I remember when stadia was first coming out. People in the industry pointed out “it’s Google. They won’t support this in a few years” and I agreed with that, remembering Google+ and hangouts being killed. But one of my relatives had decided to go for it, getting the hardware that was available for it and actively using it. I remember we talked about it once and that was it. It wasn’t anything groundbreaking, just a way to play games somewhere else. My biggest issue I saw with it was that I didn’t “own” the games. That if Google killed their service, all those games would be gone, which is exactly what happened (with a benefit that there would be refund (probably to a Google account so you have like $100+ in the Google play store)). Other than that, it wasn’t really cool or anything. No one I game with used stadia for anything. It was like… another launcher in my eyes. I try to avoid those whenever I can.

Not sure if being in the uk was different to the states, but I remember getting ads for stadia ALL THE TIME. I was so tired of them, because they were really safe ads that did nothing new. A good comparison to stadia would be geforce now, its runs a lot smoother and has ray tracing options which is pretty impressive.

The main problem is that, it is true that even in the poorest countries people have access to the internet, not everyone have a constant high-bandwith internet with close distance to the game servers. And that's where the ship starts sinking... Not to mention lag and input delay.

That's an oddly specific niche, which is part of the problem. I used to live in a state in the Midwest of the United States . Said state, particularly in the more up to date areas, had a deal with Comcast where Comcast had what was effectively a government-ordained monopoly. Comcast was the only provider with decent internet in a LARGE area and everyone else was McDonalds wi-fi (or worse). Comcast then took advantage of this position and instituted a Data Cap. You could only use about 1 TB worth of data in a month, and if you went over, you get ABSOLUTELY reamed by Comcast. Of course, you can pay substantially more for a plan without a Data Cap, if you really wanted to, but it wasn't economical. Funnily enough, they removed the Data Caps during the first few months of COVID, and the system ran totally fine. They were just there to take advantage of people and their position. I should mention that in virtually every other location that Comcast provides their "service," they also have Data Caps. So, in any location where Comcast is the de-facto internet provider and people can't afford to get the extremely expensive no-data-cap plan, Stadia is completely useless. If you want to do anything other than game on Stadia using your internet, it just isn't gonna happen.

It was just so listless, directionless and basically worse version of something that already exists and it felt like Google had no confidence in it from the beginning, so with their track record of killing projects, people thusly, also didn’t have confidence in their long term support.

Another thing regarding stadia was that since its essentially a gaming streaming service it would basically be nearly impossible to pirate games. Something really good for companies. The downside is that it would kinda make moding games nearly impossible to. And if the game was a stadia exclusive then you better enjoy it while it's still in the servers. Because unless it gets a port for other platforms it would be impossible to emulate and therefore to preserve those games for future generations. So the day they decide that they don't want that game in the platform for whatever reason or when they decide to end the project you are left with nothing. And even assuming stadia was a succes for the coming decades it would eventually end like every company/country/organization.
