I thought Google Glass would be a big hit and everyone would be wearing some form of holographic lens by 2020.
Technology looks to be stalled in this area.

Oh and I love how you blame the failure of Stadia's launch on every single gamer in existence instead of Google.

But, this is still early development. 2020 will be a great year for Stadia.

Many users, as many tech/game blogs reports, hate to see revolutionary positive change, (NVIDIA/PC/console fanboys) and hoping for Cloud-based failure just to keep their thousands-of-dollars rigs as childish bragging rights.

                  This is true. But remember, the consoles sold at a lost e.g. PS3/PS4 - X-360/XB1(and so will the next-gen) too.

                  Google just needs to work on platform titles.

                  Content is king, here.

                      This Sacrifice has been prepared to mark the asupicious ascension of the God-King Pichai to the throne of the All Seeing G.

                      The End of this insinificant trinket means little, if the Ruler of G is pleased and constantly fed spicy vegan samosas.

                        in video streaming I can wait a sec to load the rest of the movie but in a game, that means failure and nobody likes failure. in an RPG game that might not be a big problem (if u save constantly) but in an online match, it's an absolute no go.

                          Here, we have 1000GB/month plan, for as less as $15~20, at 1Gbps.
                          Cloud gaming has a lot of potential here.

                            atleast apple doesnt experiment with their customers. what a joke

                              They should stick to google search (uncensor and remove their propaganda from it) and google maps and stop wasting money.

The same nay-sayers had complained about 4K video streaming too, (Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, etc 25Mbps minimum) but more people has subscribed to those services more than ever. G-Stadia minimum requirements for 720p is around 15-20 Mbps and 30-40Mbps (36+ for smooth performance) for 4K.

                                G-Stadia (just like 4K Netflix, etc.) is not for everybody (if anyone has less than a solid 20 Mbps connection, they should avoid streaming content altogether) and it is not trying to cater to everyone but it does has tremendous potential for Cloud-gaming and it is the future (GeForce NOW, MS xCloud, Apple's Arcade, etc.,) and it does not matter if you are ready for it or not.

                                The future is now.

                                        Google is at the phase that it has to use some (a lot of) its cash in vanity projects or else she loses it for tax reasons. All companies have those, Microsoft has those , Amazon does, Apple does.

                                        Think about it. Google has created literally nothing new in this decade. She rests on things invented in the 00s or 90s , much like Microsoft (at this point) you can trust that everything she tries will not work. Stadia included, then again its point was not to (necessarily) work merely avoiding paying that same amount ot taxes, so they instead prefer the black hole that cloud gaming is...
