The number of games on Stadia's roadmap gives evidence that Google is intended to run the service for a long period of time. "We are looking many years out into the future. Gaming is one of the biggest businesses at Google, which is why you see us investing so much time and energy to support all these hundreds of <keyword id="6357020" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="developers">developers</keyword> building all these games. We have a very exciting year ahead of us. And, in fact, we have very exciting many years ahead of us," Buser was quoted as saying. Having 400 games from so many different developers on the Stadia roadmap shows both how much Google is pushing the platform. The company has made some big hires as part of its first-party development efforts, including ex-Ubisoft and EA producer Jade Raymond and ex-Sony Santa Monica studio head Shannon Studstill. Meanwhile, Google announced that its cloud gaming service will come to iPhones and iPads in the near future through an upcoming web app. Google said it has been building a progressive web app version of Stadia that will run in the mobile version of Apple's Safari browser, similar to how Microsoft intends to deliver its competing xCloud service on iOS sometime next year.

Google announces 400 new games for its Stadia Cloud game streaming service

But for three years, he's had to keep Google's ambitious, new gaming service a secret - even from his family.That all changed on Tuesday when Google announced Stadia on stage at the Gamers Development Conference (GDC). "One of the most amazing parts of [the Stadia announcement] for me personally has been to be able to go home and tell my 14-year-old daughter and my wife what I do all day," Buser told Business Insider in a recent interview. The slick-haired Biz Dev Director for Stadia is no newcomer to the gaming industry. Out of college, Buser was a mobile games developer himself for Motorola, and most recently, he spent almost eight years working for Sony's PlayStation. Notably, before joining Google, Buser spent nearly two years leading business initiatives for PlayStation Now - Sony's "Netflix-for-gaming" streaming product, which has <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/02/18/playstation-now-re-review/">drawn criticism</a> from the industry for its lackluster library of gaming titles and latency issues. Both game selection and performance are two concerns gamers have flagged before wholeheartedly throwing their support behind Google's new streaming services, and Buser knows the importance of getting both right from the start. "You have to be able to deliver great games, and you have to do it in a way that appropriately conveys the vision of the artist and the developer," he said. "So we have to nail both." <h2>Performance and premium games </h2>In terms of performance, which has been the number one question mark for gamers when it comes to streaming services, Buser is confident that Google has the horsepower to deliver a gaming experience over the internet that's on par with the traditional console. "Stadia is a platform that really brings together the best of Google, so we're standing on the shoulders of giants," he said. "Specifically, our infrastructure - Google has invested heavily in our infrastructure over the years and continues to do so. Being able to bring this incredibly massive network to run video games on it, is pretty incredible."<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/5c953613dc67671bae2c6378-2400/2019-03-21t015251z1lynxnpef2k04rrtroptp4alphabet-google-gaming.jpg" border="0" alt="Google vice president and general manager Phil Harrison speaks during a Google keynote address announcing a new video gaming streaming service named Stadia that attempts to capitalize on the company's cloud technology and global network of data centers, at the Gaming Developers Conference in San Francisco, California, U.S., March 19, 2019.

"When we say 'best of Google,' it always starts with our cloud and networking infrastructure," Pichai said. "Our custom server hardware and data centers can bring more computing power to more people on planet earth than anyone else." Even the <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jackbuser/">banner photo</a> on Buser's LinkedIn profile page - which one might expect to feature a scene or character from a favorite game - is a picture of inside a data center, featuring colorful wiring and racks and racks of servers. During beta testing in the fall, Stadia demonstrated it could pull off its ambitious goal: to allow users, even outside of major metropolitan areas, to stream high-fidelity, AAA games on any device using nothing more than a Chrome browser."People were saying [during testing], 'I can't believe it, I'm in a Starbucks on a three-year-old laptop and I'm playing Assassin's Creed, and it feels like I'm at home on my PC gaming rig,'" he said. "That's incredible." Business Insider's Matt Weinberger said while playing on Stadia for the first time, the graphics looked "very nice" but that "the little bit of input-lag" was hard not to notice.

