I'm with you there about the forums, and I wish I could join you online. I have my Founder's Edition now, and with one email later I will be experiencing what I believe will be the future of gaming.
I was sceptical. I'm a PC gamer who is used to playing games at high frame rates. I'm now a father who can't really justify upgrading my PC anymore and thought my gaming days were behind me. I'm happy to say, that's not the case. I'm delighted with Stadia so far. It's a lot better experience than the games consoles out there, in my opinion.
