Growing costs of hardware components and relatively mild gen-on-gen improvements in visual quality are making the classical console business model (subsidized hardware used to drive game sales via exclusiveles) obsolete.

Can’t speak for the quality of Stadia and I am not in the target audience, but I thought it was crazy that people were willing to trust Google that they wouldn’t shut down the service if they didn’t immediately get 10 quadrillion subscribers.
I vividly remember some senior Google exec. getting all defensive on twitter about the jokes about Google shutting down new projects and implying that this wouldn’t be the case with Stadia.
Sure thing, bro!
I might be mistaken, but doesn’t HL2 RTX require a high end 5000 series GPU? I guess I should just try it out on my 3080 (with a 1440 screen) and see how it goes.
That’s definitely true. But I would argue every additional “unit” of graphical improvement is becoming more and more expensive to the point where the relative benefits associated with a single unified platform are not as impactful as they once were.
