That depends.

If you have a high end gaming pc, probably not, but if you have a regular laptop or want to play on your tv, then I'd say yes

Edit

Should add that you need a solid internet connection

> That depends.

Do you care if you actually own your games? Or are OK with google owning the games, they just allow you to play them?

FTFY

You don’t own your games on any platform anymore unless you are buying physical console games. It’s more a question of do you trust the store.

I trust steam to continue existing and providing access for a very long time. I do not expect that stadia will still exist in 10 years. If the service ends up failing, they aren’t going to have gaming hardware sitting around for you to use it.

Personally, I don't as I struggle to remember the last time I replayed a game but I can understand how some people would be put off by this.

I very rarely replay any games I buy so frankly no it doesn't matter much to me.

Solid as in continuous. My internet is nothing to write home about and I've had no issues.
