When it comes to gaming, no other company has dropped the ball like Google.

Chrome OS is basically Linux. They could have invested in Proton and therefore given Chromebook users access to a vast library of PC games that way.

Instead, they tell Chromebook users to stream games—even though they already shut down Stadia.

Without Proton support, it’s a bad idea to buy a so-called “gaming” Chromebook.

@atomicpoet is there any high-end Chromebook?

I thought their strategy is to lore more user into handing over their own data to Google using cheap price -- and personal preference digest into more ad revenue.

@felix Believe it or not, Google is actually advertising “high-end” gaming Chromebooks.

I put “high-end” in quotes because they’re terrible at gaming.

@atomicpoet Google will never hold any ball but ads. You know what isn't a popular place to show ads? Inside high-end games. Google will only hold onto a technology insofar as it either serves ads or protects their ability to serve ads or removes a competitor's ability to serve ads.

@ocdtrekkie Explain how ads were supposed to work with Stadia.

@atomicpoet I never said they wouldn't pick up the ball. I said they wouldn't hold onto it. ;)

Sometimes I go back and watch the Stadia commercial for fun. Just imagine the drugs they were on greenlighting this. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=A6Wy_pWscsk

@ocdtrekkie Man, I can’t believe this commercial convinced me to subscribe to Stadia. I spent actual real money on that crap!
