Tequila Works CEO: Google Stadia Is Like Steam Early Days; Some Features Will Blow People's Minds

Tequila Works, the studio backside the acclaimed RiME adventure puzzle game, recently released a new game chosen GYLT. Y'all tin can't find it yet on PC or consoles, though, as the game launched every bit a Google Stadia exclusive.

Speaking with GamesIndustry during the Fun and Serious Game Festival, Tequila Works CEO Raul Rubio talked about the platform's troubled launch, suggesting it is a bit rough in the aforementioned way of Steam's early on days.

This is my personal opinion, but this is like the early days of Steam in a sense that this is when people were complaining that it took too long to download, then the download would stop and people were [complaining] the price was exactly the same equally a boxed game.

It's going to get amend. In fact, 1 day when nosotros look back, people will wonder why people were questioning streaming at all. I'chiliad not talking about Stadia specifically. I'g talking about streaming in general.

Rubio also teased that in that location are 'mindblowing' features on the way for Google Stadia that people don't know about yet.

My view is subjective of form, it cannot exist objective because I take been inside, and I know at that place are many features that are super cool that are non agile still. So let's take this chat in one year I estimate.

People are totally right to be wary. It'southward a new engineering science; historically streaming solutions didn't work. I think it'due south the time, in a sense, in that the applied science is there and the audition is in that location, and to be honest the content wars are here... Google Stadia has a lot of potential, it hasn't reached its full potential yet. I think that was never the thought with this small soft launch. I know that they are working to make information technology amend every day. I know it'southward going to get amend, because there are a few features that are going to blow people'due south minds.

That's certainly good news for those presently disheartened with the state of Google Stadia, and even more so for the others who've been enjoying the cloud streaming service since it launched in November 2022. We're checking out Google Stadia for ourselves right now - stay tuned for our review.
