> It's different in that you manage your own gaming PC

I don't see any mention of this on the site, only:

"After you subscribe, we create your Cloud PC in our nearest datacenter."

Unless I misunderstood in that it's not your own PC, but an instance of one you have full control over.

Sorry for the ambiguity, I only meant that you manage installing games (and sometimes even drivers) yourself, as opposed to having a fully managed service where everything "just works" like Stadia. You're right that you don't get your own specific PC, which is actually part of the appeal. The hardware is abstracted away like in any cloud service, so you don't need to concern yourself with upgrading it or fixing it.
