      As a loyal Google Play Music subscriber, I felt that. They are killing a service that I've used for over 6 years and trying to move everyone to UA-cam Music, a far worse experience and service, because "UA-cam" was a better brand name. It actually pisses me off because I'd rather they leave me alone even if they never update the app again rather than screwing me and making me listen to some shitty cover version of my library from UA-cam.
      I'm going to move to Spotify or Apple Music, but Google needs to work on their long term support for their services. They seem to love to quickly drop a product or service if it's not getting enough attention or if they get bored with it. I still haven't forgiven them for killing Inbox.

Stadia is my way of playing games now and I don't plan to ever look back to maintaining a noisy console, having cables, deciding which game to delete to make room for Doom Eternal, fearing that I'll lose all my games when next-gen comes out, waiting for downloads, waiting for updates, having a noisy PC, and all that cr*p.
      A better description would be: Stadia is suitable for people that don't want to waste time and effort in overhead.

      Either way, even Netflix doesn't have all the things like it used to due to the festering disease that is exclusivity, which means that you may need to pay for multiple devices just to get what you want, and there's a risk of things moving even after that.

      @Dahn GFN is a service where you essentially rent out a virtual PC to stream your games.
      Stadia is its own platform just like Xbox, PS, Swtich, and whatever other console comes to mind.
      My 3 kids and I daily play on our Stadia accounts without any issues. We have done so since launch in November, so not really sure why you would call it "shite".
      Also, the "subscription" is primarily to give you the ability to play a game @ 4k60fps & 5.1 surround sound as long as the Developer ports the game at max settings. You also get free monthly games. Stadia first promised 1 free game per month, but has been delivering 2+ games since launch. June we received 6 games, and July we got 4 games.
      If you opt for the free version of Stadia, you get 1080 & stereo sound.
      There is also no fee to play multi player games as you would expect to pay for Xbox, PS & Nintendo.
      A lot of people confuse the "subscription" part to mean Netflix, but it is actually more like Amazon Prime. You have Prime (Pro) titles that you can play, and you have non-Prime (Non-Pro) games that you can buy. There are also tons of sales that rotate monthly with Pro subs getting better sales then non-Pro members.

    In addition to GYLT, another indie Stadia exclusive worth checking out is Lost Words: Beyond the Page. Written by Rhianna Pratchett, it is a unique, simple narrative puzzle/platform game for most ages. I think it's absolutely fantastic and deserves its awards. The red dress on the girl is optional in that game, by the way.

    Just wanna say I've realized I've been watching zero punctuation since I was introduced to it on XPlay and then I realized how old long that really is. So, thanks for all of the reviews until now and thanks for all the reviews yet to come.

    You do know that some of us still have consoles from like 10 to 20 years ago, we got all entertainment we need even when the internet is down.
