Nate AhearnGUEST
yeah happy to thanks for having me excited to be here um i'll i'll start things off that's all right my name is nate ahern i've been in games for gosh more than more than 15 years let's say i won't put the actual number on it just to make myself feel better uh but um i've been in exola for the last year leading product marketing uh before that i was at google where I helped launch Stadia, as well as working on Google Play on a PC-focused product.
Nate AhearnGUEST
Before that, I was at Xbox, working with many independent developers as part of the ID at Xbox program.
Nate AhearnGUEST
So that's a short history, just whizzed through 15 years.
Chris BeckerGUEST
Ever since cloud gaming was a thing, I was big into it.
Chris BeckerGUEST
Like, I remember I played Cyberpunk on launch at, on, uh, Google Stadia.
John RogersHOST
Yeah.
Chris BeckerGUEST
And, uh, yeah, I, I enjoy playing the games on the cloud.
Chris BeckerGUEST
Mm-hmm
John RogersHOST
... after Breath of the Wild, sort of reac- reacclimatizing to games, basically.
John RogersHOST
Tried out Destiny 2 on, um, my MacBook on Google Stadia, um, and the input delay sort of told me what I needed to know about the, the viability of cloud gaming in Iceland.
Chris BeckerGUEST
Right.
BrianHOST
But it's not even Sony that started this.
BrianHOST
It was started with the, um, freaking Google system, the Stadia there.
JoeHOST
Stadia, yeah
BrianHOST
It was all digital.
BrianHOST
You would actually get a subscription service and still have to buy the digital game, and that was a bust back at the time because it was way ahead of its time, and then all of a sudden you get these subscription services that give you-
JoeHOST
Yeah.
DannyGUEST
Yeah, I-
JoeHOST
Yeah, Stadia did it
JoshHOST
in the past couple of months.
JoshHOST
[laughs] Uh, Google released a thing called the Stadia.
ErikHOST
Oh, yeah.
JoshHOST
Which was a fucking little dongle that attached to your TV and a, uh, and a controller, and it did the distributed...
JoshHOST
I, I ran across a timeline here.
JoshHOST
So, um, let me see.
JoshHOST
Number one, yeah, this came out on PS4, Stadia, Windows, and Xbox One on the 10th of December.
JoshHOST
Then PS5, Xbox Series X, the 15th of February, 2022, and, uh, the Nintendo Switch on the 5th of July, 2025.
Shuhei YoshidaGUEST
Like, like the...
Shuhei YoshidaGUEST
You know, I still remember the launch or announcement event, uh, during GDC of the, uh, Google Stadia.
Shuhei YoshidaGUEST
Right.
Shuhei YoshidaGUEST
Phil Harrison was standing there and making like a big, you know, presentation that he's so good at.
LandonHOST
I don't know exactly how well they're going to be used for that, but there is that option.
LandonHOST
I can't remember where I heard it, but someone was saying, you know, it's a real shame that they didn't stick with their own gaming platform because they could have launched these and had Stadia built in.
LandonHOST
But no, they killed that way too early.
LandonHOST
Because, again, if they'd have kept Stadia around, honestly, if they'd have kept it around this long, it probably would be a really good product and doing perfectly fine and would be a great launch partner for this type of device.
LandonHOST
And
CalebHOST
you'd probably sell more of them that way.
9 MINS LATER
CalebHOST
If you just pushed a little bit harder for a bit longer, you might get something good.
CalebHOST
Yeah, and
Will SattelbergHOST
They are a company that has not proven themselves to be able to stay focused on projects for particularly long.
Will SattelbergHOST
Um, Or else this thing would be launching and the gaming section would be all about Stadia.
Will SattelbergHOST
But it's not.
Will SattelbergHOST
It's all about GeForce Now.
Dax Xavier JosiahHOST
It's going to be a fail.
Dax Xavier JosiahHOST
The Google Glass was a lot of Google products was the Google Glass and Google Stadia got the Zune Award.
Dax Xavier JosiahHOST
Definitely.
Dax Xavier JosiahHOST
The minute I saw that, I was like, oh, yeah, this is this is a Zune Award nominee.
JakeHOST
Let me, do you know what? Yeah, let's do this one.
JakeHOST
Google Stadia.
JakeHOST
So Google's cloud gaming platform let players stream console-quality games instantly on phones, laptops, and TVs without dedicated gaming hardware.
JakeHOST
So backed by Google, but shut down within four years.
