Did people not see this project as clearly stillborn? The radio silence (when it comes to fixes, issues) is not new, nor have I heard a single positive comment about the service. This feels like investors and users alike got scammed by a product not ready for prime time. Did they assume they could fix it after boot? I really, really hate this trend of building the plane in flight with passengers present (paying customers), and coasting on expectation of fixes.

I had the same impression since the first announcement. Stadia is an enthusiast product (for now), but enthusiast don't need it.

Stadia might become lucrative in a few years with slow adoption and improvements but if you get into it right now, you just pay to be a beta tester.

Really? I have it and it works just as well as when I had a xbox and gaming pc. You can look through some of the other stadia threads here and on reddit and find plenty of other people who think it works well too.
