I would buy all my games here if they performed better

Hi guys. This ☝ is an observation after returning to Stadia, and in light of the new generation of consoles. I got the founders back when that came out, but eventually fell off. As someone considering a new console and already owning a PC, I'd probably buy most big titles on Stadia if it offered 60 fps as a minimum when playing on my TV. Upscale from 1440p if you need, but at 30 fps it feels like I'm buying the inferior experience compared of PC or one of the coming consoles. 

It does not feel future proof, and bad to pay such a high price for games when the performance is not as good.

There are so many good features on Stadia. Yet, as long as the tech is comparable to current rather than next gen, it's hard to see why I'd buy e.g. Cyberpunk or AC: Valhalla here rather than a competing platform.

@Regression-2-me That's a fair criticism. I don't game on any other platforms (and hadn't gamed in years before Stadia came along) so the convenience of being able to play instantly on any of my devices (primarily phones and Chromebooks) is enough of a selling point for me. But you're absolutely right that the performance right now may not stand up when compared to a well-equipped PC or console. 

If you could just as easily play on another system and get better quality and performance, why would you commit to doing so on Stadia? That's something that I think the team will really need to address in the coming months. 

If you haven't already, please be sure to share these thoughts with the development team using the feedback option in the Stadia app. They can use comments like yours to help determine future direction and improvements.

I've provided feedback to them, so I hope they take this perspective (and that their leaders again see the service from the same light).
