Integration of Steam/GoG/Epic library

Is it planned that Stadia Pro users (I am not a Stadia Pro user yet) can integrate their libraries from

  • Steam
  • Gog.com
  • uPlay
  • Epic

So that al games that I already boutght on one of these platforms can also be played at Stadia (maybe for free, maybe for a small "transfer" fee).

@OLLI_S  no word on that yet, you can try GeForce now as it supports, steam and epic at least idk about gog BUT understand this, not every game in your said platform (steam as an example) will work. 

A friend of mine told me about their experience with GeForce now, they have about 247+ games on steam and only 10 were "supported" and able to run everything else kept giving him an error message of "not supported yet, but we're adding new games etc" so you could try that (it's free with an hour limit of play time) for limited library integration. 

Also I was told about "shadow" but you have to pay for that. Essentially, that's what you're looking for though. With shadow, you just pay for a "cloud" PC but you are able to use steam (fully) as well as other platforms. As in, whatever u have bought, will run. Again I don't know much about it, aside from you have to pay to use it. I don't think it's like GeForce now or Stadia (to the sense that you have to "buy" supported games for said platform or already own SOME in GeForce now's case) I believe it's more so literally just a virtual/cloud PC. So you don't buy anything aside from your subscription to use the shadow service. Other than that you're just paying for the service and whatever you own (via steam as an example) you can play freely. 

Again idk much about it, but I'd say look into "shadow" because that's seems more of what you're looking for atm.

@Sho I know GeForce Experience but it has some dis-advantages:

  1. You need to install a client software
  2. The login into Steam / Epic / uPlay is very uncomfortable (I have random generated passwords with at least 20 characters and in the virtualized Steam client I can not paste the password, so I have to type it)
  3. Not running on phones, TVs, tablets etc

So I am very interested in Stadia.

@Mad_Dog_Bravo I am sure that you will get many new players when you support the other gaming clients.

@OLLI_S this is why I mentioned shadow streaming services. You do still have to download, and install things but for the sake of "full" steam integration as well as other services. 

So it may still not be what you are looking for. Just saying, it's worth checking out. As for Stadia as I have said before, I don't believe they ever mentioned anything like this (ever) but anything is possible and that's why competition is "somewhat" important as it may push services to do different things etc. 

To my knowledge though, Stadia has never mentioned anything about steam ever being brought to Stadia, as well as the other services. That's not to say the games wonts be there. Example ubi games, you can still link to you ubi club account, as for the ubi launcher, that's obv not in Stadia (yet and unknown if it will ever be) so you may see games from said services but idk about the actual services (steam, gog, epic, ubi etc.).

They don't need players as much as they need customers.

Most people don't pay when playing free to play games and that's why you see most of them shut down after a couple years. No one was paying Capcom or Activision Blizzard to play their games on GeForce Now and that's why they removed them.

@OLLI_S : There has been no indication that this is a feature that is planned, so I would say that for the foreseeable future that there is no intention to integrate with Steam/GoG/Epic.  But of course that might change in future, but there have been no announcements.

UPlay is something different, and there have been announcements from Ubisoft that this will be made available in 2020.

Kudos appreciated if deserved.
