Google Is Expected To Reveal Game Streaming Service At GDC In March (extremetech.com)
Google has sent out invites to this year's Game Developers Conference (GDC) press event, where the company is expected to unveil a new game streaming product. ExtremeTech reports: There have been rumors about a Google game stream product or service for several years. Initially, leaks pointed to a hardware platform called Yeti that would stream games to a connected display. In late 2018, Google rolled out a game streaming test called Project Stream. To publicize the demo, it worked with Ubisoft to give everyone free access to the new Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Google wrapped up Project Stream in early 2019, offering players a free copy of Assassin's Creed Odyssey as thanks. Of course, you'd need a real gaming PC to run that version.
Google's GDC event will take place on March 19th at 10 AM Pacific. All we know for sure is that Google is there to talk about a gaming project. It just seems extremely likely that it will be a new phase for Project Stream. It might remain browser-only, but Google does have a giant network of TV's out there with Chromecast streaming dongles plugged in. If it could leverage those to stream games, it could instantly have as many eyeballs as Sony or Microsoft.

Lol nerds
Probably true. They knock the block of their already puny stubs and did it to the USA's men to hide here. Nothing else fits for that tiny nub jews have.
Hehehehehehe and that's why they need GOLD! "want some candy little girl?"
OMG! Their talmud say that is ok to do. Not like a 3 yr. old can be a consenting adult. Sick pigs! Probably explains missing kids.
To bad google fiber is going no where as this needs good cap free Internet to work.
Yebhamoth 11b: "Sexual intercourse with a little girl is permitted if she is three years of age."
See subject: I'm so sick & tired of /. BULLIES. You shitweasels have nothing better to do than HARASS, STALK & IMPERSONATE little ol' me. I've done absolutely NOTHING wrong & just try to make everyone's lives better w/ my work that stops ads & malware. I KNOW gweihir's the one IMPERSONATING me.
* As soon as I post, I'm CENSORED to -1 w/ ABUSED downmodpoints by bullies like ZIP, who even admits to this. I caught c6gunner mocking then IMPERSONATING me when he forgot to log out. Zontar mailed me a postcard w/ THREATS on it, then LIES & STALKS me. All because you JEALOUS JOWIE "ne'er-do-wells" KNOW I'm World-Class & you're shit. It's why you hide behind FAKE names & UNIDENTIFIABLE ANONYMOUS.
I caught viperidaenz & webmistressrachel IMPERSONATING me too. The OLD HAG is JUDEN TRASH and knows nothing about computers so she LIES about me instead. This is one sick in the head IDLE HANDS ARE THE DEVIL'S WORKSHOP bitch, no questions asked. Now I know gweihir's impersonating me too. You weezils wish you were me & that's why you IMPERSONATE & ATTACK me.
I'm even improving my already GREAT PHYSIQUE & SUPERIOR INTELLECT while you weezils sit around all day on /. STALKING & HARASSING your BETTERS. I repeatedly dust the no-mind bullshit blatherings you BULLIES post to attack me. Like always I WIN & YOU LOSE.

P.S.=> This BULLYING of me is SO UNFAIR & I've done nothing to deserve it from you people. I'm tired of CASTING PEARLS before SWINE with my work that you CAN'T do better than. GROW UP... apk
I really can't see this taking off at all. The gaming industry will probably shill for Google on this by giving them the device for free. Gaming has become incredibly tribal and stubborn and I can't see many people moving from PC, Xbox or Playstation to this Google device.
It's here! APK Hosts File Engine 1.0++ 64-bit for MacOS h t t p : / / a p k . i t - m a t e . c o . u k / A P K H o s t s F i l e E n g i n e F o r M a c O S . z i p
Yields more security/speed/reliability/anonymity vs. any 1 solution (99% of threats use hostnames vs. IP address most firewalls use) more efficiently/FASTER + NATIVELY 4 less!
Vs. "Bolt on 'MoAr' illogic-logic" slowing you hosts speed u up 2 ways: Adblocks + Hardcode fav. sites u spend most time @ vs. competition loaded w/ security bugs (DNS/AntiVir) + overheads slowing u (messagepass 'souled-out' to advertisers easily detected & blocked addons + firewall filtering drivers) & their complexity leads to exploitation!
* ONLY 1 of its kind in GUI 4 MacOS!
(Better vs. Windows model in speed/efficiency)
APK
P.S.=> Protects against ALL known & unknown vulnerabilities. Now supports port filters in hosts. My work is world-class & China copied it because they can't do better. I am God's gift to Slashdot... apk
JEWgle wants to stick their puny twig of fiber into little kids! From Jews' talmud Yebhamoth 11b: "Sexual intercourse with a little girl is permitted if she is three years of age."
"Hella cool" like Joogle JEWS RAPING LITTLE GIRLS talmud says Yebhamoth 11b: "Sexual intercourse with a little girl is permitted if she is three years of age."
Pack it up and go home, everybody else. Google is here to dominate yet another market.

This will be like Google trying to outdo facebook, only worse and dumber. Also, doesn't google own youtube? And didn't youtube try to do this exact thing, and fail miserably?
Let's hope that this new service comes with micro-transactions and in-game purchases, because that's what people really want- more ways to drain your wallet.
Just cruising through this digital world at 33 1/3 rpm...
I predict their game streaming service will be full of ads.
How many years will Google operate this streaming service before they abandon it and shut it down? People who might be foolish to try developing a fanbase on it want to know.
The comment above was posted by a PR flack paid by Google. It's intended to associate, falsely, anti-Google sentiment with anti-semitism.
Everyone knows that's not true. People hate Google because Google is now openly evil.
Promoting wasteful use of energy with giveaways, and pretending to care about our planet.
Whats so special about a 'new' game streaming service run by woke megacorp A vs the 'old' game streaming service run by woke megacorp B? Saying in your opinion there are only two genders gets you permanently banned in 3.4 seconds instead of 3.7 seconds?
... more undermining of software ownership and the right to own the things we are paying for.
Google is now officially the new Microsoft, copying and launching features years after they became popular, and buying their way into popular markets where they normally would have no reason to exist.
not much difference between Steam and Stream.
On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.
Five minutes ago, I saw a fairly insightful post on this article. Logged in to reply.
But now I cannot find that thread anymore, even with browsing at -1 and tolerating the ACs being displayed.
Does some idiot at Slashdot randomly delete posts?? The one I cannot see anymore was not remotely censorship-worthy. Let alone that Slashdot used to be THE place where you could post anything and not have it deleted. That freedom of speech was a major reason for me to join the discussions here. Not anymore it seems.
C - the footgun of programming languages
And who owns the *in-game* ads displayed in most freemium titles ?
I actually doubt that Google will ever charge users of their streaming service directly.
They'll probably considered simply as their latest ploy to bring even more advertiment expos^H sorry... huh... "free games"... to even more gamers/eyeballs.
They'll probably recoup any cost running their service :
- by the ad money that they already make on the games that they make more accessible this way.
- by selling any information they can gather (who is streaming how much of what) to the most offering party.
Basically: see Chromium as another "free" product that serves the exact same purpose/is financed the exact same way.

Alternate Article Title: Google Is Expected To Cancel Game Streaming Service Within A Year
Everyone knows it IS true asshole jew. Everyone also knows JEWgle is run by JEWS whose beliefs from their talmud say it's ok to rape 3 yr. old little girls you sick pigs. Specifically also non-jew/goyim cattle little girls also. Fuck off you lying stinking fucking JEW.
Google runs the program 2.5 years, then cancels it abruptly leaving dev's holding $1200 development tablets.
