Not many games, but they didn't often have sales (so many were stuck at MSRP for years), and they also had some hardware sales (controllers, etc.)

For Google it's chump change, I'm sure, but I still appreciate it. I bought like two titles on there before realizing it was a doomed effort... meanwhile GeForce Now sees very active improvements and a much bigger library.

GeForce now is great and if I ever get a new gaming PC, I can play every last game on my own GPU. The tech works perfectly, the free tier is generous and the subscription is a value. Stadia was behind the moment they launched and flat out refused to give an inch to improve the product.

This is a company so obviously in love with its incredible success from ages gone by that it thinks we still owe it our brand loyalty. We do not.

Would be cool if I could use stadia hardware for GeForce now

Yeah, too bad those controllers don't work as generic Bluetooth ones :(

(if you didn't know, though, xbox controllers do work great with geforce now)
