Streaming is the future but the Stadia business model is not. What happens if (or perhaps when?) Google decides to kill it? I'm probably in Google's target market for Stadia - I don't own a gaming PC and have reliable gigabit fiber. But I'm not prepared to drop vast sums into building a library on Stadia if I could lose everything. They need to work on a more sustainable business model (for them and consumers) but in the meantime they need to work with publishers so existing players can request Steam keys. If they did that I would be willing to give Stadia a shot.

I presume they would give you digital copies you could play on your own computer considering that is exactly what they did for the assassin's creed odyssey beta I participated in for stadia a few years ago.
