Quote: Stadia is plagued by latency issues, a weak library and value proposition.
Google Stadia is a great concept for the next generation of gaming, but its input lag — which is variable — makes it nearly unplayable.
Cloud gaming is being pushed by big corporations like Nvidia and Microsoft, but is streaming games online really that feasible?
Maybe for super casual and turn based games. But nah. Nothing beats local hardware!
As Google bids farewell to Stadia, recent events surrounding gaming industry hints that the tech giant might have closed shopped prematurely.
"So, it wouldn't be far off to imagine a scenario where Microsoft would have signed a 10-year"
Like that would have saved Stadia. Ridiculously naive premise
No, it shot itself in the foot by not delivering on anything they promised. Besides the browser and multi device launching being easy, they failed to deliver on any other of their highly touted selling points. No game ran at 4k, or 60fps, or even at high settings let alone all 3 together. And honestly had some of the worst latency of any streaming service.
No reason to give Microsoft a reason to tout another stupid "10 year deal" with cloud services that no one has ever heard of or uses.
Microsoft announces 10 year deal to bring Gamepass to LG refrigerators!!
lets not pretend that streaming games is great. and ms cant change that with their deals.
Is Stadia dead? No! Stadia’s heart beat is alive and well. Despite the perpetual declarations of Stadia’s death since even before the platform’s release, Stadia has continued to evolve, to release games (nearly 300!), to release new platform features and to expand to new territories.
I can tell you that p.r. firms no longer flood my inbox telling me which games are being released for it.
It should have died years ago but like a 1980's shitty horror movie with shitty sequels this thing will just not die.
It was practically DOA. It's just taking longer to fail because the company behind it has money to burn.
An example of the issues that they are having with input lag.

I can guarantee almost all of the negative artles are Microsoft lean
Imagine my shock.
"Unplayable at times"
Who wants to PAY to game with this unnecessary nonsense?
This was expected.
