Even if Google manages to get Stadia in perfect working order for all players, the issue then becomes that the model they have come up with for Stadia simply does not make any sense.
While Google’s main pitch is that you are saving on hardware costs because Stadia is entirely in the cloud, it’s still not a cheap prospect for other reasons. Nor does it make much sense for either avid gamers, or non-gamers.

Sony owns a fair few iconic franchises - many dating right back to the original PlayStation. But while we’re pretty familiar with the likes of ongoing series such as God of War, Horizon, and Gran Turismo, there are plenty of PlayStation franchises that haven’t seen the light of day in a long time. So in this video, we’re going to be taking a look at the status of PlayStation’s many IPs, and checking in on when we last heard from them.
Indeed. We hear this “underutilized” talk as if every old franchise should have a comeback or reboot.
When new IPs start looking like Concord, you can't blame people for wanting another Resistance or Killzone instead.
J&D and Resistance are good ones. As much as I love these, though, I'm not sure they would payoff without an enormous marketing push. Younger gamers today do not have taste and the older gamers that would appreciate these might not be enough. But yeah, I would day 1 Resistance.
Well that’s just the consequence of consistently producing new IPs isn’t it. Not all studios can be or want to be like polyphony digital who made gran turismo all the time.
Here lies The Infamous Series; once a shining beacon of free flying, lighting bolt sniping, and wire riding amazing gameplay, it has been laid to rest and be forgotten for what seems like forever despite being loved by millions. Plot next to Wipeout across from NBA Jam.
Still baffling they cancelled Twisted Metal, Factions 2 and Spider-Man Multiverse LS game but thought Concord looked good enough.
Ape Escape, Parappa / Lammy, Gravity Rush, good times. Always hoping for them to make a return, or at least similar type games, such as the newly-announced Astro Bot, but one game isn't enough. Bring back the joyfulness of the 90's era of gaming.

Glad to see this pointed out. A lot of people on here are in denial about how poorly it runs ("Ignore all the video reviews showing significant input lag. It runs flawlessly on my connection."), but none even try to justify the business model.
LOL!
It is hard to justify changing anything I have today for Stadia.
To me, streaming is not going to replace locally played games anytime soon. I still travel a lot to places where my internet access is very limited. So, streaming just is not an option for probably 20-30% of my gaming.
Who’s seriously going to say “I don’t want to spend $300 on a console but I’d happily pay $120 a year on a service to play a library I can only access by streaming?”
Nongamers are not going to care about the AAA experience and dedicated gamers will already have a console or PC which would also have streaming abilities
