#google Stadia should have stayed in beta

I have been playing a lot of Stadia lately — not because I think Google’s game streaming service is amazing, but because, in order to get anything out of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey (about which I have many thoughts), you have to play a lot. It’s a long game.
I have put in enough hours in enough conditions to say that this is a beta product, and Google should have labeled it as such and launched it differently. Because even in the best conditions, this ain’t the best. I have what I think is probably the most ideal connection imaginable: Google Fiber (technically Webpass) in Oakland, 500 up and down with very low latency, and I still get weird internet lag jitters sometimes. Woof.
Woof, but also, shrug? I find that, by and large, it works…
