Do you really want cross-platform play on Stadia?
Short Answer:
Nope. Hold the contamination please.
Long Answer:
I feel implementing cross-platform play could spell Stadia's demise, because it's purity and uniqueness would be compromised. Stadia's playerbase couldn't possibly benefit from adding the PC's higher FPS and abundance of cheats into the mix. Do you really want to arm wrestle someone with a bionic arm? I don't. Stadia gives each player the identical unmodifiable platform to see who's better at the game. The consoles can't even hang their hat on that anymore. Why? Cross-play, same generation multi-tiered hardware, and yup... even cheats. There's a real comfort in getting my ass kicked on Stadia just knowing it's the most level of playing fields.
Stadia, do Stadia.
Yes!
There aren't enough players even with crossplay. Without it, there are not even enough player to even be able to say that such a thing as "enough players" would be capable of even existing.
Well if UNO on stadia had cross play with PC at least there'd be SOMEONE to play with. I love stadia but it's a ghost town for online!
I would never use stadia for FPS PVP anyway. I just want to know whyTF I can't play coop games with people on steam. Is stadia not PC based? They keep saying cross platform, but that is the same platform, just a different service. I'm not a game dev, I don't know the actual limitations, but I'm sick of not being able to play games with my friends because nobody can agree on what to play on. For the record, I have stadia, my own high end PC, nintendo switch, a series S, and a PS5. All because I don't want to be restricted, but even with all that hardware most games still are not cross platform and its infuriating to purchase the same game over and over again. The day I buy into Amazons streaming game service I want one of you to come find me and shoot me
