Oh, sorry... Forgot to mention my gaming PC is an old 2010 laptop. Upgrading not possible

Believe me, I'd love to but a new pc. But unfortunately, being married with kids and bills and student loans isn't helping my cause. Putting down $800 for a decent PC instantly isn't as easy to swallow as opposed to $10 bucks here and there with parsec and paperspace... Or better yet, free with Google Stadia.

My ping to my new York cloud gaming rig ranges from low 30s to high 30s (I'm in Florida). And yet I do not notice any perceivable latency. Google has servers all over the place, much closer to me. So I highly doubt a ping of 2000.

Google Stadia will launch it's "base" subscription next year... It's completely free. Allows you to stream at 1080p at 60fps, which is far better than my PC can handle, and at a better price than upgrading.

Is Arenanet ever planning on bringing GW2 to Google Stadia? I've been playing GW2 since the open beta, and my old PC is really showing it's age. I've switched to cloud gaming for over a year and so far it's been suprisingly good (parsec + paperspace). Married with kids now... Buying brand new gaming PC is just not feasible. However, since Google Stadia's reveal, I've been hearing/reading quite a lot of positive feedback. Was hoping to see Arenanet or GW2 in the game announcement. Even though I'm "content" with parsec+paperspace, I know Stadia will have a better experience. Plus I'm pretty neck deep in the Google eco system, with good internet too. For example... Takes 4 minutes to boot old PC up (yes, four mins), and another 2 mins to start up parsec and paperspace. Stadia on my Chromebook/Chromebox/Android TV/Android phone will start up in a few seconds. Wondering if anyone here knows of any plans? Thanks!
