Great that it works where you are, I assume the US. Here in New Zealand of course it's not launched. So while I can pick one of any other consoles/devices to play games on, Stadia isn't one of them.

If you can't reach more than one country, why would anyone want to develop for it?

Stadia is supported in 21 countries though. A majority of NA and EU.

Totally feel for you, but similar to anything that requires a decent internet connection, NZ and AUS get left in the dust

NZ has excellent internet speeds.

Stadia needs low latency to a Google DC. There are plenty of such DCs in the US and Europe, but not in NZ.

Yes it's a shame DCs are immutable and impossible to add to.

Stadia is in a bunch of countries and rolling out to more. It's almost as though it's a new product and didn't immediately launch at global scale.

>It's almost as though

The sarcasm does not add anything to your comment.
