Will Google Stadia Steal Your Games Collection?

well, I feel stupid. I would buy a game from a publisher like EA Sports and be mad that I cannot play the game without agreeing to EULA or handing over cache and cookies after I "bought" the game. Whereas, I would have prerequisite before I paid - I now realise I do not even own the game nor own rights to my exploration data as it is something the console company owns and could just give it to any developer or publusher they want. I may be on a slippery slope from what was from this video, but I cannot be too far off, right?

This was an incredibly well done Games Journalism video, Inside Gaming is really getting going again

The static cut was cute, but a little loud

Google Stadia's model is no different than using services like free to play on the App stores of iOS, Android, Amazon, etc. Its probably closer though to the current model of Xbox Game Pass, especially if you use XBGP for all your current library.

Wait so I can legally mod my phone but I can’t do the same for my console?

I miss Scott Pilgrim vs the World the game why'd it haft to go

I prefer physical media for this exact reason. I have very little money for games as it is I can't afford paying the exact same price and risk it being taken from me. If this is how the market wants to move forward then they need to cut prices to compensate for the lack of ownership before I'd buy into it.

I like not losing a game I bought, seems like a ridiculous concept where you pay money for a game and then a year later the company says "no you don't have that anymore". When you buy a chair the company doesn't come and break your chair and take the piece when they don't want you to make it anymore.

Vibrations was an episode of Theater Mode? Or was that the movie FH just kind of watched on stream one day?

I had hoped this episode would discuss the consequences of having Google study and record every player’s gaming to aid them with marketing ads to you and other commercial uses of our private lives. Google monetizes everything about us on their other platforms, so it will happen here too. Why are you not raising this as a concern?

FUTURAMA!!! YAY!!!! thankfully i'm on GOG a lot more than steam. slightly longer wait for neverwinter nights enhanced edition. but it was woth the wait to get it from GOG. I download and now it MINE!

I just want to say thank you to Lawrence ive really been enjoying and learning a lot from these videos of his. I own quite a few physical copys of games. Though its been dropping rapidly since i really dont have the space for it. Though at times I will rebuy a game just to get the physical copy if I really love the game enough *coughs coughs* viva pinata. Its sad to see things trending this way and goes to show just how little we actually own in our own lives, and only have an illusion to it, that can be snatched away at any moment. Yet again though thank you Lawrence.
