$9.99 per month for 4K 60 fps streaming is too much?

Without games? Yes! With Netflix you get access to all the movies for a similar price. On Stadia, you'll have to "buy" them first before you can play them. Sure, you get a free game per month, but at that rate, it's not really worth it. That's worse than Nintendo Switch Online! Which is actually quite a feat.

Add to that that you need really fast internet and a stable connection to just keep up with current gen, not even mentioning next gen, that you can't get above 60fps or tweak graphics (No-go for many PC gamers). Like I explained in the other post, you will need fiber for 4k gaming on stadia, HVEC and AV1 both want a minimum of 40 Mbit and 160 Mbit optimum for 4k, while AV9 wants a mean 120 Mbit. In other words, that's at least 50$/month for the internet connection, and may god help you if you're on a metered connection...

Besides, who knows how long Stadia will actually live. I mean, have you seen Google's graveyard already?

With such a track record, there's no guarantee that your purchase will last if Stadia ain't a huge success.

A company that really follows fail hard, fail fast concept, and that don't put money once the project won't accelerate;
