Trying to watch the footie on a Youtube live stream gave yet a millionth reason to *hate* Google- this arm of the NSA (yes- Google is the NSA division responsible for system hardware and software design used for data storage, data mining, data retrieval etc) is so effing hopeless at everything they do outside of a tiny number of core projects.
So even live streaming of a sports event is utterly beyond them. Yet gaming?!.....
Why Stadia? Cos mining and controlling gaming/gamers is the final frontier- the last untapped expansion of the NSA/GCHQ total surveillance/tota; control society.
Mouth breathing dribblers (some in this thread) haven't even heard of 5-eyes, or read any of Snowden's confirmation of GCHQ state-of-the-art total surveillance a decade back. They are like the scum who lived in East German and constantly boasted how stasi surveillance wasn't a thing, but if it was it couldn't possibly impact the lives of ordinary people anyway.
Games are a massive source of intelligence. What you play, how you play, when you play, who you play with, what you say when you play.
Take how you play. A psychological profile could determine your general wellness and mindset from your responses. A week later you are going to get *very* specific targeted ads following you online, in the post, and via cold callers. And google's gonna have a few more dollars in the bank. But that's just a tiny part of the project (yet one that will impact all stadia gamers in a negative way).
But Google has another, specific, orwellian objective. Total game censorship server side.
Client side gaming is something the government *hates*. Once a thing is in your hands, it stays there. But server side and a game can be in a constant state of flux. *Wrongthink* can be fixed on the fly. *No*, you are *wrong*- Laura Croft always wore a Burkha. It's just your sexist lying male brain that tells you otherwise.
I wrote a non-controversial post to some movie site yesterday. Their Akismet filter killed it on upload not cos of content, but because in form it pattern matched some ancient no longer used spam pattern. But Google is rolling out these automated *upload* filters more and more. And Stadia will make massive use of them.
Filthy morons will continue to dribble "if you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear", and be proud of how they stand behind the thugs and bullies - even Hitler in Mein Kampf stated how useful these useful idiots were to his early days, until the night of the long knives.
And notice how persistant these types are in defending Google and suggesting *innocent* intent. Sadly not all these idiots are paid shills. The majority are the mouthy morons always looking for some despot or despotic cause to cleave to, the same crowd who always want to be on the side of the biggest bully at school for the same reason.
Google shed *all* pretence of being a honest player some years back now. It coincided with Google purchasing all the major military robotics firms as it progresses its killer tank drone program for the DoD.
Google = NSA = GCHQ. But today Facebook, Apple, MS etc all compete to do better work for the NSA, and Google feels under pressure to clearly outdo them. An arms race where the enemy is the ordinary user of computers and the internet.
So Stadia is defined by just how many ways it can *hurt* the ordinary gamer. Luckily it is poised to be yet another Google flop.
