The Stadia model was dead on arrival exactly because you were expected to pay full price to "buy" games that you would never actually own. With Google's reputation of killing products, and the hubris of thinking they could just waltz into the gaming space and be competitive within a year, it's no wonder that no one took them seriously and the product never took off. Other streaming services like GeForce Now (sp?) let you install games you already own on Steam and play them on a cloud computer, which is a much more attractive model I think.
