The big problem seems to be that with current interest rates, breaking into cloud gaming with a whole new platform is just not profitable.
It stopped Google and now it's looking like it's stopping Netflix.
Gamers just don't want to spend money on new platforms or platforms where their friends aren't.
It's a shame to some degree because Stadia was a cheat free paradise. There will always be latency concerns but I think streamed competitive gaming has a future, particularly as kernel anticheat fails to deliver and high end hardware gets more and more expensive.
Wasn't what stopped google was poor user experience? Trying to prerender all possible frames so there is no lag when user changes direcrion etc on streamed gaming seemed like a waste of resources also.
The user experience on stadia was by far the best cloud gaming experience. They also had the most consumer friendly business model.
What stopped them was interest rate hikes. What their biggest issue before hand was though was bad PR from a questionable launch where a bunch of people were like "but does it work on shitty office Wi-Fi!? No, well this is trash."
Followed by the GPU shortage and the PS5 launch which put their hardware (which was better than PS4 hardware) behind.
Sure maybe best cloud gaming experience, but is an avid gamer really going to switch to sonething like that. I'm not a hard core gamer, but I do find game delay stuff annoying, I can only imagine playing over cloud is worse
It's really not that noticable. I played destiny PVP with mouse and keyboard on there. Maybe a pro player would be able to tell, but your average gamer would not.
Their technology was way better than what Nvidia has on GeForce now; it was truly insanely good.
