Hi @SoulKiller you actually don't need to purchase anything to start playing games on Stadia. You can either do the 1 month Pro trial, or claim one of the free to play games like Destiny 2 or Super Bomberman Online R to sign up to the Stadia platform. 

After that, you can purchase any game that you'd like to play like you usually do with other game store.

And yes, you're right, you will be streaming the game via internet without any console. You can either play through Chrome browser on your computer, mobile phone, or on TV using a Chromecast Ultra. You will need to use the Stadia controller if you want to play on TV. Otherwise you can use mouse and keyboard on computer, and supported controllers for computer and mobile devices.

Stadia Pro is basically the premium subscription, which allow you to claim a few selected games every month, and a few other features that's not available in the base version. For more info about Stadia Pro membership, you can check out the following article

Hope that helps and feel free to comment back if you have more questions!
