SAN FRANCISCO: A Google executive offered new details on Wednesday about the company's upcoming video game streaming service, telling Reuters that game makers may use competing cloud providers and must avoid some inappropriate content.

Hosting the data elsewhere, however, could lead to slower loading times or less crisp streaming quality, he said. The approach could limit Google's revenue from Stadia. It has declined to comment on the business model for the new service, but attracting new customers to Google's paid cloud computing program is one of Stadia's aims.If a game publisher was using Amazon for some tools,"the first thing I would do is introduce you to the Google Cloud team," Harrison said.

"We absolutely will not have A-O content," Harrison said, referring to the ESRB's moniker for the rare designation of a game as adult-only because of intense violence, pornography or real-money gambling.Asked about growing public concerns about game addiction, Harrison said Stadia would empower parents with controls on"what you play, when you play and who you play with."
