Can someone change the latest announcements

Matt1 — Sat, 22 Feb 2020 08:58:51 GMT

I’ve personally really enjoyed the great level of updates in the last few weeks....but it bugs me that the latest announcements have not been updated to reflect all the cool stuff that’s been happening lately. Could someone do something about that? It worries me that with the negative stories out there, potential new players could come to this site and completely miss the updates and only see the main announcements haven’t been updated since 2019 - and straight away forget about joining the Stadia player base!

Please make a February announcement going over all the great progress and some insights into what the last month of Q1 has in store

@Matt1 : This has been discussed already with some of the team, and that feedback was passed onto the relevant department that is responsible for these communications.

Hopefully, this will get streamlined and sorted in due course. I think that there is a bit of learning still going on here, and that is why things don't always fall into order as one would expect. Fingers crossed, and have a great weekend.

@Matt1 I think they are based more on twitter and reddit which is where the biggest activity of the young public is ... the blog is more for old school users

@Whito Thanks - I guess that’s me (old school) as I don’t have twitter or use reddit and I do have kids!!

@Matt1 I would suggest downloading the Discord app. The great thing about Discord is that it gathers all of the latest Stadia updates and discussions from various sites such as Twitter and Reddit for you automatically so that you don't have to have an account for each of them.

@MyFS great tip, thanks!

I only learned about Discord, on an basic level, because of Stadia. And yes, I love when it pings me there w FRESH news, ha... Either blog, Twitter, and/or other.

A lot of the forums are like this nowadays, the people like us who still prefer the old ways are kind of irrelevant nowadays it's all the Facebook the twitter the Reddit pages where the masses are but still, how hard would it be to have someone update a forum for 5 minutes of there time now and again.

Yeah, whatever the Stadia news, it should be spread across all mediums, ideally around the same time. Marketing itself definitely has room for improvement. Hire an intern, Google, maybe? Ha...

Yeah @Stoked4Good or even get someone active from the forum like @Mad_Dog_Bravo to do it, maybe not him but you get what I mean.

@Matt1 Without Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, TV, Radio or press only YouTube for some gameplay and Twitch because my stupid little brother plays Fortine and wants to be a streamer so I help him with a subscription to his channel.

I had my first PC in 1987 with 6 years ... a Tandon 286 so I consider myself old school.

Although without children without hope in the human species for what to reproduce does not make sense to me, although you are a brave, Bravo.

@Mad_Dog_Bravo He is doing an excellent job in the community, I would be glad to be put in charge of giving more information.

@MyFS it is a very good option

@Whito : Very kind of you, but I'm not a Google employee, and the last thing I want to do is to be held accountable for public announcements on these forums...lol

BTW, my first work PC was an Epson QX-10, twin floppy machine running CP/M, I didn't move over to MS-DOS until version 1.10 was released, at which point I then switched over to a bunch of different brands before settling with Dell and later Compaq. I was at the launch of Dell's first 286 PC and met Michael Dell for the first time at the US Embassy in Grosvenor Sq., London which was where they had their press launch. I was also at the launch of the first Apple Macintosh Portable (luggable I think was the term that we finally called it), and for that launch, Douglas Adams (RIP) pulled up outside the Stockley Park Head Office (UK), got out of a Lamborghini, and put the Macintosh Portable on the roof, opened it up and the words "Don't Panic" were broadcast to the auditorium inside..... There was something quite fun about the 80's working in technology companies back then.

@Mad_Dog_Bravo

What a great anecdote ... thanks for sharing. It shows that if I am an old school student, you were simply a teacher.

With 10 years in 1991 I finished my degree MS-DOS, BASIC and typing.

In my City, Barcelona, it was not many years since we came out of a terrible dictatorship and we did not have that representation at a global level, so presentations of that magnitude never took place.

A few years ago I traveled to Croydon for work reasons

You have a beautiful city, and speaking of the embassy, hahaha ...when I went to see Buckingham Palace and its gardens, I spent more than two hours looking for a place to go to a bathroom because the gardens were paid.

I don't have a good memory of the embassy area

Sorry too say the main forum for Staida is very low prioritised by Google employees

Seems that Google is not after that kind of community
