I mean, I bought into Stadia. I got a controller, a Chromecast Ultra and Cyberpunk 2077 for $60. Then Google refunded me $60 when they cancelled the service.
With all the hate Stadia got, I actually played single-player games on it and it worked pretty well. I also tried Destiny and Division 2 and it wasn’t bad either. I’d say the tech is indeed revolutionary for the folk that have low-end pcs or laptops.
I tested a little bit of Xbox Streaming, Nvidia, Sony, and Shadow.
I’d say out of all cloud gaming Shadow performs the best, and allows you to connect VR headsets too, but it is a pricey service to have for the long run.
Xbox Streaming worked best on mobile with the controller. It’s handy if you commute a lot. You can sit on a train and play Xbox games on your phone. Plus it comes with Xbox pass perks.
Sony has the worst cloud gaming imo.
On the bright side, I got like over £100 refund and a free controller once Stadia got shut down, not a bad investment. (controller came as part of the deluxe game purchase, which got refunded)
You just got yourself the best fking PC controller there is, once you go through the process of converting it to Bluetooth (which is really simple) you got yourself a great controller.
It worked very well if you had a good connection. The best part was no waiting for updates or downloads. Instant access from anywhere. It’s absolutely where gaming is going, but typical of Google, they half-committed to it in hopes someone would buy it at an inflated value.
People talked tons of shit about Stadia, but it was my favorite platform (as someone who also owns a Series X and a Switch). Cloud gaming is great. No downloads, no system uploads, no game updates, etc. Click to buy a game in the app and it’s available to play in a couple seconds. It was really great. xCloud has not worked as well for me, but I’m excited for it to get better.
Didnt stadia get shutdown?
It’s the future of gaming.
Lovely doorstop, nice of them to release an update to allow you to use your bt controller as a bt controller
The controller is pretty nice to be honest.
Have you ordered it via internet explorer?
I got an America Online AOL free trial CD somewhere if you need it
Lol. I also have an unopened one. Going in the museum.
Does it connect to your home wifi network?
Will someone please give OP attention for the OUYA?
OP is Internet Explorer.

Solid 10/10 value as far as I’m concerned.
Nice! Only 3 months too late!
Enjoy!
There’s a fuss about this?

Cloud gaming is so stupid. Clouds are made of water and they’ll ruin the servers hosted there.
It’s a very good controller, my main gamepad for PC now that’s free
One of the best returns on investment into gaming I’ve had.
It’s a nice controller, not gonna lie.
It was WAY better than I thought it’d be honestly

Makes a decent Bluetooth controller for your steamdeck

Downvote me all you want but Stadia was bloody amazing.
I haven’t seen a stadia or heard anything about stadia in like how far back was 2019-2017
Lmao these comments are too high IQ.
Laughs in OUYA

I can still hear the guy from google on podcasts in my head
podcaster: “so is google going to just abandon this like other projects if it doesn’t work out quickly”
Stadia guy *blink blink blink*
You’re finally awake.
If internet explore was a gamer.
Oooh, i’ve got some bad news my boy
there’s literally no fuss
