Poor these studios, they are in for some hard time.

I gotta say I really don't like the idea of games being locked to a streaming platform. The experience is always going to be inferior to playing on local hardware. I'd honestly rather have always online drm.

I guess something like Until Dawn would work fine, though.

The bigger problem is not the inferior experience, the bigger problem is that if Stadia gets shut down at some point, all these games will be lost forever.

That is not necessarily the case. Exclusivity tends to matter less over time. Look at former exclusives like Ori, Wonderful 101, Horizon Zero Dawn, Cuphead or Octopath Traveler. So I don't expect these games staying exclusive forever. This also includes already existing Stadia exclusives like Gylt (which is a nice game that you should play once it comes to other platforms).
