These types of games give you visibility and goodwill towards the platform. As Cyberpunk is a big game with great expectation behind, one that dilutes the importance of exclusives and above all, one that makes intermittent enthusiasts return to video games (something for which Stadia fits perfectly). The problem is that it seems that the sword of Damocles is continuously on the platform, users (and the market) have the feeling that it could die from one day to the next. Stadia needs its Cyberpunk moment at least 2 times a year to not be forgotten or left for dead, and Elden Ring would be the perfect opportunity... but it is possible that Google has not been for the work of continuing to try... It is a pity that surely to bring games to the platform, distributors or developers expect/demand to be paid in advance, but if you do it with games of this caliber I think at least the investment will be largely compensated. Without exclusives there is no other way to gain a foothold in the market and get to have a wide enough strip for games to arrive alone. Well in the end what I mean is that... if, if Elden Ring were out on Stadia, I would play it there and wouldn't be the only one XD
