    a glimmer of hope, google setting up new game development studio for exclusive first party games for Stadia, unlike facebook who have not on their oculus rift vr platform, sucessfully systems needs first party exclusive games to be sucessful rather than relying on third party developers, however, they stated it maybe a few years before a major big game to be completed by them.

    While I admit I admire Google initial ambitious (probably a bit too ambitious) plan for real time streaming games ala Netflix of the gaming industry, but at your moment, things are going a bit pear shaped with stadia according to current media and it's being to start to sound like an Atari Jaguar, 3do /Panasonic m2 or apple pippin with so many issues a few days before release,

    This is going to be very interesting, especially the price of games and lack of a secondhand market ...

    A more fundamental concern is that it doesn’t seem clear who it’s for. Streaming is a technical wonder, but if it doesn’t bring material advantages, what’s the point? It’s slightly cheaper than a home console – £119 for the Founders’ edition, compared to an Xbox One S starting at £200 or a PS4 at £220. But pick up a few backlist games at used prices, and the savings soon disappear. They go a bit faster still if you compare the £6.99 PS+ or Xbox Live Gold to Stadia Pro.

    Google Stadia is pretty revolutionary, it's a shame that they apparently have/had a lot of troubles with their service. And the input lag that is a major issue imo for any game that requires low-latency (FPS, RPG, MMORPG, etc.).
