Through the Darkest of Times will be my first choice.
Awesomesauce! I guess this might mean more R6-sessions with/against the community team.

Not "instead" but "in addition". This has now been announced as Google's "Immersive Stream for Games", during the recent Google for Games developer summit. If you look at the video clip with the summary of Stadia announcements from there, you will notice that considerable investments in Stadia tech and new types of porting more games are ongoing, and the same goes for recruiting more studios and publishers. The grapevine is full of unreliable information.

Commenting as someone who owns a bunch of triple-A titles but still somehow prefers to spend most of their gaming time on the indies instead: Variety is the spice of life. It takes all sorts and genres to make a well-rounded assortment. Calculating the ratio of AAA to indies on the Stadia store, and comparing that to competing stores, the selection already has been rightfully accused in the media of being very much on the "gamer-y" side. Gamers are a fickle bunch. Their consumer culture is characterized by very high degrees of privilege and sense of entitlement. Satisfying their ravenous appetites for whatever they don't have at their disposal at any given moment is a Sisyphean task. Customer expectations is an eternally exploding outwards spiral in every booming business, but in the games industry that's so driven by hype marketing, it's frankly nothing but ridiculous. It's a culture of spoiled brats having a hard time growing up. That's what I think of the whiny demanding replies under social media announcements of perfectly good indies, and that's one more reason I don't wish to be labelled a gamer.

I really, really like the activity feed. That's something I think I'll be enjoying. Multiple selections of captures will be good for removal and maybe bulk download (probably not sharing as albums yet), however what I really need is more ways of filtering my captures collection, both by game, by vid/pic/gamestate and by time intervals. My collection size is… considerable.
That's an excellent suggestion. I don't know why I didn't use the phrase API as such, although that's exactly what the idea entails. Feedback option it is!

There have been a number of community efforts lovingly creating third-party services and software to help enhance the experience around Stadia gaming for one another. The browser extensions, the game databases, the Discord Rich Presence. However, they all seem to run into a common shortfall: The games must be manually looked up and their data must be updated by hand, instead of there being an easy way to access the information for every published and available game off of Stadia.com. Because that detailed info such as language support or even anything other than a title and an image  is behind a regwall, it can't be polled by scripts. Having a reliable, Google-updated source for that info that could be spread with no further human error sources into the various fanmade services could really boost both the uptake of the services and willingness to make them in the first place. Maintaining an updated database with these shadow drops and whatnot happening is something of a responsibility, and some otherwise great projects risk falling by the wayside when their manual updates become too much of a chore. It doesn't have to include prices or anything that would vary between regions. Just an interface for looking up the info that's listed in the bottom table on every game's store page, in whatever language. English should be fine.

The global disruptive impact of a work-anywhere CAD industry could be considerable, and I'm certain that both 3D designers and software publishers have taken note of what's happening in cloud gaming, particularly with Stadia as the leader of the pack offering more than just streaming VMs.
Already got Unto The End last week, I'm good thanks!
Looking good, that's a great tip. Thank you!

I'm rezzing this thread because I'm still interested in exploring this. @Dare or others, do you have any ideas for doodling out some paper builds? Either DIY or from a pick-your-parts manufacturer. Let's assume we make it as thin-client and cheap as we can, while also assuming we're not shopping for second-hand parts. Maybe one desktop version and one laptop version. It's possible that certain Chromebooks will turn out to be cheaper than building a custom laptop, of course. Optionally, we might add the Pro-enabled dimension for 5.1/HDR/4K support. (I know, a "desktop version" could be a Chromecast Ultra plugged into a monitor, but let's assume we want to run in a Chrome/Chromium/Edge tab with keyboard and mouse.) If only the Raspberry Pi 400, the "computing keyboard", could have dealt with VP9, that would have been my first choice for the sheer convenience. Other single-board computers might still be on the table.
Interesting that you mention YouTube also gets it, because the preferred codec there is the same that Stadia prefers and that Chromecast supports, VP9. I'd say that sound advice you got sounds sound.

I saw a photo or a video of a setup using a wheel and a laptop during the recent F12020 free weekend, so there are at least some people out there in the wild who can do it. And if it can be used with F1, it's also on Grid and Dirt. I didn't notice which brand the wheel was.
Happy birthday to us!

@Chufu This has now helped me, as well. Have one Kudo from me!

Watch the video for Strange Brigade (spoiler alerts) and say this doesn't look like great fun. Wow. I loved playing Zombie Army 4 with friends. @Kaideh, I'd say two of them are not first-person, so they get off on account of not being FPS'es, and the third one isn't in real time, which makes for another genre of action shooter entirely. Ubisoft has revealed that UNO will be coming to Stadia, so there's that.
@Hongoville @Devien @Shibbo I have seen reports of people "cheating" this requirement by letting their phone Wi-Fi tether to another LTE device on the go.

On Baldur's Gate 3: Only the early access is confirmed for 2020. Which I'm totally getting day one. Source: Eurogamer interview  What's the nature of your situation with Stadia - is it early access first, then Stadia, then full release on PC? Walgrave: Were releasing simultaneously on Stadia and on Steam in early access. So it'll be sort of "Stadia early access" as well as Steam Early access? Walgrave: Yeah. I don't think Stadia has a word for it. But, I don't think the contract explicitly says that we need to be on Stadia first or something like that.
Cool
