I honestly think if it was a service like Gamepass Ultimate where the games come with the sub, it would’ve been a success.

I mean, they should've communicated better, because that's essentially what the paid subscription was: subscribing would get access to a library of free games to play. I think the library could've been better.

Even today, I'm using Geforce Now + XBox Game Pass, I find that the streaming quality isn't the same as Stadia (but the game selection is much, much better).

My wife's computer had a hardware failure so I set her up on GeForce Now for a month until I could diagnose and fix the issue (i was super busy with returning to college at the time) and it was absolutely jarring how well it worked!
