Not sure about that. I am sure Google and the gaming companies have a deal on how much of the money goes to Stadia, how much to the game devs. Still, heavy users on one or two games might use the service a lot and pay only once. I really don't know. We still don't know how much the games cost, don't we?

Nope, and depending on how much that is and which games come to it will be a big factor in how much Stadia is worth. I mean, if I paid for Stadia (just the subscription fee) for 6 years running, I'd have enough money to build the PC I have now (which is now 6 years old). It can't run games at 4K, but it is a PC that can do a lot for me and I can watch Blu-Rays and DVD's on it.

People don't usually calculate that way. Psychological speaking a monthly fee seems more affordable than one big expense once. Yes, that is not rational, but human beings are seldom rational. Also you get Stadia now, not in six years.
