In case you don’t follow me on Twitch, I’m currently streaming live reactions to E3 2019, the big gaming conference. One of the first conferences was for Google’s new Stadia game streaming service which in general, seems like the gaming community hates with a burning passion. With all the negativity towards it, I wanted to throw my hat in with a more positive but still critical commentary.

Price

I think the biggest selling point for Stadia so far is the price. This is one of the few things I’ve seen die hard haters agree on and that’s the fact that it’s inexpensive. Stadia comes in two plans, a free Base plan and a $10/month Pro option. No matter which plan you get, you buy the games outright. Pro isn’t like Netflix where you get access to the entire library for one price but instead more like PlayStation Plus or Xbox’s Games For Gold programs where you get 1-5 games a month for free as a bonus.

Dear TWiT:

If you have seen things I’ve shared in the past, you might know that I’m obsessed with Technology and been critical of some of the changes you’ve made in the past. The past few years have been a bit rocky over there with various controversies, studio changes, show cancelations, etc. For a while, I tuned out of all but one show (All About Android) cause things had gotten to a point where a lot of it was just uninteresting.
