Price is comparison will be variable. If you're chasing the highest specs and framerates, you're spending more than streaming would cost. As for artifacts, I played most of Assassin's Creed Odyssey at the highest specs through Shadow and noticed barely any difference between the gaming rig I have, running it at the same settings. And I still owned the game, it was installed from my Steam library. Not owning is a legitimate concern with something like Stadia, but not most other services. Ads in Streams? Again, maybe for Stadia if they release a free version, but for most services where you're basically buying a friendly front end to something like EC2 and running from your own library of games, no- Ads are not an issue. You're already paying for the commodity computing, and Amazon or whoever will no more insert ads to game streams than they would an RFP session.
