@Genrader This has turned **bleep**posty, I've already admitted that by comment number 4 or something, I was just doing it for the **bleep**s and giggles. That aside, the things I say may be obvious to you, you seem to actually be educated, and have some critical thinking skills, but, and this is a big but, what is obvious to you, isn't obvious to everyone, as is evidenced by the pudhback I get when I criticise stadia, if everyone could see what you so obviously see, just like I do, then they wouldn't try to argue with me, they would try and counter my points, with observations of their own, but most of the comments I get from people like @ChaosTheory do not seem to come from a place of logic and observation, they seem to be visceral comments, made to either attack my character, insult me, or otherwise discredit me without actually positing a counter argument. Now if you want to try and discredit me by labeling me as blackpilled, you're going to have to do much much better than using high school psychology, and the fallacy that anyone saying something negative, and that isn't going to "go fix the problems", is blackpilled, that's weaksauce dude, very weaksauce. You have piqued my interest slightly though, maybe you can entertain me, while the government is in control of my sex life, and I can't flee back to my US home.

@Genrader There's a vast difference between blackpilling/being blackpilled, and being a pragmatist. Biden (Well at the very least, a large section of the DMC) was involved in mass voter fraud, the current sitting POTUS couldn't even get a fair hearing, when there is evidence of electoral fraud everywhere. Time magazine basically bragged about it https://time.com/5936036/secret-2020-election-campaign/ Understanding, that I can't affect any real change in this situation isn't being blackpilled, is being realistic and pragmatic, the same can be applied to everything I've said. Blackpilled also implies unhappyness, I'm generally very happy, just not with certain things, but if we talked face to face about what you did last week, you'd find me a vastly different person to the comments I make to Google.

@Whito Dude, tomatoes though, satisfying beyond reason. I never thought I'd be talking about how much I like growing tomatoes when I was a kid with a stick up my ass about all the worlds wrongs that at the end of the day, never change, just the media spin on what's currently "wrong"

Don't get me started on the Guardian, I'll end up writing a 2000 page essay about the fact that thanks to intersectionality the same groups of people are similtaniously fighting to have all "male" words removed from the English language, like women, fireman etc, and the same groups are now having fits that the term womxn (a word they spent years and untold money fighting to have accepted into normie talk) is disempowering women. The right side of history changes daily with these people, it's not enough to just be accepted like everyone else, they have to control everything around them, lest you accidentally call a feminine looking girl "miss" and give her PTSD.

@Whito Solid advice, but I don't have anything better to be doing, I'm back in the UK, my missus can't come round because my neighbours call the police (covid rules), so I'm just killing some time talking to the lovely people who personally attack you, then call you out for "supporting online bullying" and don't see the irony in it all. It's all just for **bleep**s and giggles at this point. 
Also, I'm not taking any metaphorical road, if you perceived what I've been saying as me "taking the high road", that says far more about where you are coming from, than I!

How exactly do I support online bullying, my dude, you're really reaching for any kind of character assassination here, to the adults in the room, this is as good as admitting that you just can't counter the many, many valid points that I've made about the failures of the stadia team, for some reason, decided to take it personally, and now you need to discredit me. Just do me one favour, prove Godwins Law wrong, just this once, and don't call me a Nazi because you think that the stigma of the word will scare me, lest people belive you, if you want to come after me, do a competent job!

@Shipman The most interesting thing I've noticed, is that usually the first person to take to social media to defend Googles latest atrocities, are usually the kind of people who say things like "no billionaires", "capitalism is racism" and have a hammer and sickle on their profile. The mental gymnastics involved, are Herculean. 
Please, that'd be great.

@ChaosTheory Because I care about the opinion of what is quickly becoming an echo chamber for stadia fanboys. Also, my comments, when I'm actually being serious, generally get very high "kudos", when I was more invested in the platform, I was consistently in the top 3-7 "kudos" users for 6 months straight, that would kind of imply that people tend to agree with me.

@ChaosTheory Well you did kind of post that directly after I was telling a billion dollar company how to run their business, it's a reasonable inference to make my dude. Edit You do seem to be very bitter, angry, and dare I say miserable my friend, which is kind of ironic considering you frequently call me miserable for the criticism I give to stadia, and recently commented something along the line that I was angry that Stadia "ruined my life". I'm sorry, I'll leave you alone now, this kind of feels like I'm kicking a kitten.

@ChaosTheory You probably won't believe me, but I don't care. I've run my own company, I'm 42 and retired, I'm obviously not a billionaire, but I don't ever need to worry about money again, so forgive me for thinking that I have some insight into the business world, and gaming world (I've owned ever western home computer from the Atari 2600, Spectrum ZX81, to an RTX 3090 gpu PC, PS5, and new Xbox, I've even imported some Japanese (and other non western) consoles. I may indeed put up, but Google wouldn't employ me, I didn't vote for Biden, and I speak out against corruption wherever I see it,also, I worked almost every hour God sent from age 16 to be able to have retired now, I want to enjoy life, sleep in till midday if I want, or covid permitting, fly to Mauritius on a whim, I can't do those things if I go back to work. I don't understand why criticism of the stadia platform offends you so much, if it is as solid and great as you claim, then my criticism should mean nothing to you, you seem to be in some form of irrational denial, like agamer version of Stockholm syndrome. But hey, what do I know, I'm just a keyboard warrior who refuses to apply to be chief executive in charge of Stadia? 
@Whito Sadly I find myself starting to agree more each month, and I do fear that you're right, both about the money, and the management.

