That's a perfect example of what digital only market is gonna be. Full control of game distribution by one company which can set the price as high as it wants. Would be interesting to see if discounts would be a thing on this service or not.

It feels like Google rushed Stadia out. The lack of games and the few games available seem to be overpriced. Microsoft is doing it right with xCloud with not rushing it and having it linked with Game Pass. xCloud will have far more games when it officially launches.

This isn't to stay that Google won't turn it around and substantially increase the number of games on it. But without the games there is little reason to buy into Stadia. 

It's not as easy for Google to just increase the number of games like Microsoft did (from 4 to 50+). They need to convince developers first to make games for Stadia in order to put them there. Microsoft already has thousands of games available which they can put on xCloud anytime they want.
