Okay, I just read while writing this that game is not launching on the worldwide release date (nov 19?) for Stadia. Of course, that is dissapointing and probably for a LOT of players the reason to buy it on another platform. It makes my below idea totally useless, but I still wanted to share my idea.
Dear fellow Stadians,
Felow Founder here. Received my package Nov 21 and since then I only played a few times on my Ps4 for Stellaris and Star Wars Battlefront (1 and 2). I love the simplicity of Stadia and the fact there is no zooming noise or other hardware-issues like on Ps4.
Although I am a big fan of the service, I have always been critical. Especially on the marketing from Google. In my honest opninion: there is more to be gained from us as community and from internet as marketing source to gather more players, but that is not what my post is about.
It's about the highly-anticipated soon-releasing Almighty Cyberpunk 2077.
Just like a LOT of people out there I can't wait for Nov 19 to finally arrive and take my day off to play Cyberpunk 2077 as much as possible. Thanks to Stadia I can start playing as soon as it launches without the wait for downloads, installs, day-one patches, mailbox arrivals or go-to-the-store-drives.
And that got me thinking: all these Ps4/Xbox/PC players DO have to wait for stuff like that! And I have heard/read a lot about people taking the day off to simply play Cyberpunk 2077. Wouldn't it be awesome if THAT day would be THE day to promote the USP's for Stadia? (instant play, etc.)?
And what would be a better way then to create a Live Stream Event where all Cyberpunk players start streaming the hell out of that game on Youtube? So all these people that need to wait for their game to be finally be playable on their device can "watch" how we are playing that game already. Free marketing and fun for us players!
I think that would be so hilarious. All these haters out there looking at YouTube/Twitch, seeing all these people finally playing Cyberpunk, hopefully realizing they should get Stadia ASAP. However, we need four things for this:
If we could ALL play at the same time on launch day and stream simply from any device we want, just imagine how much attention Stadia would get by simply playing Cyberpunk.
I feel a missed opportunity coming up.
