First I have to say that I love Stadia! I referred my friend to the platform and thought it would be interesting to share her first impressions and my thoughts to Stadia. I think I've just gotten used to how things are so these things don't bug me anymore but I'm sure a lot of new players have these same thoughts:
1- In going to the website and asking her to sign up, "Aren't there any free demos I can try to see if Stadia will even work before I sign up?" - Stadia, a free 5 min demo of any game to see if the platform works before making a commitment would be a nice feature.
2- (in the Store site) "There are too many games here where's the search bar? You think a company like Google who does searches would have figured out a search option." - Stadia, we need a search bar and some way to organize our games (i.e. hide games we don't want to see or play anymore). I realize there is an extension for chrome that does both of these things but it really should be part of Stadia by now.
3- "I don't want to claim these free games. I don't have a big enough hard drive" - I may not have done a good job explaining cloud gaming to my friend but really this is one of the huge selling points of Stadia - no installs, no hard drive space. Stadia needs to do a better job marketing the platform.
