yep instead you pay for each game, approximately the equivalent of a years sub to something like Xbox.
So... exactly the same as xbox... either buy each game at the same price microsoft charges for them on xbox or pay for a subscription fee at the same price as xbox.... the only difference is the subscription fee is mandatory for online games for xbox.
In my stadia home account, most games have a price tag $60 and up.
So the normal price for games?
I don't see any options on getting free games, and they seem to have removed the $10 subscription signup from the store front.
Pro is still there, and it still comes with 9 games right now, more coming next month...
That means old folks out number young 20 to 12 as voters
Why didn't you say they old outnumbers young 5 to 3?
Works in the browser on any phone, and works on any computer. android tv is on its way.
If you're opposed to subscription model then stadia is probably the model for you.
Buy the games you want, and unlike xbox and playstation you don't need to pay for things like online play. No subscription fee needed.
The subscription is to get access to their "free" games and 4k video.
On one hand it's hard to do worse than Google did, monthly subscription + full price games.
The google model isn't monthly subscription + full price games its monthly subscription for 4k/5.1/hdr, a selection of free games every month (just like microsofts business model with xbox games with gold) and discounts. Or just the games outright (buying them with the subscription discount counts for this) and don't pay monthly, you get 1080p and stereo sound without paying monthly.
NVIDIA by rights should tell the game distributers to piss up a rope
How'd that work out for mp3.com and aereo?
The idea that I have to pay a monthly fee *AND* buy the games is ridiculous.
I guess its a good thing you don't have to pay the monthly fee, or if you're fine with just the included games you don't have to buy any games? It's more like xbox games with gold than ps now though.
This sounds exactly like what Google product management is going to do to drum up interest as a hail mary, to try and drump up interest in the product, as it's failing, right before they cancel it.
It's exactly how they said it would be rolled out when they announced it a year ago.
First founders, then later the free tier.
but anything that this would be used for is better used for nVidia Now, which lets you own the game, too.
Stadia lets you buy games outright too, and unlike geforce now you don't have to pay a monthly fee or be limited to 1 hour play time with a 20 minute queue to get in.
all of the Coca leaf extract was removed from modern Coca Cola.
not entirely true. The cocaine is entirely removed but they use specially processed coca leaves still.
Turns out two layers of 100% cotton is 69% efficient at blocking particles the size of viruses - not as good as a mask which is 97% effective, but way better than nothing (especially if worn over a mask).
You really really really misunderstood that study. Two layers of 100% cloth is about 3% effective compared to a medical masks 56% effectiveness. And as for preventing infection it was actually worse than the control group.
There's some question if its better than nothing. The study even says one possible conclusion is that it is in fact worse than nothing.
The control arm was ‘standard practice’, which comprised mask use in a high proportion of participants. As such (without a no-mask control), the finding of a much higher rate of infection in the cloth mask arm could be interpreted as harm caused by cloth masks, efficacy of medical masks, or most likely a combination of both.
Yeah the wife's WinPhone cost just $100...how much is an Android One phone again? I mean sure if you blow $600+ on a phone you can get a lousy 3 years of updates, wanna guess what the biggest market for phones is by far? Sub $300 and on those phones give it up, you aren't getting shit but what it came with.
I paid $250 for mine, same company (nokia) has a cheaper android one model for $159 though. They may go even cheaper than that I just didn't dig very far.
Except that those phones are expensive, this is nice to know.
I paid $250 for mine off contract, there were cheaper ones too.
Uhhh...actually Win 10 Phone got updates a hell of a lot longer than damn near every android OEM, the wife's Win 10 phone got updates right up until the EOL which was nearly 3 years,
3 years of updates is pretty typical for android devices now, especially Android One devices.
An authority is a person who can tell you more about something than you really care to know.
