The article fails to mention Google Stadia's biggest problem: Nobody wants it. That is why it will fail.

For those in rural areas, this won't be feasible. WiFi has a tendancy to drop out at will, people have data caps and from what i've heard, this will eat up data.

It'll be a viable option, but it won't take over the way we play games. And won't be until data caps are non-existent, and WiFi stops dropping out at will.

Just go to some homes that aren't inside of a major city. I live in the DC 'burbs, have FIOS, and still experience internet slowdown. Like, unless Google can convince all ISPs to upgrade everyone to fiber and NOT slow things down when people use a lot of bandwidth... I don't see how this is supposed to work.

Wow.
I'm impressed how much people actually have to say about this.

I formally invite the "everyone, everywhere" people to try out our public wifi, if they manage to find a working hotspot. I suggest the one across the street that took my laptop about a minute to load Google, and my phone doesn't connect to it at all. Mind you I was sitting on my balcony, so there was one less wall in the way. Also mind you that we supposedly have awesome internet here.
If they can still believably claim consistent streaming with minimal interruptions works everywhere in the world, I might be willing to consider that it could be viable in the future.

A concept! Other than that, nothing. It's literally anything but a switch competitor.

I'm pretty shure Stadia works perfectly in the Google sandbox. In open field it will struggle with things like Pings like some here already stated.
As some said: Google is all about Data Mining.
I see this project as a big beta test for Google. It's about
a) testing the acceptance in the gaming community
b) mining data of the internet structure worldwide (not only in terms of speed but also in terms of stability and reliability)
c) testing business models like the one-click-away from the gaming influencers (streamers)
Things like that. It's NOT about gaming - it's about data mining (at this point at least). They're not stupid. They know that today the internet infrastructure isn't ready. They arm for the future - it will be at some day. And they have the time and the money to invest to be prepared for this day. To be ahead of their competitors.
And even then they make their money with data mining. The gamers world is the frame around it.
You can earn a lot more money with data/advertising then with games. And nobody is better in it then Google.

Swedish-American physicist Max Tegmark, who works at MIT, is one of the founders of FLI and says they are working hard to put ethics and moral high on the agenda, but he also says that the surrounding society needs to understand that this is the most important conversation of our time.

Just my usual unwanted ramblings here.

I love physical, I do think there's a place for digital and I know everything will turn digital eventually much to my dismay.

However digital games and games that basically have constant DRM is another thing.

I'm sure plenty of people are fine with that but there's also a lot that aren't.
Everyone remember SimCity's contant connection woes?
Why I love GOG for PC goodness. It's not as good as physical but at least there's still options to play when and where and how you want!

I love the portability and the option to play offline with my Switch for whenever I am not at home and booting up the full system. This means nothing to me. Lag, control input lag, dependency on internet etc... nah, I'll likely pass for a decade or so at least on game streaming.

As for a lid being kept on AI and morals and ethics being prioritised, I'm not so sure. Elon Musk said, for years he tried to get the people creating the technology to slow down but no one really listened. There are some higher ups who are excited at the prospect of the rise of AGI and humans merging with the technology. The people in charge of running our countries are too caught up in their own petty squabbles, by the time they realise it's all meaningless and AI is what we should really be worried about, it'll be too late. They can try to regulate it but the tech companies will fight it, it'll go through the courts, there will be appeals and eventually legislation will be passed but these things take many years. By that time, the genie will already be out the bottle and it ain't going back in. Last year, tech bosses signed a pledge never to develop killer robots and autonomous weapons but does anyone really believe them. Even if Silicone Valley don't, other countries will.

I'm not afraid Nintendo stops making consoles. As long as they keep making incredible first-party games, there will always be room for Nintendo.

What I'm afraid is this kind of gaming becomes mainstream some day. And I think and fear it will. After overcoming the big problem here, Internet connection speed, which isn't great in most houses. But I'm afraid of this future because gaming like this hasn't got any soul.

Stadia will only work well when we enter the "entire computer streaming age"(keyboard screen and a account only needed when using a computer), Maybe then Nintendo will release a extremely portable console without CPU GPU, and it only have screen and control buttons for streaming play __in! Zalem! city!__

I'll use it for AAA games if the subscription is no more than £15 a month. I can't stand spending £50 on a new title for it to be lacklustre and only getting £30 back for it in trade in value. At least with this I'll be able to try and play as many top games as I want until I enjoy one, and as long as I play one decent game a month then that's my money's worth. As long as the Switch doesn't get abandoned as the indie machine and the top indie devs don't switch their focus to Stadia then I'm happy with both platforms

Nobody actually knows who he/she or they are. The Japanese guy you see when searching the name is not really him. It's thought the person or group may not even be Japanese.

Physical books sales are up despite eBooks “destroying” that market. Re Stadia (bad and forgettable name imo) I know people say this is the future, but not my future. Physical will exist for another decade at least in some form or another. “News just in, Next Splatfest, Physical vs Streaming”. I know my team.

Yes Stadia could be big but people seem to be forgetting PS Now exists now and has done for years. It works and I don’t see how Stadia is a big upgrade to that. Now’s not exactly setting the world on fire... yet at least...

Also personally I don’t want more subscriptions in my life, would prefer to outright pay for something and own it.
