How can we believe Stadia’s Twitter statement?

Jump to Best Response

Stadia replied the Business Insider’s article on Twitter yesterday. 

I’m sorry but I cannot take their reply seriously. 

For over two years their reply to any criticism has been to promise exciting things to be planned for the future, and this is the important bit, they always tell us they can’t actually share details we just have to trust them. 

They told SG&E employees they were doing great work then fired them days later. 

If they’ll lie to employees they won’t hesitate to lie to consumers to keep the subscriptions rolling in.

We can't trust it at all. As a founder I understood that this may not take off, and it hasn't even though I love and prefer playing on stadia, i've only been disappointed by just about every this week on stadia, I was able to recommend stadia in the beginning because I thought it would get better, and it hasn't. It's hard to disagree with the people canceling their subs, even though for me I get more than my moneys worth with the convenience of playing anywhere and playing quickly, people have been complaining about the same things since stadias release and it's obvious google isn't listening.

Dude, just quit Stadia. It's never going to satisfy you on any level. Walk away. If you're not screeching in to the void here, you're doing it on Reddit on an almost daily basis. It can't be good for your mental state.

Hey now he may be a huge fan just like me trying to understand what is going on with Stadia. People spend money for games so a lot of us are trying to make **bleep** sure we are not spending money on something that will be gone next year. Google needs to read post like this hell its about time for change. It's not hate it's fans trying to save it.

Trying to gaslight people who you don’t agree with is very telling. As is the fact you don’t even address any of my points.

I'm not trying to gaslight you. All your posts effectively boil down to the same couple of points - comms and transparency. Google has done *nothing* to address those in the couple of years you've been posting about them.

It should seem pretty obvious that the course Google have set Stadia on is not the one you want it to be. Some people are okay with it and how it's being handled. You obviously aren't. There are other options out there. Gaming is supposed to be a leisure activity, not a campaigning issue.

I think people are worrying too much about it. Stadia was the first real streaming platform. There was and is always a possibility it would fail. Usually the first tech platform for anything fails, because those that follow have an example of what was good and what was bad. 

Google is still promising more games. As long as they keep adding games I'll remain a Pro member. If the platform fails, then the only promise I care about is the one from the very beginning where they said that they were invested in Stadia but if it fails they will make consumers "whole". Whether that means refunding me for games I bought or providing licenses for those games on PC, as long as they do actually make consumers whole, then I'm here for the ride as long as it lasts. 

Personally, I think the shift they are making is because they need to find ways to bring in more revenue. They're not making enough just from Stadia, because not enough people are becoming pro members and people aren't buying enough games. If they're not making enough money from memberships and game sales, they can't attract developers. So they have to make money in other ways to keep Stadia going. If they are successful in bringing in money in other ways then they won't need to kill off Stadia. So I'm all for then doing what they need to.

You have some great points but i will say one thing. The reason people are not on stadia is due to the lack of big games, It's why you see so many people going to geforce now or other stuff. Google needs to understand that anything new will not take off right away it takes time. But not telling people what is going on is not helping at all. I have so many friends who love stadia but will not get it due to google could close it down anytime. Google should just work on the games take the hit now because it will play off in the end or go a Geforce now way. Make it a pro only service that seems to work with people. I have a xbox series x but stadia is something i will always love. I'm just so sick of only having the big three to pick from so seeing stadia was such a nice change.

I think the statement is actually what you say it is, on another hand I'm hearing all our games gets merged into Google play and the fate of the future lies in the hands of the Bungie PlayStation deal. Bungie literally owns our games and the tech right now, best thing to happen is they turn it into PlayStation Now mobile
