ESO by its very nature requires an online connection, and a solid one at that, and that does away with most people’s main problem with Stadia. Here I am again, proselytising for Google’s streaming service, but before you get each and every one of your hackles up let’s have a good think about this one.
Elder Scrolls Online has been a major culprit for many years, but now, with its arrival on Stadia, that’s all just melted away for me. As titles become more extravagant, with expansive worlds and higher production values, game installs have become ever more bloated, threatening to squeeze out other, more restrained games from your daily life.
Along with a cool pint in a beer garden on a summer’s day, or plunging into an icy shower after a jaunt in a sauna, (remember any of those things?) there’s nothing quite as refreshing for gamers as being able to clear 100Gb from your hard drive with a clear conscience.
