> MapBox is venture-funded and recently raised again, while we're bootstrapped and don't plan to raise VC money.

This could be really important. Mapbox is a Softbank rocketship, which is trying to get to the stratosphere but has a big chance of exploding on the way up. If they can't figure out how to become a $10B+ public company, best case they are bought by e.g. Google and shut down 14 months later.

Whereas if Stadia can hit break-even and become sustainable, they could have a smaller but more reliable platform that sticks around.
