Interestingly enough, if you look at threads like this, the comments almost always boil down to "pro-Stadia" versus "anti-Google" sentiments.

Not to make more generalizations, but I think you'll find that people that like Stadia like it because they actually like the Stadia product (surprise!) -- and people that hate on Stadia often do so because they have other issues with the company behind it.

Sure, Google might shut down Stadia someday. That'd be unfortunate but not too unexpected. In the meantime, I'm pretty sure enjoying a product that's been around for years and shows no indication that it'll go away any time soon doesn't make you an apologist for the megacorp behind that product.

I have no problem with people liking stadia. I'm against cloud gaming because of its own issues. I am against google because of its owm issues.

I'm sure one could be pro stadia/cloud gaming and still be cognizant of the garbage google pulls.

I am glad you are enjoying stadia, and I truly hope it'll be one of the services that survive, maybe it'll improve cloud gaming issues to the point I'd be on board.

But the op was in here touting google rarely closes paid offerings, ignoring they dont have many paid offerings and those are every bit at risk of being 'googled' like all their other services.

Google's own track record is every reason for me to put zero trust in them.

OP said nothing of the sort. All they did was list some (substantial) differences between the comparisons. They certainly might feel that way, but there's not enough in their post to conclude that.
