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

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).

I definitely hope this will continue to be the case. Not sure who in sane mind will sign for permanent Stadia exclusivity. It's just the waste of efforts. The platform has probably like less than 1% marketshare.
