Description
Google Stadia's 2019 announcement promised several features that actually could have been disruptive game-changers for the industry (such as State Share, Stream Connect, Crowd Play, and Crowd Choice). Unfortunately, however, each of those features was absent from launch, and as of late 2021, less than 10% of the total library included one or more of these features. As the death knell tolls for Stadia, we look back on the service and wonder what could have been had Google taken the platform's good ideas more seriously than its bad ones.We'll also be discussing how Overwatch 2's launch day was marred by DDoS attacks, why Mario's butt in the new Super Mario Bros. Movie poster is so controversial, how PlayStation Stars is giving top members "priority" chat support, and how milk has declared itself the "official performance drink of gamers."Finally, Donnie takes us all the way back to October 1992 with his Retro Rewind.We love our sponsors!
