Thanks so much for the info. That's a huge bummer about not being able to play the same game simultaneously (excluding, I presume, when you're both using the same screen at the same time and thus using only one account for a multiplayer session). It's good to know, however, that even if I can't block the Store entirely to them, that I can at least prevent them from seeing things in the Store that are above their age range.  I knew that about seeing games available for play in the Home or Play tab, but not about games available for purchase in the Store.  I can put up with some wheedling for games they don't have if I can at least relax that the games they want are at their own age level and they're not going to see games in the Store that are rated too high.

Not the WHOLE point.  Other factors in its favor are drastically low cost of entry, no need to download and install the game or subsequent updates, available on a wide variety of hardware with no performance penalty*, unlimited storage space, no monthly fee necessary for online multiplayer, etc.  *Yes I KNOW you're complaining about performance; my point is that given the level of performance you're getting where you are and with your internet connection, you're not going to get worse performance just because you shifted to playing on something else, especially something cheaper, like shifting from a PC or Chromecast to playing on a your tablet, phone, or Chromebook.
With having to have such an incredibly fast internet connection, doesn't the price of that, especially over time, negate the price advantage of Stadia vs PS5 / Xbox Series / high-end PC setups?

Perhaps in May 2020 there were no free games (unless you subscribed to Stadia Pro), but as of now in December 2020, Destiny 2 and SuperBomberman R Online are both available for free for everyone.  And this specific weekend, Pac-Man Mega Tunnel Battle is being made available for free just for the weekend, although it is usually a $20 purchase.

My kids have a Chromebook each at  home that we've bought, which currently they use for school via their school accounts.  I realize I'll have to create personal Google accounts for them to be able to use Stadia, and to create a Google family setup so I can share Stadia games with them as well as kid movies I've bought on Google Play.  I've bought each one a Stadia controller for Christmas, so I'm planning to make Stadia and their own personal, non-school Google accounts my present to them.  So I've got a bunch of questions about that, but I guess I better take them one at a time.  Here's one: I realize I can limit the games they can access to only what games that I share with them or have bought for them, so that takes care of one aspect of the kid-appropriateness issue.  However, can I block them from even being able to see the Stadia Store at all?  Even though they wouldn't be able to play all the games on the Store other than the ones I allow, I'd rather they not even see anything but games I'm allowing for them.  I don't want them to nag or pester me even for kid-friendly games we don't own, and I sure don't want them to see the trailers, images, or even names of games that are too scary or otherwise inappropriate for them.
