I'm a Stadia found, GFN subscriber, Shadow subscriber. The grass is always greener on these communities. GFN is a mess. Sometimes it's great, other times not so much. Right now on the GFN reddit people are really annoyed because all of Activision's games just got pulled from the service. You can't play Rockstar games like RDR2 on there. There are other developers who also don't allow their games on GFN. Some games run great on GFN. But like I can play Metro Exodus on GFN at 1080P with RTX, or I can play on Stadia at 4K. Kind of personal preference, really.  The Division 2, on GFN, I can't even activate DX12 and the game won't run on higher than Medium settings. Again, hit or miss. We'll see how it runs on Stadia next month, I guess.  For me (and this is going to vary from person to person depending on their ISP and other factors), GFN tends to be a blurry mess during prime time (tho if I use it during the day it works great). I feel like GFN launched when it did because Nvidia wanted to pull in some revenue while Stadia is still a small player in this space. Small in terms of subscribers and library, I mean. Obviously Google isn't small.  Stadia doesn't have a huge library of games right now, but it just WORKS. GFN, you never know what is going to happen when you sit down to play.

I have my code, but not my founder's edition, so I've been playing through a Chrome browser. I've only played Destiny 2. So far; Cons: The graphics are not as good as playing locally. It's like the settings are turned down. Pros: Otherwise everything has been great. It is really fast to get into the game, load times are better than they are for me playing locally (though I don't have a SSD on my PC), lag is (to me) imperceptible, frame rate is solid. One of the things I wasn't expecting to like so much is how QUIET my PC is while running a Stadia game. For local games, my cooling fans kick on and of course that doesn't happen on Stadia. My biggest problem now is it is so tempting to just fire up Stadia for a quick Destiny 2 break. I don't have to shut down other programs I'm running to devote CPU to the game. I just open a browser tab and start playing.   For reference I'm in NC, USA, on Spectrum internet, 200/20 mbps and I've been playing with a wired Ethernet connection. Also for reference, I'm not an eSports Professional. I play games to have fun so I'm maybe not as demanding as some folks who take games a lot more seriously than I do.
Yeah that has been my experience as well. Destiny 2 runs really well for me in terms of no lag and framerate, but the graphics are just not where I expected 10.7 teraflops to give me.
