Will Elite Dangerous come to Stadia and xCloud?

I'm on the Stadia hype train. :) I've tested it for a few hours now and I'm positively surprised, it works very very very well! I can play without any lag, graphics look amazing and when I realized I paid almost 3 grand for my game pc six months ago my stomach hurt a bit. Graphics on my pc are of course better, but wit a 2900 euro price gap Stadia is a much wiser choice for your wallet. >_<

The only problem now is the content. There is almost no content on Stadia and I would love to see games like ED coming to the platform.

I hope you guys are with me.

I've had the change to try xCloud earlier this year and I wonder if ED it already supported on that cloud-platform.

Xcloud NO as its not on playstation now thats been around for a lot longer and only requires the user have 5Mb/s connection as its a 720p stream ...

Stadia is more likely but that requires the game run well under a "Native linux" build and Fdev have shown ZERO interest in doing any thing for linux at all, letting others solve issues and problems with no real help even when run under wine..

Remember The Gnosis Google Reader!

I don't trust them not to pull the plug a year later if Stadia doesn't work out.

Dispite the worry that Google will pull the service in a couple of years, I was quite impressed when I had a play with Stradia a couple of days ago. I wonder if FDev would consider it.

Mind you, it might be more likely to appear on X-cloud. I would like a way to play My Xbox account when the Xbox can't be used (Because people are watching TV).

Idk I’ve also used stadia and I didn’t have the same experience. Did you try it at home or in a structured test enviornment? I experienced a whole ton of lag and stutters etc. was told to turn down the graphics to make it run better (why pay for a 4K service if it won’t run 4K?) that didn’t solve the problem either. Issue with stadia is you can’t get around ping and latency. If you’re remotely playing on a computer located a thousand miles away from you, there’s going to be lag and latency. No such thing as instant transfer of data.
Not to mention it’s $120 a year subscription and another $120 to buy it. And games, even old ones, sell for full retail. So you pay for a service and also pay for games. Cancel your service, and you’ve got no games. With your own PC you have faster response, resale value of components you decide to replace so long as they’re not busted and the games are yours forever without a subscription fee.
