I love how nobody has mentioned google's thing in here

I'd say that's the appropriate response

Personally, I still like Classicvania despite its stiffness. Classic Mega Man, though? Not so much.

I'm the opposite. Most of NES Mega Man has aged really well in my book (by which I mean, everything except for 1 and some parts of 2).

But I can't deal with the controls of Classicvania. The series may as well have not existed for me until the advent of the IGAvania era when it started being the latter half of "Metroidvania" in genre.

hah grenola google's thing looks totally useless to me

i'm sure it's a great solution for some people, but i have no plans to abandon consoles any time soon

I feel like the only way to stop streaming from taking over videogames is to not talk about the subject.
my thoughts are basically

- I hate the idea
- google will most likely backhand money to devs to convince them to make slowly paced games that won't be compromised by latency issues, so I expect a chilling effect on twitchy fast action games
- difficult to see a situation in which a person can afford lightning fast internet but can't afford a few hundred <insert currency here> for a local console, so hard to see who this is aimed at

which leads into what google are actually doing:

- playing on this service equates to training Skynet
- it will succeed, because google will pump infinite money into it until it does

i share your concerns, but you're forgetting that google sucks at all paid services

they're gonna shut this down in 2 years lol
I like turtles.
We have a big awkward Google+ shaped precedent to demonstrate that Google doesn't always succeed at breaking into something just because they really want to.
yeah, I thought about that

it's possible that within google there may be an attitude that g+ was actually a success, simply because of the data it generated for them
(one of many wacky things believed within google)

I like turtles.
I'd say even if it generated more data it would be a qualified success at best, but like you said, they be wacky. Personally I'm not sure I can fathom the thought processes going on at a company that removes "don't be evil" from their mission statement.

wonder what tdk thinks. he's balls deep in facebook afaik and they're even worse with data than google
One shall stand, one shall ball.
Legitimately all I know about the Google thing is everyone I know of who watched it went, "Wow! That's the exact opposite of what I want!" I haven't seen anyone have anything positive to say about it. Maybe Silicon Valley types like it or something but they like coffee makers with DRM built in or some shit so I don't pay much attention to them.
lol yes and that juicero thing
I can't think of a better example of why silicon valley are the last people who should be responsible for curating worldwide discussion
"let's allow our internet to be censored by people who buy fruit mush in hilariously overpriced DRMed foil packs which require a dedicated, expensive machine to rehydrate"

guess microsoft realized what a special game that is, and wanted people to actually play it lolol
Honestly don't know what's going on with Microsoft and Nintendo lol

Maybe they have a a major collaboration coming up that they want to ease people into? Doesn't seem like Nintendo though
One shall stand, one shall ball.
Microsoft and Nintendo aren't really direct competitors at this point, selling their stuff on Nintendo's platform gives them another revenue stream and doesn't really cost them anything.
One shall stand, one shall ball.
Perhaps they have finally realized that making your products more available is good, actually.

there's been heavy rumors about xbox live coming to switch

i think it's more that microsoft wants to do what google is going with stadia (they've said as much), and nintendo is a good place to start since sony is a way bigger competitor
