Cities: Skylines Hits PRO and More Announced Titles - Stadiacast 151
We saw the surprise addition of Cities: Skylines into PRO this month, along with a number of game announcements including 6 titles from Outright games. We run down this news and more in episode 151!
As announced in this episode, Bill and I are placing Stadiacast on hiatus. It has been a pleasure doing these shows for the past 3 years. Thank you to everyone who has watched, listened, commented, and interacted with us while we talked about the cloud. We still have a lot of love for the platform and are excited about the future.
Be sure to stay subscribed to the podcast. We are hoping that things will pick up and exciting news will start to flow again. Until then we will continue to drop videos on news and releases that interest us, so be sure to subscribe to the NerdNest on Youtube!

Customer Reviews
Simply The Best
My jaw dropped when I saw this show had ANY 1-star reviews. Haters gonna hate. This is the best source for Stadia news and views, hands down. Love the podcast, love the YouTube channel. Bill and Lloyd are the epitome of professional broadcasters. They say it’s a hobby, but many pros could take notes on selecting content, presentation, and especially audio quality.
Good but biased
The hosts are well informed and likable. My only complaint is that they might excessively spin Stadia news in the best possible light. I generally appreciate the positivity, but sometimes they come off as apologists performing mental gymnastics to paint a rosy picture.
Bill’s Pontification-cast.
I really want to like this. Lloyd has all the perspective that a good podcaster should have - he plays a wide spectrum of games; he is a collector and a fan of multiple consoles. He puts in the time; he listens more and talks less - which means when he does speak it has weight and meaning. Bill on the other hand does the opposite. Facilitating is one thing. He talks like he has years of industry experience - yet doesn’t. Playing games 15 years ago does not an expert make. Just because one is a teacher doesn’t mean they should - especially on topics they don’t have the knowledge of. I’m having trouble putting my finger on what it is... there is a fine line between confidence and arrogance. It’s on display when Bill makes his comments towards Canada or other countries. If you listen for any length of time you get that he’s trying to be humorous. But when it’s said with the tone and attitude he chooses to maintain during the show - it falls flat and feels xenophobic. Very cringeworthy and certainly not the desired result. In a recent episode he referenced a Stadia announcement detailing expansion to other countries. His reaction was “This doesn’t matter to me at all...” The point he later tried to make was that although it didn’t impact him directly it might have been the biggest announcement they have made in recent months (or at least in this press release). Again - when you maintain a presence that is more ‘matter-of-fact’ ‘lecture-based confidence’ - the audience has no context for taking your words as tounge-in-cheek. Instead it just falls flat and plays borderline offensive.
Dial down the confidence level by 40, turn up the humility and self-effacement by 60 and good god let Lloyd speak more as he is the one that actually plays the games. I think then this could really be something. Good mics, great production - it’s refreshing to hear. Now let’s get two hosts that have the same passion for the content - then we’ve got a winner.
