Sorry for the ambiguity, I only meant that you manage installing games (and sometimes even drivers) yourself, as opposed to having a fully managed service where everything "just works" like Stadia.

The hardware is abstracted away like in any cloud service, so you don't need to concern yourself with upgrading it or fixing it.
