@Classic-Rando I think one of biggest problems with your experience with Stadia is that you are not the target audience. Stadia is about decreasing the barriers for high quality gaming. There are things that I'm sure you can or do appreciate about Stadia like its mobile experience or general interest in cloud gaming, but Stadia is probably a couple years from being something you will appreciate (assuming things go well) and that time frame would have been that way form the beginning. The only reason Stadia is on my radar is curiosity, the same for Luna, and the same for GFN. I have a high end gaming PC that Stadia (or any current console) does not match. I have a PS4 Pro and a Nintendo Switch. The only reason I didnt upgrade to an RTX3080 was its launch was both in high demand and a crap show. The only reason I did not pre-order a PS5 is because I have a stupid urge to get a new XBox too so Im going to wait and decide which one I get later (if not both and the XBox being series S). For now if you don't play games on your phone Stadia isn't going to be for you. In a few years if they develop games specifically for Stadia that take advantage of AI and other cloud services they may be able to bring special gaming experiences for people across levels of gaming budgets. Stadia overhyped their launch in my opinion and have only really started to deliver the Stadia specific features starting this summer and YouTube integrations are starting to trickle in. The game library is still relatively small, but has been making pretty good progress both with number of games and starting to bring in EA games soon for example. It has a long ways to go, but it has always worked well for me as a streaming service, it has made large improvements in game library, it is now releasing its enhanced features. Family sharing, search, and useful messaging are obviously missing, but they are putting together a pretty solid service.
