With our ongoing coverage of Google’s console The Stadia, here is the latest update from today’s Stadia Stream; Also, with e3 coming soon we’ll probably hear more about the Stadia.

Not following the Netflix Model:

As much as fans will be disappointed with this decision, Google has decided not to follow Netflix’s model and will follow up with a subscription-based service and of course, the games will be for sale individually; the base price for Stadia will be around $10. And they introduced a Founders Edition Bundle, which is priced for $130, and for the Founders Bundle you get what is listed below:

• Three months of Stadia Pro
• A Buddy Pass that allows you to give a friend three months of Stadia Pro
• The exclusive Night Blue Stadia Controller
• A Stadia Controller Power adapter
• A Google Chromecast Ultra
• A Google Chromecast Ultra Power adapter with an Ethernet port
• Founder’s Stadia Name
• Founder’s Badge
• Destiny 2 with the Shadowkeep Expansion, Three Buddy Passes.
