I know it was gutted at launch but I decided to try it anyways with open eyes since there was a 2-month free trial with some free games. I have fiber at home so latency and bandwidth is not at all an issue - on Chrome on Windows laptop the gaming experience was flawless and technically very impressive. The value proposition of the service is in fact excellent for me. I game only sporadically, so investing in a highend gaming PC makes no sense - the hardware outdates too fast, and I anyway prefer to run Linux on my PC. I bought a PS4 but I prefer to play FPS games on a keyboard and mouse, and frankly most times I actually want to play the PS4 after months offline, I need to start with ~30 min worth of system updates before any game is even allowed to start (thanks DRM..) With Stadia I pay one time fee for each game I want to play. Google offers for that fixed price always the latest, highest-end hardware and OS to play on. Contrast this to having to keep updating my PC hardware and maintaining a Windows installation just for gaming. If only it was working on Linux as well as Windows I would have certainly continued using it.