@Whito That's basically the stage I'm at, I'm back split between keyboard type games, and heavily nodded games like skyrim and ark on the PC, and exclusives on the PS5. Though I still generally check in with stadia every month, and every month I sigh a little bit more inside, at the lack of progress Stadia continues to make. I do still hold hope for a major internal reshuffle, after the announcement that Google scrapped Stadias in house games development at the start of last month, thing is though, something like that won't actually have any real world effect for a long time. It was kind of a mixed announcement too, I don't know if I should take “You can continue playing all your games on Stadia and Stadia Pro, and we'll continue to bring new titles from third parties to the platform,” As a good thing or bad, if they relocate all the money to in house games acquisition, great, but if they just scrap the in house games division, and continues to gain games if and when the original developers get round to doing it, then we will continue to see painfully slow release of games, and never see the keyboard/mouse designs that were leaked earlier on. It's like I've been saying since day 1, New platforms are made or broke by word of mouth, and the general impression of Stadia when you step foot outside of this tiny cheering squad, the guy on the street that has never even used the platform will tell you that it's garbage, they've even given away CCUs and controllers for free to practically anyone who wants one, and still nobody uses the platform. If Stadia want to fix this, it's going to take a huge effort and a lot of money spent in a massive marketing campaign that's honest, and tells the world that changes have been made, big BIG changes. Rambling again, later.

@truferblue22 I'm not miserable, I'm just not a mindless idiot, that hands out over the top praise for what I (and all countless people that have tried Stadia and left) consider a failure, nor do I pass out empty platitudes or meaningless comments, like the ever present "Lets Goooooooo!"   Stadia has been mismanaged since day 1, there are simply too many issues to address in one post without it becoming an essay, for example, take the above poster asking for a "search" functionality, something that I could have programmed and implemented myself in the time people have been asking for it.   I stay a paid member at stadia for the ever decreasing hope that the management will be fired, and a new team put in charge that listens to its player base, instead of ignoring the requests, complaints, criticism etc, as the current management do, and seem bent on steering stadia directly into failure and obscurity.   For me this was never about money (saving on PC upgrades etc, new consoles every 6-10 years, if it worked that would just of been a bonus), for me it was about the possibility of a total paradigm shift in not just gaming, but home computing. Stadia toyed with keyboard and mouse designs, and hinted quite heavily at the possibility of selling not just games, but software, and eventually replacing the need for a PC, with a simple app, useable on a smart TV. Instead of seeing a move towards the paradigm shift that would litteraly change the way the home computer is perceived, we're still waiting on games that should have been procured and ported over on release. In short, Stadia was a beautiful vision, badly implemented, badly managed, underfunded, and the result is that at the time of writing (approx 12+ hours after this post), a total of 69 people "kudos" this post, the official forums "weekly news segment", managed to get less positive interest and feedback than CNN give to Donald Trump. Go play RDR2 online right now, and try multiolayer, see how long you wait, if you are patient enough, that's RDR2, one of the biggest best games in the last decade, and there's zero stadia multiolayer presence, other platforms are instaqueue. This is getting too long, as I said it would if I started to actually address individual issues. Praise incompetence if you wish, in the meantime, I'll stick with calling out failures when I see them, politely at first, as constructive criticism, but when nothing improves, the politeness will drop, as it has now. 
@ChaosTheory Hey buddy, do you get my point about Ark yet?

I'm not even going to bother to answer those questions, they've all been answered in some form or another more than once in the several posts I've made about trying to get Stadia to run without lag, I've spent over £1000 on equipment in my UK home alone, you can infer from that how much effort I've put into trying to get a stable stream.

I've been "gaming" since before there was a word for "gamers", obviously I have experienced the occasional lag whilst playing online, almost all of these I can either explain away by the large - DBM number of my WiFi ((which vanishes when you connect via ethernet) and also, hasn't applied to either of my networks for years) or poor placement of routers/access points/channel interference. Once you have eliminated these problems, you can find out exactly what service you have coming in through the pipe, courtesy of your ISP, which is solid, and enough to run 10 CCUs simultaneously.  If you need further proof that it's a Stadia side issue, I can use 1 ccu, get crippling lag that lasts 10-15 minutes, and in the meantime, log into my other ccu in the bedroom, and have perfect service, go back to the main TV, only to find crippling lag still affecting it. This happens in both directions, ie it does not matter which one I'm playing on, when it lags out, the other is fine, and now everything in both my homes are connected through a Netgear Orbi mesh system with ethernet backhaul, so everything with an ethernet port on it, is basically directly connected to the pipe. THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE STADIA NETWORK, it isn't just me, and there seems to be no rhyme or reason behind it, garbage systems running 60mb or lower seem to run fine, and without issue, top of the range systems stumble and fail.  You may not be a network engineer, but the research I've put in to potential problems, and ways to fix them, I could probably make a good living as one now, so thanks Stadia, at least I understand my broadband a lot better now.

If I was in charge of Stadia, I would  A, have had chat and profiles sorted before release.  B, designed a mouse and keyboard  C, gone after every game licence I could have, and ported them to stadia yesterday.  D, given users control over audio (let them use the controller to talk, and listen to the game from your soundbar/sonos system /whatever. E, gone after software licensing, photoshop and word etc on Stadia. F, listened to the user base when they said we hate zero communication and x, y, and z things that you're doing.  G, priced the games in line with PS, Xbox, and Steam/PC games. H, other stuff.
