Imagine that. Just going on YouTube, searching for a game, pick up your controller and just play. Like no installation and no loading times. That sounds like the future! But yeah, I guess there are some issues that needs to be ironed out before we’re there.
Isn’t that what Stadia was supposed to be? We have the tech, people are just so skeptical of Google (with good reason) that the project died.
As for what they are talking about here, it seems they are trying to replace the old flash game sites. It could work, but I think they might be butting up against the mobile market more than they realize with this.
Stadia was basically a game console as a service, assuming you had good enough internet. You had to pay for the subscription for access, then pay for each game individually. The one benefit of that was very little initial barrier to entry, as you just needed chromecast and a stadia controller.
Youtube playables appears to be just lightweight html5 web app games that run locally in your browser, similar to what flash player was like.
Yeah that was what Stadia was supposed to be. Didn’t read the article here, but I guessed that they were looking to implement some of Stadias features into Youtube. Which was what my comment was based on.
