@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.
