Honestly i don't mind being wrong or being percieved as wrong. Its a good discussion to be had right now. Now my assumption might not have happend in the timeframe i set but wouldnt it be great to have for lets say 10 -20 euros a month extra a device you would have had otherwise anyway that can stream or play what consoles or older pcs can play aswell hell maybe even highend pcs with enough technological advancements? Instead of simply saying no, think with me

Honestly, no.  I don't want to play games on my tiny ass phone screen.  And if I'm going to have to hook it up to my TV or a monitor anyway, then I might as well just stick with a console.  Especially against a cost of 10-20 Euros a month extra.  A dedicated console + games would be price equivalent at the worst over a 5-7 year lifespan of the console

There's also a critical flaw in your implied argument.  There's not going to be a single streaming service at €10-20 per month.  There's going to be a number of them.  Each with their own exclusives and features.  You're dramatically underestimating the cost to the consumer.

Even if Stadia were going to cost that much it wouldn't offer many games of worth. Stadia would just get generic 3rd party AAA games. Any exclusives of any sort just wouldn't show up on the system. Imagine if Stadia had launched at the start of 2018. Here's all the quality new games the service would have in 2018...

And that is really stretching it, because who knows if Namco or Capcom would really want to put their games on a service at launch like that. MH World is only just now coming to Gamepass, so if Stadia had been out in 2018, it likely would just now be coming to Stadia as well.
