Stadia failure is due to them using Linux. Having to get people to spend time and money to port games. If they used windows, they would have thousands of games. The tech is really good, but they were hampered by the library and "bribing" studios to port.

They should have partnered with steam so you could import games from steam to play on stadia. They also needed to have a game studio designing games that actually took advantage of what stadia could potentially provide.
