I got a free trial from YouTube.  Stadia seems tp have very sad content.  I'm not sure what I can do with it.

You have more than 50 of Stadia Pro, you have like 150 trial versions to see what you like and then you can buy what interests you. So try, enjoy and you don't need to invest money in it if you don't want to, which by the way, unlike other platforms you can buy games and you don't need to pay any fee to play.

If you like XCom you can buy Phoenyx Point on sale or play PUBG for free also playing with people from consoles.

The point is that you save yourself from buying expensive PC graphics hardware or having to pay subscriptions to play consoles online (in addition to their hardware). Then it depends on your taste, but you can combine it with other platforms.

@Addeladle So just want to clear a misconception from a lot of people, when you're subscribed to Pro, it doesn't mean you get access to all the games available in Stadia. There are curated games that are available to Pro members every month, and once you claim them, you can play them as long as you're subscribed to Pro. Rather than Netflix, think about the free games offered by PS Plus or Xbox Live subscription. The difference is most games are offered longer more than a month.

Other than that, you don't need to subscribe to Pro if you just want to purchase individual game, similar to if you're purchasing games from Steam for example. The best part is rather than waiting for the game to finish installing before start playing, you can start playing right away. Just click the button. No need to worry about whether your computer is good enough to play the game, or worry about hardware space. You can also play on your PC, mobile device, or TV, and switch between each other easily.

I do have to agree that the game selection could be improved, so if there's no games that you want to play at the moment, then it's fair to not wanting to use it. The team keep adding games throughout the year, so it's definitely worth to check from time to time if a game you want to play is added to Stadia.

I'm also going to leave this FAQ link that's available from the Stadia help page. Hopefully it will be able to answer questions that I haven't covered above:
