I prefer to play video games on consoles rather than PC. I like the simplicity of a PS4, an Xbox, or a Nintendo Switch. In this video I’m going to give you three reasons why I like gaming on consoles. If you are a PC gamer, stick around. You may learn why some people prefer the generally lower powered gaming system with a more restrictive selection of video games. If you are a console gamer, stick around, too. You may learn how to navigate difficult conversations at parties with PC gamers. Above all, though, I love video games. Period. Video games are my favorite thing ever. So, whether you prefer consoles, computers, or even mobile devices to play video games, you are welcome here.

Cyberpunk 2077 on Google Stadia is considered one of the best ways to play the highly anticipated video game. How did this happen? Stadia is surging right now because CD Projekt Red created broken versions of the game for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. But to suggest that Stadia lucked into this position is simply wrong. Stadia has been built to handle spec-intensive games like Cyberpunk 2077. Even if PS4 and Xbox One ran the game well, Stadia is still delivering on its value proposition. If Stadia didn’t work, it would be suffering in the headlines just as PS4 and Xbox One are right now. But it’s not, because Google Stadia works. CD Projekt Red’s failure to make a game that can play on last-gen consoles has allowed Stadia to shine. It didn’t make Stadia better. Stadia has been good for a long time. What do I think should Stadia do now? Honestly, nothing. Stadia should keep doing what it’s doing. Continue providing a solid service. Continue adding games. Expand the service to even more countries. Take this Cyberpunk 2077 bump as a windfall. Remember, Stadia was giving away controllers and chromecast ultras before the news of the broken game broke. They already saw Cyberpunk 2077’s release as an event to build a campaign around. Any change in course due to this windfall is a deviation from the long-term plans and would likely compromise those plans. Mentioned:

Hey Xbox and Playstation fans, I’m one of you, I love video games, and I’ve got some wonderful news to share with you. Xbox. Playstation. They both believe in console generations. They just lie to us about it differently. Maybe “wonderful” isn’t the way to describe that news, but it’s one less thing we all need to waste energy fighting about.

I was recently asked by TopSpot123 if I thought Playstation 5 games would appear on Playstation Now, the service from Playstation that allows subscribers to download and steam over 650 games from across three Playstation console generations . Of course they will. Why not? But then I thought more and realized, there’s lots of “whys not” which open up to a larger, and perhaps more interesting question: will Playstation Now ever offer same-day and date exclusives like Xbox’s Game Pass does? So, to the first question: Will Playstation Now feature Playstation 5 games. Yes, Playstation Now, and I’ll throw in Playstation Plus, Playstation’s online service, will have Playstation 5 games. Eventually. Definitely not at launch. Let’s use history as an example. The Playstation 4 was launched in November 2013. Playstation Now was launched just over 1 year later, in January 2015. And it wasn’t until almost 3 years after that…

The Google Graveyard is a myth. Well, it's not a myth, myth. It's right there. But the way it's been used as a harbinger of Google Stadia's inevitable doom is wrong. I'm going to tell you why. Ever since Google announced their game streaming initiative, called Stadia, large pockets of the gaming world have doubted its potential to succeed, and some outright hate Stadia for even existing. Now, believe it or not, I don't necessarily blame them. Antagonism towards the unknown can be a natural reaction. I get it. Here's this mega corporation, Google,  trying to buy it's way into the living rooms of gamers who have already aligned themselves to companies and platforms that have had to work hard for years to earn that alignment. Stadia’s existence, to those devoted Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, and PC fans probably feels disingenuous and pompous. But sometimes the justification of that antagonism is…
