I think google had something illogical for which stadia was based on. If you are trying to offer the poor people access to triple AAA games without requiring them to buy a console to save them money.. these are the same people who wont have 25 Mbps. They likely have 10-15 Mbps if even that. They dont have the bandwidth to stream games. Local hdd is the way to go. I thought stadia was about google having a collective, gigantic console For community sharing that will do the processing and that would solve the problem of console collecting. I was excited for google entering the video game but they should have offered a “me too” console even if its not revolutionary. I was hoping they created a powerful android console better than nvidia shield, at the level of sony or microsoft, with an actual hard drive that can be connected. Nvidia shield with only 16 gb leaves a lot to be desired. And the playstore already have games established so this extends games on android to be tripe A level.

Do you really think Stadia could compete with PS NOW? Not that it can compete with xCloud either, mind you.

Ps now is the leader of old games. So they have that going for them.

PS Now is pretty much irrelevant at this point because Sony doesn't put their games and invest enough in the service, therefore it will be ignored.

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.

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

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.

Let me be clear. This is sarcasm
