How can a big company like Google have blunders like this? I'm not a fortune 500 CEO and even I know that this is a bad idea. This shyt can only work in places like Japan, Switzerland, Hong Kong. Places where super highspeed internet is the norm. The US is a first world country that's behind technologically. Mega corporations like Comcast and AT&T have a monopoly/duopoly on internet services so there's little innovation.
If they simply made it a subscription service most of us wouldn’t be out here laughing and wishing them the worst.At some point somebody might have said this about DVD Netflix and streaming Netflix.
This is unshackling end users from hardware. The issue is the way they're going about doing it doesn't work. The whole thing should be a service. If you're gonna make people buy games then people are gonna want some type of actual ownership of them.
Both Sony and Microsoft have plays on this as well. Perhaps the tech just isn't there yet but it's not too hard to imagine a future where it is there.
I don't think anyone is wishing for this to fail. More competition is always better. We just see it for what it is. Another half hearted attempt by Google.If they simply made it a subscription service most of us wouldn’t be out here laughing and wishing them the worst.
I mean, I am. Charging a monthly subscription fee and having the audacity to charge full price for the games as well is pretty flat out disgusting to me.I don't think anyone is wishing for this to fail.

Yeah I don't know how they sat in a room and decided it was a good idea to go that route.I mean, I am. Charging a monthly subscription fee and having the audacity to charge full price for the games as well is pretty flat out disgusting to me.
