The simple answer is that you don't need the full bitrate video to have a decent experience. I use Nvidia gamestream locally at 30 to 50 Mbps and it's basically indistinguishable from the real thing. For most people, it doesn't matter if they can't tell the difference.

Im sure you or I can tell a huge difference between 240hz and 60hz. How can other people not notice? Or 10-bit or higher color? Maybe people don’t yet know what they are missing, but when they do, Stadia won’t be competitive.

They notice with their wallets. A battlestation capable of 10-bit color, 240Hz, at 4K, for a single graphics generation, costs more than a monthly subscription service.

Do you need 240hz for a story-driven game? Will Final Fantasy 15 be better if it's that smooth?
