If you mention offline web storage, that is exactly the same solution as Steam and others do. There is a big difference between downloading a game once vs every time. > There is no reason a platform like Stadia can't work in the future as these things get better. Before Steam there were many gaming online communities, all games were native and were marvels of technology for the time, etc. No community, limited features, spotty performance. > I mean, before Steam this was basically the state of gaming.

Once you got a good party going, you basically didn't want to stop, as just getting to that point took two freakin' hours. On the other hand, it took hours - often all night - to accomplish just about anything. Reaching out to others was expected, and many were glad to help you through those same challenges they too struggled with. Enemies would destroy you after level 10 or so, and quests were incredibly laconic and abstruse seemingly by design.Įverything about the game was difficult, dangerous, and mysterious. You see this trend in MMOs as well - towards convenience (and fun) at the expense of community.īack in the old days of EverQuest and Final Fantasy XI, it was almost impossible to do anything by yourself you HAD to find other people, and ideally a clan.
