What is the advantage of Stadia over NVIDIA GeForce NOW? I just learned today that Stadia requires games to be specifically developed for the platform, and you need to purchase a controller in order for the system to function. On the other hand, AFAIK, NVIDIA's product allows you to play most major Steam games that you own without requiring you to purchase a second physical device.

I think even the Steam mods work, but you have to wait for them to install every time you launch the game.

Stadia only requires the Stadia controller if you're playing on a Chromecast Ultra.

If you're playing on a Phone or in a browser window, then you can use most third party gamepads (8bitdo, Xbox, PS4)
