Stadia. It was so easy and reliable.
Ultimately Stadia was an absolute win for those who gave it a chance. Google gave away those controllers like candy and when they pulled the plug, not only did you get a full refund for every game you purchased, they even unlocked the controllers so you can use them as Bluetooth controllers.
Stadia was good, but Geforce Now is just so much better.
This is asklemmy, not unpopular opinion.
It really was, though. Stadia was super convenient for playing games... anywhere really. I know a guy through Discord who played using it over Starlink. And it was free. 1080p60, any games you bought from their store where yours to play whenever. And Destiny 2 became Free to Play as well, without any payment required.
They kind of shot themselves in the foot by launching it paid. I saw plenty of launch coverage when you had to pay a subscription and also buy games but everyone knew they would shut down because it was Google so no one bought into it. This is the first I've heard of it being free and I had to confirm it but that would have really sweetened the deal on launch.
