So You Want to Compete with Steam (2018)

This could be a lot of people with a business or Apple laptop living far from home - business trips, expats, migrants. I had to migrate recently and currently have only a work laptop with me, so I have tried Stadia and it was rather good for some games. Best example - ESO, which for 10$ pulled all my progress and DLCs from the cloud. But yes, with the Google "reputation" and the requirement to re-buy all games the second time Stadia is dead in the water, I won't invest there anything above a few dollars.

Have you ever tried GeForce Now? Similar or better performance than Stadia, but it just uses your existing Steam library.

It's a separate subscription (free to $20/mo) for the streaming service, but you can play many of your current titles without re-buying them (not all, due to publisher withdrawals).

To play ALL your games, Shadow.tech will stream a full GPU-enabled desktop that you can run anything you want in.

Not yet, but I plan to try, thanks for the suggestion. It is definitely a better idea, a pity that some publishers withdrawed from that service.
