Stadia poised to get worse press than new WoW expansions

Part of the bad press associated with Google Stadia is due to sour gamer's grapes. Most gamers that have been around for the last decade can recall at least one other company that claimed they could provide a game streaming service that would work well. They can also recall how terribly it failed and how hurt they were to have ever believed in such a fairy tale in the first place.

Get over it.

One thing that keeps me optimistic about the Google Stadia is the sheer size and power of Google's network and influence in the technology world. If they can't do it, nobody can--at least not yet.

Let's not forget that the infrastructure in most areas of our world is incredibly different than it was even 2-5 years ago. The bandwidth capabilities at an affordable price are higher than ever and there seems to be no end to the improvements scheduled for the next 5 years.

Perhaps I'm just hoping out loud, but take what you hear about Stadia with a grain of salt until you try it for yourself.
