Google stadia great tech that works better than I could have imagined, but the package Google are selling us is weak. The pro subscription needs to pivot to provide more value for money. At the moment, the subscription is a levy. Its not a service. It needs to pivot and offer substantially more - some suggestions? (a) pro subscription gives you the ability to download on PC (truly giving you all options to play the games you pay for in any circumstance (long-term goal, I admit)* (b) a better game library. Sign up today and get access to all pro games - not just the ones you previously "claimed" and that are available that given month. Start to build up a vault of games, Google! (c) tie-ins. Do what Amazon has done. You sign up to this, and you get that thrown in! Its a lot easier to swallow a pro membership, if it comes with, say, access to google music (and having google music integrated with Stadia too, akin to Spotify on PS4). You have the resources. As I said, Stadia works better than I could have imagined. I took my CCU and Controller with me when I visited family over Xmas, and it worked like a dream both on their TV and on my laptop. It truly is the future - but Google need to step up their game with what they offer under their "pro membership", especially when their rivals start to get serious about streaming. I should add that I also think Google knows what they are doing. If Google came in to the streaming scene, all guns blazing - making a pro membership a no-brainer, I suspect they would have concerns as to whether they can handle it at their end - the last thing they need is more bad press relating to the service.
