Licensed games or leased games are already a thing.  Stadia isn't going to usher in an economic model that doesn't already exist. 

And no, the "Get work go broke" phrase isn't based on actual events but rather a hope that it happens. Remind me of that one character in the movie Clueless trying to make "fetch" an accepted expression of speech when nobody was really into it.  Nothing behind it, she just wanted it to be a thing.

Further, IPs that have embraced diversity and are "woke" have actually expanded their markets and grown.  I mean if we are looking at this as an example, Alphabet gained $6.6 billion more dollars and grew.

So let me get this right. If you go buy a PS4 or XB1 etc game. You dont own it? so if sony or ms etc stop doing gaming they can just come around to your house and take back your games?. If so its news to me. (And i dont just mean the license). If i buy a game i dont give a shit about the license i own that game no one is going to come around and take it off me after their service shuts down. with Stardia that license means something..

I only heard of the "Get Woke go Broke" thing in this thread so im just giving my opinion on maybe why its a thing. Can you name many franchise's such as games or movies etc that has tried to change their audience successfully?, I mean Star Wars is in pretty bad shape after trying to change their audience, Walking Dead has lost viewers etc. You just name Alphabet but how many more is there? like you said many IP's have successfully done this so can you name a few more? also how many IP's has lost money/Customers/Viewers after trying to change their audience compared to how many has successfully done it?.

Yes, you legally don't own the game, just the disc with the game on it. What you own is a license to use said game.

Like SpokenTruth said, you can't resell your digital games, and that's because you only own an usage license for the game. That's also the reasoning behind Microsoft trying to stop used games when they announced XBO - it's just a small change in the usage license, but with huge repercussions.
