I feel sorry for anyone who has brought into Stadia in any way, shape or form. This is soon to be headed to the dustbin of history and a prominent display in killedbygoogle.com. Many people predicted such things the moment it was announced - such is Google's terrible reputation - that they simple cannot be trusted to launch a new product and commit to it for years. I decided that I'd give ANY new Google project a minimum of 2-3 years (up to 5) before investing. If it shuts down in that time nothing has been lost. I do look forward to the rage when it just ups and dies and you're left with nothing, while I still have my ISOs and other media that cannot be taken by anyone, ever. What a farce.

Why? Stadia let me play games with friends I wouldn't have been able to otherwise on my 7 year old macbook air. Not everyone has a gaming pc and gaming consoles. I played Destiny (which is free) for a few months to try out the service, and it works fine for me. The community is easily way better than any other platform's community. It's a lot of casual/older players who just want to play a bit, not hardcore gamers who stream and watch streams. So. much. less. toxicity. It's wonderful. For the games I bought - I expect Stadia to shut down at some point. I never really replay games once I've beaten them, so I don't care if they end up disappearing from the library at some point. I've easily gotten my money's worth. Stadia definitely isn't for everyone, but I'm very glad it existed.
