Stadia has officially gone 40 days without a new game announcement/release, feature update, or real community update. It has been out for 69 days.

- Start date
Their silence is really confusing. You'd think they would keep people updated more often than twice a month.
nice
Did anyone honestly expect anything different considering this is Google? They just don't understand a lot of the markets they enter and this Stadia move was no different.
I mean, I bought the founder's edition or whatever it was called, tried it once, had an awful experience that mirrored the one I had during the Assassin's Creed test, turned off Stadia Pro recurring billing, and have never logged in again.
I suspect my scenario is not unique. I think I even have a couple "buddy passes" sitting around somewhere I can't even be bothered to fish up and give away, because why punish a friend?

Google seems to love talking and announcing the next big thing, supporting them on the other hand...
If you check my post history, you'll see that I'm a big supporter of Stadia. I believe in the platform, play regularly, and am looking forward to some major released on it [IE if Cyberpunk is day and date Stadia will be my goto platform]
To that I would add that this is unacceptable.
What makes matters worse is that their community manager decided to jump in there to say "I hear you but we don't have anything to talk about". Stadia's inability to market their product is more offensive to me than the fact that it's partially baked. I can forgive it being a work in progress, but nearly every step since announcement has been bungled by their marketing team.

For those repeating the "Google Kills Everything" meme, Google usually only kills products after years on the market. Radio silence after months on the market is highly unusual.
Not having a new game announced or released for a bit over a month is pretty shocking to me since it's a store front.
This is exactly what I was gonna say. It's crazy how dead it already seems. But, I think they'll still give it another big push. They need to get out there with an original title and show what the cloud can do that local hardware can't. It will still fail. But, it would have been a better move than outdated Destiny 2 running worse than on consoles.
Still enjoying mine and in absolute awe of how well it works, but I don't blame people for being annoyed.
Looking forward to another Stadia thread full of tired jokes about Google killing it.

Because things are going FINE
Heck, Stadia is blowing up on all the social media. Amirite, kids?
Add me to your friends list! Always glad to be the first!

It's getting one game in February (Monster Supercross 3) and one time in March (Doom Eternal).
It's fair to call this thing dead. I honestly can't believe it's launch and release was worse than the Wii U's.

It's in beeeeeeeeeta.
We'll see how long Google has the patience to store and maintain gaming hardware for this very small service.

Don't worry, Caspah, the CM is "jotting down" the issues. I hope they have a LOT of post-it notes.
Yeah you'd think they'd be able to announce release windows for some of those 120 mystery games slated for 2020 to throw them a bone at least...
Which is kind of funny, because while I had a shit connect due to crappy wifi dongle and distance between where I'm at and the router, my experience during their technical test with AC:O wasn't really that bad. Between PSNow and NVidia streaming, it ran surprisingly well aside from ocassional artifacts.
They moved up some of their game releases when people complained and Microsoft added a bunch of games to the xCloud beta. So that probably didn't help with their release schedule I guess. But idk about not communicating, didn't they just say something recently about new games?
