Although Stadia might fail, I see cloud gaming (i.e. streaming A/V) as a revolution for multiplayer games. We can now have all kinds of complicated physics and particle engines, since all players are known to experience the exact same “world model”. It might help a lot with anti-cheat technology as well. It’s pretty exciting!

Honestly, as soon as Google announces a new product, my first thought is to wonder how long until it is shut down. Google has completely lost my trust in relying on any of their products. Even when they come out and claim that this product will not be cancelled, for reals this time, pinky promise, etc. I simply can't believe them.

I kinda want this to turn into a game. Maybe by being able to buy a ticket and bet that it is X days before/after the D-day. Whoever is closest at the time of the actual shutdown will win the whole prize pool.

Plus gaming has a very sharp peak utilization at a certain time of day and then much lower. When not being used for gaming they can use the GPUs for training, so the marginal cost of providing the gaming stuff could be very low compared to if they had to idle all that hardware most of the day.
