Admin Note: For Now Stadia is Android

Hello to our lovely contributors out there.

Stadia is a hot news item today and some questions about how to tag it as a platform.

For now, Stadia should go under the Android platform tag. If the owners add a specific platform tag for it later, I will go through and update all the tags as necessary (or at least the important stuff).

Thank you,
Christopher

I disagree with the distinction. It needs to have its own platform tag. Stadia is also on PC. Saying otherwise is misrepresentation. .

"For now"

And it's streaming from an Android OS platform to a monitor via a middleware PC app. Nothing is hosted on PC. So, I mean, that's not a fair assumption. Just like PSNow isn't on PC.

isn't it hosted on linux machines?

Stadia requires games to run on Linux. We are porting our game.

Kryptix2528d ago

It's streamed from a Linux OS which runs on a personal computer or server machine using custom chips from AMD and Intel.

My suggestion is to make a "cross-platform" tag for cloud/stream related gaming.

As a PC gamer, personally, I would rather see Stadia news using the PC tag as most people would rather use it on a monitor than on their Android screen.

Stadia is a platform. It's a service based platform. The platform doesn't exist on a single piece of hardware, but it has all the other trappings of a platform.

My opinion on it

It’s not bad but it would of been the best thing ever if it had a netflix style meaning each month they put new games to play while removing some games for the 10 dollar 4K 60 frames plan. The reason I say that because 1080p 60 frames plan is free so with that model it’s cheaper than every other systems, another reason it is cheaper because they do not charge you to play online like Xbox live or ps plus so you can play online for free. Look at it like this since you do not have to buy any system that’s money you save, all you have to do is just buy the games. Now if google can make 4K 60 frames option free and let us buy our own games then Sony and Xbox have no chance unless you have loyalty to those systems. A free 4K 60 frames model will save so much money because no monthly payments and all you have to do is buy the controller or use your own since it can use switch ps4 and Xbox controllers after that you set, and all you do is buy games nothing else.

if I did not have a 4K tv and I had 1080p tv the stadia is cheaper router right now, i would join right now

Ps4 when it came out cost 400 and ps plus 60 for a year, you do 7 years of ps plus with ps4 and it equal $820 I think I say 7 years because don’t keep their systems for 7 years before they upgrade so if you kept that system for 7 years and got ps plus every year you would of paid $820 and this is without buying any games for the system

Now With stadia 1080p 60 frames you do not pay any monthly fee or pay to play online so you save over 800 dollars and that money you save can now go towards getting more games or accessories or whatever you want

Ps4 and Xbox one cost 200 now so say you buy one now and you buy 3 years of Xbox live and ps plus before you upgrade to ps5 and Xbox two you still save 480 dollars since you need to pay to play online for those 3 years and pay for the system (ps4, Xbox one)

now if you got stadia 1080p 60 frames plan instead that 480 dollars can go towards more games for your Stadia

4K 60 frames plan need to become free so I can jump in
