I just found out that Cyberpunk 2077 will release on Google Stadia on the same day as it will release on consoles and PC. So of course I pre-ordered it! Wait, why did I do that. That actually seems kinda dumb. Look, Cyberpunk 2077 looks like it will be amazing. I don’t question my excitement for the game nor my desire to play it as soon as possible. That’s not the dumb part. But when it comes to pre-ordering a game on a streaming service, from a consumer standpoint, from a gamer standpoint, from a not developer or publisher standpoint, pre-ordering a game from a streaming service is pretty dumb. Again, I did this, so I did the dumb thing, and if you also did this dumb thing, funny defend your dumb act. Let’s be friends, bonded by our dumbness. Friends who get to play Cyberpunk 2077 on launch day at...2:00 am? Hey, we’re dumb, remember. Let’s do it.Tag Archives streaming service

I like Google Stadia. I really do. But I’m concerned about what direction the game streaming service is headed. Specifically, I’m concerned because I DON’T KNOW what direction it’s headed. I’m concerned because Stadia hasn’t been vocal about where they are headed and what they want the platform to be. In this video I call attention to the fact that Stadia is lacking crucial marketing efforts, and I think that this void comes down to Stadia not having a stated purpose. But this video isn’t doom and gloom. I think Stadia will be around for a while. Stadia just needs to do better at cultivating a fandom. Like I said, I like Stadia.
