    This is what it'll need to transition to if it hopes to survive.

        Plus Microsoft are doing the same albeit as part of Game Pass Ultimate... But then that service didn't need any more value add but there you go.

          I have a Shield and you have to subscribe to NVidia games service, only games you already own on the PC can you stream to the unit.

            Project Cloud is amazing and with MS Gamepass its going to be hard to beat when comes off the Beta. But one still needs to give a little credit to google (I know its hard) The tech when it works is really impressive with gfx that look better than a base Xbox or PS4 streamed down the network and where the games are totally playable.

            It's not the future, but it's impressive and a great step forward for how games look and play whilst being streamed. I think the project is doomed to fail mind down to the price.

              I’d seen it working as more of a Prime Video originally - a large library of ‘free’ stuff, with premium paid titles on top. Why on earth they haven’t done this - and why they’ve launched with such a weird, unfocused grab bag of titles, a full 25% of which is, bizarrely, Tom Raider games - I have no idea.

                Just took a look at Reddit and this one does seem to be gaining quite a few reports... Terrible news really and if the Chromecast can't handle the constant bandwidth then Google are really screwed because I fail to see how they remedy it.

                  Google has killed over 150 products since 2006. The average lifespan of a Google product is 4 years and 1 month.

                    How did they not see this issue coming?

                      Wow this is just going from bad to worse for Google, the overheating issue is a legacy issue with all Chromecast it seems. Saw one video on the problem back in 2017.

                        But that's not all ... their numbers aren't looking good either. The Stadia App was downloaded 175,000 times and the player numbers for Destiny 2 on 25th Nov

                        PC: 494,000
                        PlayStation 4: 454,000
                        Xbox: 331,000
                        Stadia: 19,400

                        Of those

                        PvE: 18,300 players
                        Crucible: 1,710 players
                        Gambit: 1,140 players
                        Raids: 499 players

                        Making finding matches problematic.

                        Meanwhile, Google adds two more games to the Pro Sub, namely Tomb Raider Definitive Edition and Farm Simulator 2019. Trouble is they had these up for sale so now they're having to refund those who purchased them (I'm assuming that didn't take more than 15 minutes though).

                        Clearly a single day isn't an especially accurate measure, but if founder's observations were anything like mine, they'd have tried Destiny 2 and realised that even base Xbox One offers a better gaming experience.

                          Stadia. The worst way to play everything.

                            Stadia DMd (personal direct message) me this this morning. I haven't DMd them at all.



                            It seems Stadia is asking its users to pray for their service now. Utter clowns.

                              Or they are asking to pray for its soul after its imminent demise.

                                Lol. According to reddit, it is meant to be a survey.
