Because buying a rig costing the equivalent of a used car is not a price all of us are willing to pay in order to enjoy BG3 ? Why the hate, i get it, PC rules, can have mods, etc etc. but why shit on a service that lets people without fancy rig or console play games too ? No one's forcing you to use it right ? Keep in mind, when steam launched I declared it the end of gaming's glory days (more proprietary bs, more game as service, less consumer control, no physical copy - think: 'WhAt iF sTeAm FaIls, WhEre WilL yOuR 'diGiTaL EdiTiOn Be ThEn' ? ), so the irony is def. not lost on me now that I came back to gaming trough stadia
I have nothing against the concept and definitely nothing again you specifically. The service just don't seem to do very well, as there seem to be a relatively small pool of gamers for whom their serivce would provide value. It's pricey subscription and on top of that you need to buy full price games, to which you might not have access to anymore, if Google decides to shut the service down. I think you are also greatly overexadurating how much money one needs to spend on a PC. Though both car and PC parts prices have been skyrocketing, so my estimated might be out of date.
Don't take stabs at Stadia personally, I don't mean to look down at anyone for whom Stadia offers a valuable service - I just genuinely hope that you will be able to access your copy of BG3 for years to come.
10$ (FOR NOW...) a month cheap?
If you compare it with buying a system (console or PC in case of BG3) it is cheaper option. I would still prefer to buy a console - the investment should make a return withint the lifespan of the device, but I can see how it can be appealing to someone, who would just want to play BG3 specifically.
