Digitec Podcast Episode 132: Google Stadia is dead, long live cloud gaming
Google Stadia has finished streaming. We look back on four turbulent years and which suppliers have a better chance of survival. We also talk in detail about "The Last of Us" series.
The hype was huge, but so was the scepticism. In the end, the critical voices about Google Stadia proved to be right. After four years, the game streaming service was cancelled. We explain how this came about and which competitors are doing it better.
After that, we discuss the first episode of the HBO adaptation of "The Last of Us". First up is the spoiler-free discussion. At the end of the podcast, we don't hold back for anyone who has already seen the episode.
We played two completely contrasting games. On the one hand, the cuddly "Lil Gator Game" and next to it the bloodthirsty "The Calisto Protocol".

Being the game and gadget geek that I am, working at digitec and Galaxus makes me feel like a kid in a candy shop – but it does take its toll on my wallet. I enjoy tinkering with my PC in Tim Taylor fashion and talking about games on my podcast http://www.onemorelevel.ch. To satisfy my need for speed, I get on my full suspension mountain bike and set out to find some nice trails. My thirst for culture is quenched by deep conversations over a couple of cold ones at the mostly frustrating games of FC Winterthur.
