I buy almost every tech gadget related to gaming. I didn’t buy Stadia. The reasons are pretty much as below, in order. 1. Google is not a reliable vendor.

I buy almost every tech gadget related to gaming. I didn’t buy Stadia. The reasons are pretty much as below, in order. 1. Google is not a reliable vendor. Anything they launch is highly likely to be cancelled and you are left holding the bag. 2. Game streaming is fundamentally inferior to local play, and the structure of the Stadia market didn’t account for this. 3. XBox Game Pass exists, which is superior to Stadia in every way, and comes from a reliable vendor. I’m more surprised that anyone bought Stadia than I am that it got canceled.
