Question about women in their 30’s?
Make something subpar pull a shit tone of resources to support it. It won’t hit there numbers and then open source it lol or another team wants to make “impact” and now you will get to decide between google play pass and xplay or whatever. Basically like the confusing shit that is the youtube premium and YouTube music premium
Google is well-suited to target some highly specific markets that could be compatible with the speed requirements, especially with existing fiber customers. They could pull a Facebook and do well in the indie gaming space, but that's all dependent on how well they initially staff and strategize. That said, anyone who has watched Google for a year minimum knows that they abandon projects like yesterday's trash.
Which is why I hope no good game ends up being a google exclusive
If they are smart, the stickiness will be DLC like Amazon/Twitch prime with some streamer components or tournaments. I'm skeptical that they will get good consultants on the esports space though.
They haven't announced pricing, which would be the major factor. They also don't have any games of their own yet, its easy to make a new studio but not so easy to build a popular franchise. Good first party exclusives will be critical. Their play on any device didn't mention/demo any iOS device either (not sure if to deliberately promote pixel or it doesn't work on iOS)
will you buy the game and pay an additional fee to stream it or they'll have a subscription where you just pay the sub and play anything? that was not clear...
I don't see how this makes any economic sense. If you have a data center 1000 miles away, best possible case it adds 10.6 ms round trip latency, which is nearly a full game tick. You would need a lot of datacenters to make that work. Those machines need graphics cards, which is very non-standard and expensive for server machines. If you consider that playing a game at 4K on your PC requires a very high end machine, you can't have those servers generally running multiple games simultaneously because they have to actually do the rendering (vs a game server for something like LoL where you can have many games running on a single machine). Cloud doesn't help you here either. Unlike video you can't buffer it to handle network congestion, so I don't totally understand who all these people are with fiber to their houses that can't afford to buy a PlayStation. I don't know who this is for and I don't see how they can make money on it.
Would love to have it click why and be shown wrong tho
they are betting that the people with fiber will drop the PlayStation for the cool features that Stadia comes with. I don't think it's about expanding the market, I think it's about stealing share
A project for reasons to short GOOGL
Oh great. More of the “let’s copy the competition” - pretty much captures the story of innovation in tech 🙄
Thanks to that company This is trends now. LoL Copying low cost high return, why not lol Market , customers don't care, it's trends that we only care about low prices we don't care who is the one created it lol
Are US consumers cool with paying an extra $49.99 a month for unlimited data?
not sure about US but definitely not with msft salary.
People here don't know we have project xcloud?
2 years from release. Public trials start this year. Kind of a joke considering the competition
Dunno, but as a gamer, I welcome more competition.
