Platform politics is not business. Business can work without it, as I explained above.
And yes, I find platform politics to be disgusting and anti-user in essence. Stadia isn't huge as desktop Linux, not even close yet. And potential is all abstract. Linux has also a lot of potential, if these would release games for it. They don't care.
It's not about potential or size of the market, it's about being paid extra incentives by the platform owner. I.e. dirty platform politics.

Is Ford anti-user because I can't snap in Toyota parts? > Stadia isn't huge as desktop Linux, not even close yet The potential market size for Stadia is exponentially larger than Linux desktop, and is a safer risk for game developers and publishers to get behind than Linux desktop. > It's not about potential or size of the market Of course it is. What else is it about? Google is willing to make the investment to make Stadia successful, to create a thriving customer base which in turn needs content. That's good business. No one is willing to do that for Linux desktop.
