This whole Twitter thread is crazy.
- The achievements system won't have a UI at launch, but it will still capture achievement so you can see them when a UI is available.
- Only the Founder's Edition Chromecast Ultra will support Stadia on launch day. Existing Chromecasts won't
- Family Sharing is not available at launch. Recommended to just buy a second version of a $60 game on your account for a kid or other family member to play with, and then eventually be able to share it
- Stadia on iOS will arrive eventually
- Apparently, you need your phone to buy games for Stadia, implying that there's no web UI currently
- Stadia Buddy Pass will not be available to Founders at launch
I guess there's more to come? I haven't seen a thread on it here, but a few of the GameDailyBiz and GamesIndustry.biz folks have seen this tweet, so I assume a more comprehensive article will be coming shortly!
