The ability to play many of my existing Steam games made GeForce Now the clear winner for me. Don't have to repurchase any games and if I decided to get a better gaming PC in the future (which I did when HL: Alyx came out), I can play any games I purchased prior on that PC.

The latency for multiplayer was just barely acceptable. I tried both Rocket League and Destiny 2 and was able to notice that I wasn't playing as well in either compared to playing locally.

I still struggle to see how Google plans to make Stadia successful when they're asking developers to port to their platform and players to pay for games they can't play locally. It would be interesting if they released a console offering that just replicated one of the Stadia servers but I don't see that happening.
