		bsurmanski on June 6, 2019 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Google Stadia requires $130 upfront, $10 per month... This headline is misleading. The $130 is for the "Founders Edition", which is an early access with additional hardware (controller + 4k chromecast). The $10 a month is for 4k access (instead of the default 1080p) and free games (ala Xbox live gold). You may use an existing controller (or keyboard/mouse) connected to a PC if you want. Without the subscription, games access is by-purchase (like steam).

Without the $10 subscription you have to buy each game and it runs on 1080p?

I think that's the implication.

Earlier they had demos of YouTube integration, so i imagine they would have demo's or some way to play before buying (?)
