google just has the worst track record of supporting stuff they introduce.

probably still full of shovelware. but shovelware that works with mouse and keyboard.

DOA. Of course, like all Google services, this only exists to get some fresh new analytic data and will be closed dovn .04 femtoseconds after they reach the point of diminishing returns.

As if all the people on mobile games complaining about emulator users wasn’t enough, now they’ll complain about m&kb users too. It’d be a lot easier for them if they’d just admit there was a skill gap.

This is just going to make things worse for the five seconds that it exists.

Is this to make all the games available on Google Play also playable on PC? What is even the point?

we… we have Steam, Google. you are attempting to compete with Steam with mobile games.

it’s like trying to enter a go-kart into a Nascar race and asking who wants to sponsor…

Google has a small advantage in that they can be cross platform with chromeos and Android. I could see them carving out a small niche among very casual gamers there if it weren’t for the fact no one trusts their products to stick around.

Different audience

It’s more competing with Windows Store

Hey Google. Remember Stadia? That platform that allowed us to play big games on potatoes using a browser? And now are you offering us to play mobile games outside a mobile? Well, I have two words for you: FUCK YOU!!!
