Google today revealed just what kind of hat it intends to throw in the gaming ring — a cloud streaming service called Stadia. Most of the news was a lot of blue sky development jargon, but it did reveal one thing about Stadia that’ll probably do more to help gamers than any new controller or lack of latency: a dedicated walkthrough button.

Most of the reveal was focused on what Stadia could offer game developers — which is natural, as it took place at a game developer’s conference. Supposedly it’ll offer the ability to stream games from anything that runs a Chrome browser or ChromeOS, a heady promise if they can make it work. You can read more about it in my colleague Abhi Ghoshal’s article, but it’s not the platform as a whole that interests me.
