So, you have to buy the games? Like the poster above, I was expecting something more like Netflix, even if somewhat more expensive.

Not sure if this is worth even for the "free" 1080p gaming. It might do for someone on a pinch, but anyone would be better off spending less than $150 for a GPU able to do the same with far less input latency and internet use.

A 10.7 tflop GPU currently costs alot more than $150. Google Stadia server blades each have a 10.7 tflop AMD GPU. 

Do you think they'll increase detail and kindly crank up their GPUs to 100% for you to play for free? Obviously not. A fraction of it will do.

Electricity is more expensive than bandwidth. No wonder the one free service Google once thought putting behind a paywall was Google Translate, because it's the most demanding on their physical hardware.
