Wow, I didn't realize that Stadia games are running on Debian and Vulcan. https://stadia.dev/about/ That is a hard sell that you have to (likely) port your game to a completely different OS and graphics API for a presumably small customer base.

Well, if you want to play video games in your living room and you don't want your computer to be in there, a console is very convenient.

I have refused to sign up for Google Stadia for this reason. They want me to pay for games. But what happens when the service gets shut down?
Perhaps Arizona? I don't know if anyone was actually turned away. But I do remember reading about them instituting standards of care. Meaning doctors would have to decide which patients would be helped.
