Hello Stadia dev team, Periodically, I like to chime in with things I see in game or comment on the platform but today I have recommendations I would like for you to consider. Firstly, I love the platform. It performs beautifully with almost no noticeable flaws. With that I do see room for improvement. Stadia is advertised as 4K 60 Fps capable, I am not going to argue that but this is also a little misleading. Some games are just not brought to the platform with these capabilities. This leads me to suggestions 1,2, & 3. 1. Add a 4K symbol to the corresponding games that actual support it right on the main page or where you can select a game. 2. Add a FPS counter in the sub-menu while in-game, maybe next to the settings symbol. This absolutely cannot hurt anyone. 3. Add a resolution capability symbol (right next to my 4K symbol) on the main page. If a game can only run 1080p, 30 Fps put it out there. These suggestions above are to directly counter the "Stadia is dead" argument and to bring an understanding to the community on Stadia performance versus what a game can actually output. Stadia can and does perform but the 4K 60 Fps advertising that has traditionally been done has landed Stadia in the crosshairs of some pretty ugly reviews, and rightfully so. Its unnecessarily misleading. My next suggestion is to add in an optimization button for internet. This can save many people a lot of trouble by correcting / indicate to that person they may want to tone back those max graphics settings because they do not have the internet to support it. Or, max it out because your internet is magical. This would also be a good investment in the "Stadia is dead" counter argument. This last is a wee bit more involved, Stadia should incorporate a hardware and OS page somewhere in the menu. This is to identify any build changes that occur and or model CCU a person might be using when something goes wrong. I only bring this up because the Stadia community is sometimes left to sort out their own problems and this information can be helpful in tracking an issue or if a problem is tied to a build or product. So with that, good luck and keep the games coming!
