it out, though I imagine it'll be a few years until the internet in my area improves enough

We literally know nothing about pricing, game selection, no way for every one to test it on their set up, etc.
I know every member is legally obligated to make a thread on Stadia today, but chill

There's not necessarily anything to get. You don't need Google's controller and we don't know what the business model will be.
If it's anything like OnLive, there will probably be free trials so yeah I'll probably give those a shot just to get a feel for the video quality and latency. Then I'll go back to my high end PC and consoles and forget about it.

I mean, the appeal is that there isn't really anything TO get. It'll work with any USB controller and a Chrome browser, so it's more about whether I'll get a game that supports it. And if they have interesting exclusive content at launch - might as well try it out. But I'm not planning on getting Doom Eternal on the thing.
GeForce Now is much more in tune with what I'm looking for when it comes from a streaming service. I buy the game on Steam / Epic / Ubisoft / Origin / Etc, and it's there to stream. Right now in the beta, there's not even a monthly fee yet. Even with a monthly fee, I'd rather have a service like that than one where I buy the game on a Google platform that I can only place when streaming from Google.
I was really hoping that Stadia would go a step further than GeForce Now and really work with the above companies to consolidate libraries just for streaming purposes, in the same way Movies Anywhere works for iTunes, Amazon Video, Etc. As it stands, GeForce Now is the far superior service for my needs.

I'm going to say no. I already know xCloud will cover me, my ISP is bullshit that raises prices $2 every few months while lowering data caps annually.
I need to see more.
But ultimately, I definitely need to test it first with my connection before making a purchase/subscription.

With how good Project Stream did for me over other streaming services, I'm really interested in trying it out.
At this moment in time absolutely not. Where are the exclusive games?! Although I would like to see more.
It's not for me. Streaming at best is a good demo for if i'd want to purchase a game to play locally. I would definitely use it if there was any type of free service where I could use it for those purposes...
It would be smart of Google to involve non premium accounts like that to get as many users as possible.

This is like asking if you're "getting" YouTube.
They will absolutely do some sort of free trial, and it works with any controller. Sure, I'll try it. I think most people will. This shit will be heavily pushed on YouTube. I can see something like "click here to play free for 30 minutes" on gaming videos. This ain't gonna be another OnLive situation.
As for whether I'll pay money for it in the future, that depends on the latency. I highly doubt it though.
