I say that as someone who has a Stadia controller. I completed one story playthrough of Cyberpunk 2077 and I only had two or three times where I had to reset because of a bug. And I agree. It wasn't marketed well at all and on paper it should have worked. Monthly subscription and try out the latest games even if you don't have the PC specs or latest console to run it. Or you can out right purchase a game and it's tied to your Google/Stadia account.

The biggest obstacle with Stadia suceeding was Google's, rightfully earned, reputation to kill their products.

It ended up becoming a self fulfilling prophecy and has further cemented Googles reputation for killing products/services.

Google's M.O these days seem to be "If it doesn't make money instantly, kill it and move on."
