I love Stadia and hope it doesn't go anywhere. Playing Destiny 2 with my wife during Corona with free controllers we got for preordering Cyberpunk was an awesome experience. Playing Cyberpunk and then RE7: Biohazard during quick breaks, anywhere, on a potato laptop, convinced me that this is the way we're all going to be playing games not long from now.

Looking forward to playing Resident Evil 8: Village once I finish Biohazard.

I finished RE8 on Stadia on launch day; it looks great on PC but for some reason it looks even better on a TV with the CCU. As someone who's put hundreds of £s and hours into Stadia, I'm quite content with it, I wish it had more games though, most of the free titles that come with Stadia Pro are ridiculous (though, to be fair, they did help me discover gems such as The West of Loathing).

It works really well, it's really a very convincing experience. It's particularly attractive now that Google throws cash at you in the form of free controller + Chromecast.

that potato laptop costs more than the latest playstation though. and it can't really be a potato laptop. you need a good internet connection and good video decoding

Almost every processor made in the last 10 years has the power to decode 1080p 30fps.

That's an entry-level feature on a phone, let alone a tablet or laptop.

A chromebook costs half of a PS5.
