Google just announced its new cloud gaming service Stadia due for launch in 2019, and apparently 100 developer kits have already been distributed. First tests look promising compared to other such streaming services such as Geforce Now.

Especially given the increased graphical fidelity of newer titles like Imperator, the possibility of streaming Paradox games instead of continuously updating the gaming rig seems appealing. I wonder, if Paradox would be interested in such services?

Was about to ask if they were allowed to reveal that they were one of the studios would be working on it. Given that you work on mostly non real time games, seems like a good fit. Would love to be able to play Battletech on a controller via a Chromecast.

It seems like so many people want to play Paradox games who do not have a "gaming" computer, and even those who do often have problems with running the games. Having it all rendered and processed through the cloud and played on any device with a browser would be revolutionary tbh

Wouldn't that be the end of mods as you don't have the code and can't make changes yourself. From what I understood you just get the game, no files.

We'll, it's not on the list of games, which isn't surprising. I'm torn between the ease and comfort of streaming a game (imagine just taking a Chromecast with you to a hotel or friend's house as a way of transporting your "console") versus actually owning a game DRM free through GOG (thank you paradox for offering games through them!). I would love to see the option through Stadia just because I could then have fewer instances of late game having artifacts (planets on Galaxy view the size of constellation systems) and crashing. Theoretically, you could have even bigger maps with more people playing on them! And with the new/better automation options, you could have massive empires fighting over galactic domination!! It's a pipe dream, but it's still a dream.

And latency isn't that bad. You know the crybabies will use it as an excuse for when their fleets lose: "I told my fleets to retreat, but it took an extra 3 milliseconds and I lost 2 more ships than I should have! Wah!!!" But there are children everywhere, no matter how old they are. And I guarantee there will be less latency through the internet than the lag I have on the only PC I have that is definitely not for gaming.

And with basic Stadia being free next year, it won't be much different than purchasing a steam game. I imagine they'll figure out a way to do mod support eventually, you'll just have to live without mods for awhile if you go through Stadia. Since Stellaris is already supported on Linux it shouldn't be too very difficult to port. However, I'm speaking from a lack of any technical knowledge about games. I could be very very wrong.

I want to play Cities: Skylines on Google Stadia.

It has very low latency because they use mind-blowing "negative latency" with AI that predicts what a user will click next.
They also have many Point Of Presence and high speed dedicated network.
