Kind of what I expected, lots of meaningless software & projects where the commercial viability is of big question. The bigger commercial ones like Google Music lasted many years but were clearly being dwarfed by competitors (Spotify/Apple Music).

The whole gaming industry is growing and investing heavily in streaming, its essentially seen as the future. At this moment in time there are no clear front runners, so I wouldn't expect Google to pull out after a rough start since no one is doing much better & the potential is still untapped.

Something can't be the future if it's been around for 25 years and mostly failed for 25 years. The Stadia model already failed with Onlive. Stadia is failing. It;s not the future. It's a failed present.
