Really unfortunate, and I think Google is making a long term mistake here.
Stadia worked extremely well for me and some friends who all basically didn't want to invest in a gaming tower.
I had a theory though, that if you were a serious gamer, you probably stream or do a bunch of other things on your computer. As the serious gamer would need a reasonable GPU either way to accomplish this, the benefits of Stadia didn't make sense for them. Google should have implemented the missing pieces as part of the stadia experience, thus only requiring a laptop to be a mildly successful streamer.
In my head they should have worked on something that could stream directly to youtube gaming, and they should have paid $$$$ to get some streamers to use Stadia exclusively for their streams.

- avereveard 4y agobut that's the crux of the issue streaming is much more than delivering video it's about engaging with the audience and you need the second streaming mode for that, at which poit you already have a beefy enough computer to play