It's really promising, but there's still too much we don't know.</a>When it comes to games, Ubisoft, the makers of Assasin's Creed Odyssey, partnered with Google for Project Stream. Yet, so far, the only official game title we know will be available for sure when Stadia launches sometime in 2019 is Bethesda Softworks's Doom Eternal. For the service to be a success, Buser knows that a robust offering of games from the industry's leading publishers will be needed. "We're not talking too much about content just yet," Buser said. "But games are in my blood and I cannot wait to talk to you about it." Buser did tell us that a big part of his work over the last few years has been flying around the world, meeting with game developers and pitching them to build on Stadia. On Tuesday, the team also announced an in-house development division know as Stadia Games and Entertainment, which will be led by former Ubisoft Director responsible for the creation of the Assassin's Creed franchise, Jade Raymond. "We will definitely be able to talk more in 2019," Buser said, regarding the team's in-house game development. "One thing I can say is that gamers should be quite impressed." <h2>How much will it cost? </h2>Another major question mark that remains for Stadia is price. Will users pay for each game? Will it be subscription based? The Stadia team, including Buser, have been tight-lipped when it comes to the business model. In our conversation, Buser did acknowledge the importance of an enticing financial model for publishers. "When you're building a game platform, you not only need to build a platform that has the proper technology to deliver the creative vision to the gamer, but you also need to create an ecosystem where publishers and developers can thrive from a business standpoint," Buser said. "We've worked hard with Stadia to create a platform that we think developers large and small can truly thrive." <div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/5c927d4269e11c6952749ddb-1045/stadia13.png" border="0" alt="Google Stadia" data-mce-source="Google Stadia" />Google Stadia</div></div></div>Buser also said that although the business model for Stadia has not been announced publicly, he has been sharing details with publishers to get them on board. "Some games can take years to make so in order to get a game developer to create for your platform you have to show them that it's going to be financially viable for them," he said. <h2>'A world that never turns off' </h2>One differentiator Google has stressed with Stadia is the openness of the experience - any user with an internet connection and a Chrome browser can play, whether that be from a phone, laptop, tablet, or TV. The team even showed off a feature that lets users join a game directly from YouTube "within 5 seconds" and says it envisions battle royale sessions to include thousands of players. Today, Fortnite - the gold standard for battle royal in the gaming industry - has a maximum of 100 players at any given time. Buser himself - who once worked on Sony's virtual world product, PlayStation Home - envisions the openness on Stadia extending even further. "I've always dreamed about this - the dream of a single world where everyone can play at the same time. Where you can have an extremely large number of people all together and all playing in a world that never turns off," Buser said, in part. "The ability to connect people all over the world to play together, that's what gets me up in the morning. The technology that Stadia is made of is the type of technology that we could start to realize those types of visions."<ul class="read-more-links"><li>Read more about Google's Stadia streaming game service:</li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/google-console-stadia-2019-3" data-read-more-link="" data-e2e-name="read-more-link">Google just unveiled Stadia, its ambitious attempt to upend the video-game industry and take on Xbox and PlayStation.

The game industry veteran Google hired to lead Stadia's business development talks pricing, performance, and the importance of gaming titles

