Seems Google really stepped up the quality as far as game streaming goes, especially for PC users who don't have much of a selection. However, like all streaming platforms, if you don't have unlimited bandwidth its not usable.
People ask who Google Stadia is for. And its for people like me. I have unlimited bandwidth because I'm on Google Fiber, which is actually really affordable compared to any other internet provider here. However what is not affordable is a PC upgrade. To upgrade my PC requires a new motherboard, new ram, new cpu and a new power supply. In total if I want a good quality upgrade I'd need to spend 800+ USD and I can't do that.
I have an i5 3.3 GHz CPU, btw its not a real i5 its only dual core. My motherboard only has DDR2 ram cause it can't support DDR3. I can't just do one upgrade sadly, I need to upgrade it all at once.
So that leads to Stadia. People on the internet have asked who its for, and its for exactly people like me and my situation.
Google stadia however is 129USD+tax+monthly fee (much much easier than upgrading my PC), but comes with games so I save money on buying games and I can also play high end games on my bad PC. I can also play it on mobile devices, tablets and what not which is really nice.
So I'm the target for their demographic and game streaming in general. And stadia looks like the best out of all of them, and has a nice initial lineup of games.
But what are your all thoughts? It does seem like its a niche market, so I dunno how well it will do. Stream gaming services haven't really done that well. But they are perfect for me. Sadly almost no one has unlimited bandwidth, so that is the massive limiting factor.
