Everyone has tried and failed to make game streaming work. It’s one of the holy grails of the industry. The concept essentially eliminates hardware restriction by letting games run remotely on powerful hardware.

Google has seen how its data center business folds in neatly with this concept and in a bold move Tuesday, March 19, at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, it announced Stadia, a new platform that lets players game virtually anywhere as long as there’s an internet connection. The idea is encapsulated in this scenario, mentioned by Google CEO Sundar Pichai. Players can watch a trailer for a game on YouTube and they can see a link. Clicking on the link will take them to that game in less than 5 seconds.
