Good news for Lemmings, looks like Stadia is having a bungled launch: No web UI, No way to buy games without your phone, no achievement system at launch

[102020393023445948594 2,223]

 The achievements system won't have a UI at launch, but it will still capture achievement so you can see them when a UI is available.
- Only the Founder's Edition Chromecast Ultra will support Stadia on launch day. Existing Chromecasts won't
- Family Sharing is not available at launch. Recommended to just buy a second version of a $60 game on your account for a kid or other family member to play with, and then eventually be able to share it
- Stadia on iOS will arrive eventually
- Apparently, you need your phone to buy games for Stadia, implying that there's no web UI currently
- Stadia Buddy Pass will not be available to Founders at launch

 

Well atleast MS has a shot at holding 3rd place now, I thought Stadia was really going to give Xbox a run for its money.

How the fuck does Google lack a web UI at launch? What a flop.

they're going after xbox's demographic, gamers who don't care about exclusives, fidelity, or japanese games and just want to stream games.

They really fucked this up 

[Hot Sauce 2,846]

At least the they're tracking achievements and just don't have the UI. Could you imagine if they weren't even doing the tracking? God that would just be so hilariously awful. 2019 and no achievements. Truly awful.

Wow that’s a genuine shit show isn’t it

Damn, Google really dropped the ball on this launch.

Even PSnow in 2016 was more feature complete

what a mess, i thought google was committed to this but the more time passes the more I realize that they're completely half assing it.

If they pull a shit launch its dead. We've seen great consoles never truly recovering from a failed launch, this thing is toast.
