> Stadia can have $0 in additional hardware costs (assuming you already have a computer that runs Chrome).

I think this also applies to Gefore Now.

> The fact that you already own the games on other platforms doesn't necessarily apply to potential Stadia users.

True, but as long as you have a computer you might be better off buying games on steam because you can always play them offline if you want to in the future, even if the service stops existing.

> Plus, you're comparing Stadia's release price to GeForce Now's beta price. Not really a fair comparison

Stadia isn't even available yet. I guess when Stadia is out and GeForce is out of beta it will be possible to do a better comparison?

Agree with your points. Just think the OP was being misleading about the hardware costs for either platform.
