Is it me or Google seems to be going the way of Big Brother by attempting to centralise all the computing power ?

So Nvidia, Intel wont have business next time as more people shifted to let Google's datacenter( which use Google own AI chips ) to process all their gaming(at first, then more to follow later).

    And gaming suddenly is dying.
    We don't want this. Game streaming deposess you from owning games. Can't play offline. Need fiber Ethernet access to play reliably. Devs are paid unfairly (based on time played).
    This will only benefit those that can't afford real gaming hardware, or those that don't know what gaming is (usually those that get excited about gaming phones, among others).

      it's direct competitor at the moment is sony Playstation Now platform which is not sucessful at all

        Hope this product won't be as bad as Google Glass.

          with Phil Harrison, ex- country manager of Xbox USA and Playstation, they should have a decent product if well researched, but they will have issues with lag and rural places with dodgy broadband, however, with 5g around the corner and tens of thousands of 5g mast, we could have decent lag less experience, if priced ok, this could be the netflix of gaming and it's probably different market to PS4/ps5 or X Box One/ Xbox next, i wonder if google release a future gaming phone stadia phone with built in controller
