Please explain how putting it into another closed platform (stadia) under the tyranny of google will solve it?

Stadia maybe a closed platform but it's tools are not and that's the biggest difference since any big game publisher can use those tools to create their own cloud gaming platforms or they can decide to release their games on Linux ...

As far as I know devs can make their game very close to the metal and not some type of tyrant language that devs need to sell their soul.

With console vendors, you have no choice but to use a proprietary graphics API so developers are forced to waste time to entertain the politics of every vendor despite the fact that they use nearly the same consumer grade hardware as seen in PCs or mobile phones ... 

Google and Valve are the only ones picking up the pieces so far but hopefully others such as Tencent can contribute to making Linux a viable alternative for gaming instead of solely just having all these closed platforms like consoles or Windows hanging around ... 

Good luck in people going linux
