you could have said the same thing about the google office suite. just run the existing windows programs. doing it in linux lets google go vertical. they can own and manipulate the entire stack. and not pay for windows licenses. now the games are the hurdle. get a critical mass, and then the studios would build for Stadia as a prime target.

Google's office suite is a collection of tools made by Google which run in the browser. It doesn't need to run any third party software which wasn't designed as a plugin. Stadia on the other hand needs to run third party software which wasn't originally built to run on it

  i agree. but if Stadia had enough market penetration the game studios would target it instead of windows.

    It's like a chicken and egg problem. Stadia isn't getting many users cause it doesn't have many games and studios aren't porting games cause of too few users
