I really don't feel all that certain as to whether Google will succeed or not. Google has more than its fair share of failed products. That said, with the potential of it, and the money Google is willing to throw at it, I don't think Stadia will do so poorly that it'll get canceled or anything. I see no value in it, as I don't want to pay for something I won't own. I think I'm not even close to alone in that, so I think there will always be a market for ownable consoles with physical, ownable games. Until there's a true Netflix of games, offering unlimited access to all of its library for no additional fee beyond the subscription fee, I don't think game streaming will take off the way Netflix has. The first company to offer that will win. If it isn't Stadia, not even all of Googles money could prevent Stadia from being a significant minority on marketshare compared to whoever has the guts to make a true gaming Netflix. Even with a gaming Netflix though, I suspect we'll still have ownable games and consoles, because as I said, there are just enough of us that there will be a market for it for the foreseeable future.
