This pricing model is the best thing they could have done. Outright purchasing games and being able to play them forever without any subscription fee? They've just removed the barrier of entry to next-gen gaming. Of course cloud gaming isn't ready for widespread adoption and probably won't be a major contender to consoles for at least another decade. But in a couple of years when a new game comes out and you have the choice of paying $400 for a new console or just playing it on hardware you already own? If you have a good internet connection that's going to be an enticing offer, and I see it working. |
But how Stadia make money without any subscription?

By being the shop people buy from. Instead of the Netflix of gaming Stadia actually is positioned to be the Steam for people who are not into buying/maintaining HW. Obviously they also want as many people as possible to use the sub, but the best thing for them would be people buying tons of games on their shop and never playing them - like ppl do on Steam.
