Tech giant Google seems adamant to get a headstart and will skip E3 to unveil details about its cloud gaming platform Stadia, stating that "some news can't wait for E3". The company announced via a tweet that it will reveal more details about Stadia like pricing, games, and launch details this Thursday June 6th. By the same token, Google also announced its own version of Nintendo Direct called Stadia Connect which the company describes as "a series that gives you a look at Stadia news, events, new games, bonus features & more". The first Stadia Connect will be live streamed this Thursday June 6, 2019 at 9AM PDT/6PM CET with the new details about the platform and it can be viewed on YouTube right below:

you pay 10$ to play older games, to play newer games you will pay the 10 + whatever their price is lol, they said technicaly only destiny 2 is free you will pay extra to play any newer releases lol.
I don't kno much about pc games and hardware but what I've read playing pc games with the settings they hav said 9 quid a month is nothing to me and to a lot of people and spending 30 40 quid on a game a month isn't a big deal either for most people

I finally watched it. Got to say, it feels pretty weird to see Google doing a game conference.

Also, "pending approval from Sony." lol

Isn't it kind of funny that they are saying you don't need consoles while still trying to sell you hardware?
With this sly and confusing way to tell you about the pricing, it is sounding like another Google+.

so paying around 50$ a month and own nothing and hopping your internet is fast enough to play lol by 6 months you can buy a console and get used games very cheap lol and you can play them anytime for ever lol.

Also their founders pack is a joke so they give you a controler a google adpater for the tv and 3 months pay sor 170$ all that and you get to only play destiny 2 and afew older games lol

that price is ridiculous becuase the controller is 70 since they said it was, and 3 months is 30$ so your paying 70$ for the google device for smart tv and then the most important you can choose your name before the better ones get taken lol.

Such seniority. What a veteran. Much wisdom.
uh huh

Actually... yes. Yahoo gave me relevant and accurate enough results before google became the "de facto" seearch engine. Altavista was lacking though. Netscape was a cool browser too.



Google Chrome is the new IE. Firefox was (before killing NPAPI) superior in both debugging and customization. It's still better overrall as of now. It baffles me that people would still rather use the not as customizable or fast, memory hogger called Chrome to do anything that does not involve running legacy Adobe Flash apps.

Since the Internet deals with information, I'd REALLY rather not have a monopoly on anything related to it.

Also, Android is not the savior of mobile, it's just a Linux port to mobile phones. If not Google, some other company would have done it eventually. Every feature implemented by it could have been done by any other OS, literally. In fact, phone owners should have a choice of which OS they want to put in their device, but since there is a clear lack of options, we do not. Having used a ton of mobile phones before Android existed, it wasn't even hard at all to adapt to what they offered, unless you're technologically impaired, so that is a really bad excuse.

Apple having any success at all is only due to their UI. Their devices are severely lacking in quality for their price point.



I don't know about you, but I've been using it since I was 7 years old, in 1992. And I've used BBS forums even before the Internet.
The Internet was not trash AT ALL if you knew how to use it. It just slowly evolved into the current status.

As a web developer, to me, the biggest changes were, in order, the introduction of CGI->FastCGI, AJAX, SSE, HTML5 and WebSockets.
you act like those innovations and much much better would not have happened without this cancer monopoly stifling competition and creativity

sadly we will never know what we could have been or what better reality awaited us in the alternate timeline

You better improve your reading comprehension skills, since I'm pretty much saying Google is at fault here.

Sure, duckduckgo and firefox for life. Or whatever else, lynx is good enough, it is just a damn search engine and a browser not rocket science.

i use google search engine and nothing against that but i use firefox browser for years so yeah no chrome for me.

Using google search engine is diferent from buying a subscription and then having to buy the games that are new or wait until they become free with the subscription.

You are incorrect. Game streaming only works if you live close to the server. No matter how you try to rationalize it, game streaming is nothing more than a proof of concept. Game streaming might work for 5% of the world's gamers and that's it. Millions & millions of people in USA do not have access to high speed internet. They only have access to 35mbps or less, and even then those are just advertised speeds, in the real world it's more like 5-10mbps tops. ISPs throttle speeds, have data caps etc. Not to mention multiplayer can NEVER work. Latency is already noticeable if 1 person on the east coast plays online with someone from the west coast. Same goes for digital games, people with horrible internet can buy a digital game and spend a week waiting for it to download. For example, Red Dead Redemption 2 is 100gb, would take forever for some people to download. Fallout 76, broken on release, took some people a long time to download the 50gb patch. Internet is the downfall of games, game streaming is a joke, digital is a joke, releasing broken games that require gb upon gb of updates to fix is a joke. Before "high speed internet" finished polished games were released.
You can say all of that but those figures are inaccurate. Regardless, streaming obviously isn't for people with bad internet, which is becoming less and less people these days. Even the 5-10 mbps you speak of is enough to use these.

Bandwidth has nothing to do with latency.

Was only a matter of time before Google got into the gaming industry. They easily have the infrastructure to pull it off.
