They were never really in it. The problem with Stadia is the lack of compelling 1st party software. Instead of investing in games early on, they released a service and then invested in 1st party studios which means it will be at least 3-4 years before one of their games releases, which leaves Stadia to survive solely on 3rd party titles. Amazon did a slightly better job at this, but still is missing any kind of compelling software to get gamers invested in the ecosystem.

Saying "the problem with Stadia" when talking about it makes it sound like it only had one problem, which is being mighty generous.

Of course, but most issues for any platform can be ignored or overlooked if it has quality exclusive games on it. Stadia had multiple issues, but imo the main one was lack of 1st party games.