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/5c928a88113a504e9b066a1f-2400/gettyimages-1136863155.jpg" border="0" alt="Sundar Pichai" data-mce-source="Getty" />GettyGoogle CEO Sundar Pichai</div></div></div><ul class="summary-list"><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/category/google">Google</a> wowed the world when it unveiled its new game streaming service, Stadia, on Tuesday, but it failed to address how the service will make money. </li><li>Despite the lack of information around a monetization approach, one thing analysts that we spoke to agree on is that an ads-based model will not be enough to sustain Google's ambitious gaming project. </li><li>Having to add an alternative revenue stream to ads may be difficult for Google, given its spotty track record with 'for-pay' services, but if successful, it could have massive ramifications for the company. </li></ul><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/category/google">Google</a> wowed the world when it unveiled its new game streaming service, Stadia, on Tuesday. But it left one important question unanswered. How much will it cost to play? The answer is important not just for eager gamers, but for Google's business as well. Depending on how Google plays it, Stadia could take the internet giant's business model to an entirely new level that it's struggled to reach for years. Right now, the speculation is that Google's forthcoming game streaming service will make consumers pay to play. That would mark a big departure from the free, ad-supported business that Google has mastered over the years.Patrick Moorhead, Principle Analyst at Moor Insights and Strategy, said that a pure ads-model would be an ideal revenue stream for Stadia, given Google's spotty track record with subscription-based services, but that those chances are highly unlikely. "In a perfect world for Google, it would be an ad-based model as the company isn't that successful in 'for-pay' services," Moorhead said. But he thought it unlikely that Google's ad expertise could be parlayed successfully into the gaming world, at least not in the near term."The reality is that it would take decades to get the gameplay and content optimized for that model," Moorhead said.In an interview with Business Insider, Jack Buser, Stadia's head of business development, declined to provide any details about how the service would be offered to consumers. "We're not speaking yet about the business side of things," he said.<h2>Is it iTunes, or is it Apple Music?</h2>Google's silence on the matter has left investors, competitors, and other industry insiders wondering how the company will make money on such an ambitious and expensive venture.Google has built an $840 billion business empire on ads, while it has struggled to establish a winning subscription-based product. For instance, the company has tried launching a subscription competitor to Netflix and Amazon <keyword id="46801" type="COMPANY" weightage="60" keywordseo="prime">Prime</keyword> with YouTube Premium, but last November, it <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/youtube-premium-strategy-shift-2018-11">walked back much of those efforts</a>.<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/5c927d4269e11c6952749ddb-1045/stadia13.png" border="0" alt="Google Stadia" data-mce-source="Google Stadia" />Google Stadia</div></div></div>Some observers think ads are such a fundamental part of Google's DNA that the company lacks the commitment and mentality to create a successful for-pay consumer service. And if Google does opt to charge consumers directly to play games on Stadia, it will have to make some important decisions. "Is it iTunes, or is it Apple Music," wondered Michael Pachter, Managing Director at Wedbush Securities. An iTunes model means Google would head down the traditional route of having users buy each game individually, while an Apple Music approach would turn Stadia into a monthly subscription service.Read more: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/the-real-reason-google-gaming-service-called-stadia-2019-3">Google's weird name and logo for its new gaming service is part of a clever disappearing act</a>The difference between subscription and pay-per-play could prove consequential. Google envisions Stadia as proving a platform that any user with an internet connection and Chrome browser can hop into and start playing a game within seconds. For that reason, some think a "pay-per-download" model could create too much friction, preventing the kind of gameplay and experimentation Google wants.<h2>Follow the Fortnite</h2>Google also needs to worry about competition. Microsoft has announced it's working on a game streaming service dubbed Project Xcloud, which <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/03/20/leaked-memo-promises-major-xbox-streaming-news-at-e3/">could go live</a> this year.Some Wall Street analysts, like Wedbush's Dan Ives, think Stadia will ultimately need to adopt a hybrid model that combines Google's ad expertise with a subscription model. "[Google has] a clear advantage on the ad front versus the likes of [Microsoft] which do not have that in their repertoire if they go down that path as well," Ives said. "[But] we believe a blended monetization strategy around steaming and ads [will be the business model]." <div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/5c927cccf73f5c4487570bb3-1200/stadia8.png" border="0" alt="Video gamers streaming" data-mce-source="Google Stadia" />Google Stadia</div></div></div>Ads in games are a $3 billion market today, according to Eric Haggstrom, a forecasting analyst at eMarketer. But most of that revenue is in-game ads for mobile games, which are generally a less refined experience than the high-end games Stadia plans to offer. Still, Haggstrom thinks having ad space within Stadia games could be a compelling offer for game publishers. "If you're a new battle royal game that just came out and you want to get people playing your game, ultimately the best place to advertise would be within other games that are similar," Haggstrom said. Haggstrom thinks the Google service is likely to adopt a similar approach to the mega-popular Fortnite, which doesn't charge players to download its game, but instead allows for in-game purchases of "skins" and other cosmetic items. This type of in-game purchase model could make sense, he believes, given Stadia has been touting an open platform with very few barriers to entry. <h2> Not everyone's in the dark</h2>For one important group however, Google is being a bit more forthcoming. Google's Buser said he's already been sharing Stadia's revenue model with game developers to help get them on board. "Some games can take years to make so in order to get a game developer to create for your platform you have to show them that it's going to be financially viable for them," Buser said. Given what's a stake, Google can't afford to lose game developers.If Buser and the Stadia team finally find a way to create a meaningful business outside of advertisements for Google, the ramifications for how that model could be applied elsewhere across the tech giant's properties could be massive.Get the latest Google stock price<a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/stock/GOOG-Quote"> here.</a> <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/pi-day-math-important-eugenia-cheng-2017-3">A mathematician gave us the easiest explanation of pi and why it's so important</a></h3> <div> <iframe class="bijwplayerclass" data-player="jwplayer" src="https://content.jwplatform.com/players/MVnsRCPo-CEZHWCBG.html" width="100%" height="100%" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" style="margin:0px;" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><script>function receiveMessage(event){ console.log(event.data.fullscreen); Android.fullscreen(event.data.fullscreen); }window.addEventListener("message", receiveMessage, false);</script> </div> </div>
