Nice one fellas. I can always cancel in the unlikely event that somebody gets my username before me.
Do you think that we can swap the Buddy Pass between us to enable six months of subscription?Last edited by J0e Musashi; 09-06-2019, 09:28.Kept you waiting, huh?

It needs to be ready to go with ALL Android OEM devices at launch, surely? Otherwise we are looking at the new Ouya/OnLive.Last edited by Nu-Eclipse; 09-06-2019, 10:47.

There is also a small amount of monetising those first wave of users. Rolling out to Pixel phones first is another phased approach and bringing an exclusive feature to their reference hardware first, something they have done before.

But being able to play in Chrome is pretty powerful for getting people to try the service I think. You'll be able to start a trial of the service on your computer and be playing a game in minutes, without leaving your browser.

Yeah, it's the most effective element of the offer right now I think. The Pixel phone part is basically irrelevant since those phones aren't especially popular anyway, the Chromecast Ultra bit is so-so since you need to drop £120 - not far off the cost of a PS4 or Xbox.
But the Chrome browser compatibility? Strong. Very strong.
