Stadia owner here, the entire concept of a streaming game system where you still have to buy the games is just weird. I used it for a couple weeks and went back to my Xbox. To succeed, it really needed to be just a gamepass-esq model. The thing I found really impressive is that the latency felt better over the actual internet than streaming my Xbox from another room. It's also super impressive that the headphone jack in the controller's audio seemed perfectly in sync with the video from the Chromecast despite the controller operating over Wifi. The video and audio streams are presumably completely separate, originating from Google servers.
