Not sure why people here are even remotely clamouring for Google of all companies, to pocket "exclusives" for their online, streaming only platform, especially considering just a few short years ago, on how much hate there was for digital games, never mind online only based.

Why would you chant for them to get anything exclusive?, because you don't own it, you're going to have to fork out for the best net connection and you're still diddled harder than consoles/PC's offerings, let alone the fact that we don't suffer the pitfalls Stadia does. Just don't chant, stop saying "get excloosives!11", because it's dumb, just like Google was dumb for bothering with Google+, then abandoning it a few short years later, when they discovered "oh noes, we can't topple Facebook so easily".

It's either Nvidia's GFN, which benefits the customer first for having their library, or go the fuck home, and never come back. I'm actually shocked there's normie stadia fans in existence, that'd even remotely wish for Stadia to thrive (but then again, look at mobile "gaming" normies, which allowed us MT's into our core games, that group will needlessly pollute anything).

Didn't see anyone happy with they poaching these exclusives. What I saw was people acknowledging that they should have done it a lot earlier if they wanted to have people willing to sign.
