Look at these dudes trying to get kudos from Google. Good strategy when no one knows who you are

xX-oldboy-Xx2388d ago

I didn't think that 4K HDR 5.1 was available at launch? I'm sure there was a few articles stating that recently.

Either way - I'm sacrificing goats and praying to God's I didn't know existed for Stadia's failure.

darthv722388d ago

That seems awfully petty to me. I'm not interested in Stadia but I won't wish ill will on something because it doesnt interest me or i don't agree with it. To each their own I guess.

xX-oldboy-Xx2388d ago

hahaha - yes mate - extremely petty, but I thi k Google can take the loss. Something tells me they'll be fine.

We have a tech giant muscling in our space, not actually investing in our space - of course I want it to fail.

Keep singing Kumbaya big fella.

Muscling? They are innovating. You're just a moron and software people like me laugh at you. The only thing I hope fails are the hearts of cancerous fanboys..

xX-oldboy-Xx2388d ago

Moron? nice one - You say innovating, I say maximising profits for the least outlay.

One of the largest companies in world wants a slice of the growing gaming market, thats all Stadia is.

At least ms had the decency to release a console and a few exclusives.

rainslacker2388d ago (Edited 2388d ago )

I'm a software person too. Even said that asynchronous cloud compute was possible back in the day when MS was talking about it for CD3, despite all the people saying it wasn't. MS showed it was possible. Lackluster representation, but good proof of concept.

I know that streaming can work as well. In fact, I've used PSNow, and had no major issues with it. I suspect MS xCloud will work fine. I suspect Google's service will work fine.

I still think that Google will fail, unless they have a huge change in the way they're marketing the service, and figure out who they're actually targeting with the service. Google has name recognition, but they don't have any presence in gaming. PSNow and xCloud will be bolstered by their console user base. Google can only hope to rope people in by linking their service to other services, or a huge marketing campaign.

I don't hope that Stadia fails, but know it probably will.

Dragonscale2387d ago

Innovating my a55, more like bandwagon jumping tbh. And it looks like the wheels have fallen off before it even got started lol. If you're the sort of fanboy that stadia attracts then it deserves to fail with comments like that fgs.

How much is this site got paid for the review? Asking for a friend

yomfweeee2388d ago

Why do you all keep referencing killedbygoogle.com? Why are you upset that they try a lot of things? There's no harm in it. If a product/service isn't popular, that will abandon it... just like any other company.

Yeah but if you are still using and liking the products they keep killing, it would make sense if you felt a certain way about that. I have no issue with Google, but trusting them to stick with Stadia is probably foolish at this point. They'll probably kill it after a year and bring it back in a decade with a new name and logo.

uth112388d ago

After you pay $60 each for a bunch of games, and they pull the plug on the service, then what?

yomfweeee2388d ago

Then you can complain. That is a different scenario than free products they kill off.

Edgelordsupreme2388d ago

You also dont know what their refund system would be, are there any examples of services Google ran that you purchased software and they shut down later with no refund system in place? No? Well I guess assuming the worst case scenario is kinda childish.

Me personally I'm not interested in using a stadia to play games that I could play on local hardware. Most people are bound to feel similar and I dont see Stadia taking off.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio34d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing34d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9234d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit34d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing34d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9234d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
