IMO the biggest mistake they made was going with Linux instead of Windows. They were aiming to be Netflix for gaming but while Netflix could add any title to it's service as soon as they got the rights for it, developers need to port their games to Linux(& Vulkan) to run on Stadia. This is not an easy feat. For Destiny 2 Google had to depute a couple of its developers to work out of Bungie's office for over 6 months.
