    It would’ve been fine… If Google had stuck to it and marketed it, it would’ve worked out. I’m convinced interest rate hikes are what actually killed Stadia.

    Also it wasn’t even Netflix like… You’re right about one thing though, part of the reason stadia didn’t do well is 90% of gamers think it was some laggy Netflix for games thing.

      I say that as someone who has a Stadia controller. I completed one story playthrough of Cyberpunk 2077 and I only had two or three times where I had to reset because of a bug. And I agree. It wasn’t marketed well at all and on paper it should have worked. Monthly subscription and try out the latest games even if you don’t have the PC specs or latest console to run it. Or you can out right purchase a game and it’s tied to your Google/Stadia account.
