Mockduck Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Yes, creating a thread to put a link to my video here, but I figured it was worth creating a new topic looking at Google Stadia TODAY on the Atari VCS. Frankly, don't sleep on it, who knows how long it will be here. Modern + plugged in through USB makes it work seamlessly from AtariOS in my experience. Worked great.

THX-1138 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Does anyone use Stadia? I'm surprised Google haven't killed it off yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justclaws Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 The old topic on Stadia still has some value too. Stadia continues to work well, and definitely opens up a wider set of games. Now that Atari also targets it as a platform for Recharged games, another +. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Stadia shutting down in January 2023. Interestingly they are offering refunds for certain purchases. https://blog.google/products/stadia/message-on-stadia-streaming-strategy/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockduck Posted September 29, 2022 Author Share Posted September 29, 2022 Yeah, good/bad timing on the video I guess. Stadia was pretty cool actually, and had a particular value on the VCS, but an initial business model that didn't land with customers and just plain streamrollering by Microsoft and Sony appear to have been its end.

I think part of the issue is that people are scared to trust Google to keep their services running long-term. I know that given their history it would give me pause in choosing them over an alternative service. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they have no trust when it comes to library ownership due to near constant behavior in the past. At least they are consistent in terms of making a consumer choice. That said, imagine you have been all-in on Stadia since the start, buying a bunch of games and such. You have been playing those games for a couple of years and will get the entirety of your money back! You can buy them again probably more cheaply elsewhere these days, or just keep the cash. Kind of a nice end-scenario for Stadia backers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a Google account, I do not trust them or the long-term reliability of their products or services. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
