Some might point to >/vx/, but I'm curious if anyone has anything to say about the shit Google is trying to pull with their upcoming "Stadia" product or the threat of cloud services in general.
In a nutshell it looks like another scheme to get consumers to give up ownership in favor of renting more services. It's another cloud computing scam. Give up your hardware to use theirs instead. They're enticing people with the prospect of not needing to make the upfront purchase of a console and then just streaming a game that's being played on a server farm in one of their data-centers. The soy boys are eating this shit up and are regurgitating out of context metrics like 4k 60fps streaming.
If there is one small comfort, it's that Stadia is basically guaranteed to be dead on arrival. Cloud gaming is not a new concept. It has been tried and has failed in the past due to technical hurdles that Google has done nothing to solve. Most notably such services suffer from atrocious input lag simply because your signals are bound by the speed of light. Furthermore such intensive streaming will consume huge sums of network traffic and will cause problems for ISPs and user data caps. To top it all off, Google's subscription scheme looks Jewish enough to actually be more expensive than simply owning a console in the long term ($130 to buy the controller and network box + $10 a month to subscribe to the service + MSRP of each game that you want to play). Plus, ofcourse, you'll lose everything that you've paid for if you get banned for whatever reason (wrongthink)
I for one absolutely hate most cloud services. I always tell my family members to always replace the words "the cloud" with "someone else's computer" and to think really hard about whether or not that replacement suddenly makes the service sound creepy. Because "the cloud" is simply "someone else's computer." If entrusting something private to someone else's computer sound's creepy, it's because it is creepy.

But the reason why I posted it here instead of /vx/ was because I don't want to talk about gaming. I want to talk about the trend of the globalists encouraging people to forfeit ownership in favor of perpetual subscriptions. Stadia is merely a recent example that's in the news. It's a political topic and not a gaming one.

Yeah, it's shit
Yeah, companies are trying to take as much control as possible over the people
yeah, gaming is the only platform where we can still spread right wing messages because of the way some game servers are managed (decentralized) thus it is one of the few "free" places on the internet that still stand.
As soon as game servers and games in general are taken over by companies, then truly there will be no more freedom of speech on the internet and everyone will finally be contained within their ecochambers, just like ((they)) want.

Anyone who buys any streaming good from google deserves what happens in three years when they get bored of it and shut it down.

I've given up on current year gaming, the western industry in particular. I saw it being derailed and perverted for the better part of the decade. Blizzard got taken over by the SJW Brigade, Gay Ben turned into a VR Megajew and people buy into obvious low effort fails lies like Fallout 76 like Flies go all over literal shit..
I would not trust Google of all fucking companies on anything after all the shit they've done, are doing and plan to do in the future. Complete Skynet World Order. And this Stadia thing in particular is bound to turn into one of the biggest scams the video game industry will ever see, especially with the uncertain legal problems in regards to the property of digital distribution products. Not to speak of the connectivity problems.
Waiting for the second video game crash to happen any year now. Hope that one will wipe the slate clean for good.
Decided to get out of PC Gaming in late 2016. Best decision of my life as far as entertainment was concerned. Now I can spend my spare time with emulation and modding of Systems that are actually fun to play if i wish to. On top this stuff is creative and i learn something while exploring.

I'm just a bit appalled at how easily the masses will applaud a terrible nightmare future just because of some marketing spin.
It's like they want to live in their tiny house or pod hotel while owning nothing. For their whole net worth to be perpetually poured into subscription and rental services. Cook your own food? Nah, who owns a kitchen in the FUTURE when they can just order out with grubhub or uber eats. Travel with a car or bike? Just ride-share bro. Who needs to own their own hardware and software when your vidscreen can just stream content to you from a SUPER COMPUTER in data center. How fucking cool is that!?!?! What kind of pleb owns the shirt on his back? Stay on top of the latest trends while saving time and shelf space with clothing rental services.
They want the people to fully immerse themselves in this complete consumer culture. To live their whole lives in their little capsule box until they've been drained of everything and that capsule becomes their casket.
They want people to be entirely dependent on the good graces of their masters to survive. People who won't dare rock the boat and risk being locked out of every service that they rely upon to live.
The media corporations are exalting that kind of lifestyle in the media that they push. They try to make people feel good about how it is allegedly better for the planet and has a smaller carbon footprint. The normalfags just eat that shit up without noticing that the people who tell them that they should aspire to own nothing and live in a shoebox are the media elite who do not practice what they preach and instead live in opulent mega-mansions with a collection of luxury cars and a private helicopter for their daily commute.
The only silver lining of this dystopian future that I see is that by stripping a man of everything, they strip from him any reasons to shy away from fighting back.

>goolag STDia
What nigger would even like this piece of shit?
Brb, modding my Classic PS2 to run of an SSD, meaning I get to play all PS2 games.
Maybe when I'm done, I'll download some new roms for my Retropi.
Maybe I'll experience some Pokemon romhack on original hardware except not really, by buying an old GBA and then modding it with a Raspberry Pi.
Because I can do that, because I'm not a nigger who buys modern consoles.

>If there is one small comfort, it's that Stadia is basically guaranteed to be dead on arrival.
I fully agree with this assessment. But Google/Alphabet will make a shitton of money from it, and in the end people who buys into it will loose their money. There is no way Google/Alphabet's move into game streaming will pan out successful. So this sounds like either a huge moneygrab by Google, and/or they are doing a preemptive move making a shitty service to kill any potential good services that will come later. Not that I think game streaming will ever work.

It looks to me more like an attempt by Google to break into the ISP infrastructure market by placing undue strain on existing infrastructure so they can "heroically" step in and start laying their own cabling down, setting the stage for whatever it is they'd do with their own internet infrastructure. Like we even need to guess.

Don't be gay and don't bring that here, the "Suck a million dicks" talk's for fanfiction review threads only.
Btw did you think my "Goolag STDia" line was clever? I think it was almost as clever as how I openly pointed out how Cloud Gaming is an obsolete concept, since you can just download ALL games to a drive, then play them on whatever. CDs are already pretty much obsolete, and so is Cloud Gaming. Why pay to download some games when I can instead download all for free, and only fund the devs I like?

The only reasonable "why" is for Google, or whoever hosts the service, to perform a power grab and seize rights away from the customers. It's basically the jew's wet dream. They'd love it for anti-piracy because the game's code would never enter the wild. They could keep developers in line since the developers would NEED them to get their product out. The developer's work could be erased from existence with the flip of a switch because no one out side of google's data-center would have a copy. The consumers need to stay in line because they're at google's mercy because they need google to access the software that they've purchased.
If we assume, foolishly, that the product was designed in good faith, then it is only beneficial for the tiny set of consumers who are too cheap to buy hardware of their own, but affluent enough to have high-speed internet with no data caps. That and consumers who intend to maintain access to their games while traveling via any stream capable device, but who also still have access to high speed internet with no data caps wherever they may be.
I expect this service to fail, especially since they're including fighting games and rhythm games in their launch pool and those genres are EXTREMELY sensitive to any input lag. However I don't think google intends for the service to be a success. Google is in the market or aggregating data. I think that they might just be collecting more data on how many people are willing to give up autonomy in favor of placing themselves at the mercy of a service provider.

Then stop going for a world record in sucking dicks in every thread on every board. Look at how many times you used the word "I" or "me" in those two posts? No one gives a shit about your life story, and if you kept your posts to the pertinent info you wouldn't get shit on all the time.
