      Full widespread Android OEM device compatibility for Stadia should have been ready to go on Day One. It was an absolute no-brainer.

      This just smacks of too little too late.

        Google STD was an ill-fitted abbreviation... STD's get around to more people

          Done! I feel ashamed.... I didn’t even take it out of the box. I ordered the pro and extra controller on a whim/zero research, assuming it had a netflix style business model. What an idiot!

          Oh well.

            The pad is not bad and casting from Pixel to the 4K Chromecast works well, so the hardware isn't completely defunct without the subscription or game purchases. In fact, other than reserving a username on Stadia to prevent anyone else grabbing it, the reason I was prepared to at least give it a go is because I knew I'd still get some use out of the hardware regardless.

            With any luck, Stadia dying might be enough to kill off game streaming entirely. I've tried so many now and they are all different levels of bad. I gave GeForce Now a go last week as it looked like it had some potential, but it's just as laggy and glitchy as the rest with an added really bad UI.

              More bad news, seems that google has completely misjudged how the indie games market works, it seems they just thought devs would bring there games over on their own as they are currently offering dev's zero incentives to port their game to the Stadia platform. The other issues is with a Lack of games comes a lack of players, with such a small install base developers don't see the platform as financially viable so a lot of indie dev's are ignoring stadia.

              Take how Nintendo is currently handling indie dev's there are some really high profile indie games like the untitled goose game that launched first on the switch, that sort of thing doesn't happen without some sort of deal in place, so it would appear that Google really are half arsing their stadia platform. not only are their only 27 games currently available but their massively more expensive on Stadia.


              Unless they change how there doing things i don't see them surviving, and thats gonna be massively damaging to the streaming games platform if google cant get it right with there infrastructure then who can?

                Read about them opening up a new studio and immediately thought it's like signing up for the dole in advance

                  Doom Eternal is not true 4K on Google Stadia, developer id Software has confirmed.Rather, the blistering first-person s…


                  Stadia disappoints again as Doom Eternal preps for launch having to break its earlier promise to be 4K/60FPS

                    This is the last place I would want to play Doom. Its a fast paced shooter being played on something with a threat of dropping connection or having serious lag. No thanks.

                              Steamworld Dig 2 is awesome.

                              Thumper is awesome but you cannot play that with any lag...

                              Does anyone use a Stadia on a regular basis on here?
