Is it really that awkward though, like the end of Stadia wasn’t well predicted?
It was a smart move to open Chromebook's support to cloud gaming competitors. Stadia's performance was so poor, had they still supported it, it's hard to tell if it would discourage competitors from releasing on their hardware as well, my guess is it wouldn't.
Sadly, like basically everyone else, I never trusted Google enough to buy into the ecosystem - and consequently bought a grand total of 1 game.
Getting the new MBP actually pushed me to GeForce Now at the time which can hit true 4k@120hz and stream at native Mac resolutions with eg ray tracing in Cyberpunk 2077 now up to 70Mbps, I highly recommend trying it out if you’re still interested in cloud gaming, the difference is quite drastic.
That’s the strongest thing a platform can have.
