I need to double check all mine. I know I have done at least one but need to check the remaining two. Its such a shame, becasue even though they unlocked bluetooth mode which is great, I cannot see a reason why they also couldn't open up the WiFi chip so we could connect directly to Amazon Luna for example.

I never had any issues with Stadia and it became my go to gaming platform. Had a great time playing through Doom Eternal and also Cyberpunk 2077.
 
People wanted it to be Netflix for games, it wasn't and Google never did a good job of selling what it was. Plus new games were very expensive.

And you needed a decent connection in my experience, I have 30 odd mb and that wasn't good enough for even basic games like Paw Patrol with the kids.

The pricing structure doomed it to failure. If it had been a monthly fee alone, then it would have had more chance to succeed in my view.

Yeah it was a bizarre thing to charge the games at such a high price on top of the monthly fee.

At least everyone got a free bluetooth controller out of it! :)
 
If they hadn't completely messed up the launch and pricing structure, they'd have had a chance.
Google doing anything that isn't a phone or selling ads? We all knew how it was going to go.
