That's such a slippery argument. You can always underdeliver as long as you promise that 'products improve. This one will too'.

How about I don't pay the monthly subscription/for the controller and tell Google that "payments improve. Mine will too"?

I'm obviously salty because I preordered Stadia (against my better judgement) and it's terrible.

Latency is pretty bad (GFN by comparison works fine for me). Samurai Shodown, a brawler game, is mostly unplayable.

The overall quality is very beta (black screen in Stadia unless you disable hardware acceleration, which I have to do every time, Stadia can't easily handle multiple Google accounts, I have to change accounts every single time).

Probably worst thing is very Google-like support. Super long queues for "Customer Care", phonelines are closed at 10:30 AM because they're "Out of hours".
