If the games on the subscription are decent, then I may be interested.
I'm not interested in paying per game on a streaming-only platform however, nevermind in addition to a sub, at least while my own local connectivity isn't reliable enough (it's not, I don't think).
I'm curious about the games Google will be funding, much more than the multiplat stuff.

Yeah, no. That doesnt sound like it's for me at all.
What wouldnt be true?

Ho fuck "dead on arrival" posts have appeared.
This will be a major success
Edit : it's a joke because era is often wrong on this kind of things, I personnally have no idea on how successful the thing will be, and we still miss some information to make a definitive judgement

Yeah, that itchy trigger finger Google has makes me apprehensive about buying any game on their platform.

The STADIA PRO sub will include older games like PS+ or Xbox Live Gold does.
There's no indication what Google consider an older game or not.
buying games to stream is beyond dumb. these services will only be appealing if it's a subscription giving you access to the whole library.
Looks bad. The free one might attract people, but since it comes laterthe whole thing might lose momentum.
I think the FREE sub means that you only have to buy the game and not the console platform. So like, everyone already has a Stadia, and you buy a game like normal. So you buy AC Odyssey through the service once and you can play it on any web based device.
So am i understanding this correctly,they will eventually bring out a free subscription that will allow you to stream up to 1080p and you will buy the games but if you want 4K/60fps you also need to pay for the paid sub on top, even if you buy the games?
Thats absolutely terrible to me.

With a connection like this one you will play at 720p with a terrible bitrate...
Streaming won't take off next gen with this approach.
It would be fucked up if Destiny 2 costed money when they're announcing today it's going free to play.
I'm not convinced about it being a major success but it won't be a failure either. It will be something in between.
Lower, but you're probably right. Guess they're expecting that the people who will be using this will have enough money for full price games
I mean at 10$ a month I can't see who they're trying to appeal to here.
They don't really want to be Netflix, they want to be Playstation and Xbox without the upfront cost. It's going to be hard for them to market themselves that way without any exclusives and with the way they presented the service beforehand.
La Presse is a serious journal, if they report on it it's most likely true.
Which market though?

that sounds terrible, so you have to buy the games AND pay for the privilege to play them at 4K?
Yes because I want to pay a monthly fee rather than just buying a console + the cost of games to have a worse experience than I would with local hardware. Huge success.
what
I'll give it a shot, see how it is. But they're very much looking for early adopters here and then the free sub will be the rollout with demos etc. to try and grab a larger market I would expect.
So I'd pay $170 plus a monthly sub after 3 months and still have to pay again for new games on top of the sub price?? Fuck off lol how about you pay me $12 per month to try out that trash.
Besides my internet cant do all this streaming with data caps so go get on Comcasts case and get that shit fixed then come back to me with your streaming future.

People realise this isn't just targetting the typical gamer who already owns 3 consoles right?
A $11.99 a month sub sounds a lot more appealing to a kid's mum who is eyeing up a $300 console or $1000 PC for Christmas - but the upfront cost isn't ideal.
Personally I doubt I'll ever make use of this - but it could reach the point where it's cheaper to use something like this instead of upgrading my PC every few years. It couldn't replace consoles while there are system selling exclusives for me.

If the 1080p stream is also 60fps it will be nice. If not, then it sucks.
The 1080p stream will be totally free. So you only need to buy the games.

You think "casuals" (their main target) will pay $60 to stream Destiny 2?
It's the only way it'd work? Otherwise they wouldn't be able to get games for the service and a lot of publishers wouldn't be interested in using the service at all to push software. Have a lower "hardware" access cost and then charge for software or bundle it together for a far more expensive monthly fee.

Yeah, if you only have the free sub then you can't play the games you bought separately on Stadia for higher than 1080p.
