Amazon and Google both having the mindset of "if we just throw a ton of money at it, it will work, right?" is precisely why neither of them has enjoyed any real success in the gaming world yet. This is already a far better crack at cloud gaming than Google's utterly misguided attempt with Stadia, but I fully expect it to meet the same fate. --- Let the voice of love take you higher, With this gathering power, go beyond even time! <cite>Xiahou Shake posted [p:945038662] in There is a...

Well, the common thinking is they are laying the groundwork now for the platform then they will start to get exclusive content (which very well could be buying up studios). --- Xbox Live User Name - Corrik Currently playing: Spider-Man (PS4), Quantum Break (X1) <cite>Corrik7 posted [p:945038738] in There is a...

Team Rocket Elite 09/24/20 6:24:42 PM #11:	Google has money to keep trying forever if they wanted to. The problem is that Google has history of just giving up after a few years if they don't see results. Setting the groundwork and ultimately going nowhere even if the product gains a fanbase is not unusual for Google. Amazon looks to be off to a better start than Google. It sounds like they somehow already have more games despite Google's head start and deep pockets. The pricing model also doesn't seem to ask players to buy a copy of each game which I think Google still does (although some Stadia games are included in the subscription for no additional cost). --- My bracket looked like random picks compared to his.
