GG was right again. We were predicting the death of this anti-consumer dumpster fire since before it launched. Everyone knew that Goolag would abandon it just like their other failed projects. Everyone except the retard games "journalists", that is. They thought they could shill it into a success to spite the people that should be their audience. Hopefully this red pills some people about needing to own your games to actually own them.
I recall telling people at the time "if you want to know what playing a game over Stadia will be like, use OBS to stream a game playing on one computer to another computer in the same room; and play the game by watching the stream. Because ultimately Stadia is a highly optimized version of that, except the computer the game is playing on is in a datacenter somewhere"
But of course even if you own a game you still may not "own" it, if it depends on activation servers and online services to play it.

I would love to know how many of them believed what they were writing. Because anyone with a brain knows that this shit is just fundamentally impossible due to the speed of light.
I don't even buy games on Steam anymore and at least they are actually on my computer where I could use a steam emulator if my account ever got banned.
I only still occasionally buy from Gog even though they're woke idiots because I'd rather pay a few dollars than risk a cracked one.
Should have put servers in hotel server rooms and offered it as a perk to business travelers who are on the road a lot and still want to unwind with a video game at the end of the day.
lag would have been way better, and the employees could just expense the cost as an "internet surcharge" or some such thing.
Streaming games absolutely will not succeed as a primary service. It can make a decent enough side service (I tried Playstation Now for a trial month some years back, gave me access to quite a few games I wouldn't have even thought about, no space requirements), but if it's the main draw, you have nothing, simply because your competition can create the same sort of service while primarily supporting live games.

Input lag was insane.. and most people dont have gigabit internet.
Doesn't matter how much bandwidth your pipe has, you're still limited by speed of light

(I just want) One game (One game), I don't know why
I bought a PS5 with no games to buy
Keep that in mind, they designed this drive to improve loading times
That's all I know (Know)
Console exclusives are key
Watch 'em fly by as they port to PC (Port to PC)
Lose exclusives at the end of the gen
I have no games to play, it's so unfair (Unfair)
Didn't look out below
Throw my console right out the window (Window)
Try to hold on but I didn't even know
I wasted it all just to watch movies (Movies)
I spend all my time inside
Now that launch hype has died, all I see are ports
Just like thе PS3, it's remindin' me of a memory of a timе when
I cried so hard for games at launch
But in the end, it's just got no games
Bought PS Plus and paid so much
But in the end, it's just got no games
you will own nothing and you will be frustrated
January 18th 2023.
Yes, that's a little less than four months from now. Is that date significant in some way?

Google are MAGA extremists.
Half-Life 3 confirmed.
Holy fuck, touch grass.
It was just a joke.
I just wanted to save people the click.
