I was a true believer in Stadia for years and still am when it comes to cloud gaming. I was never paid a cent by Google to my knowledge (although they are refunding my purchases so I appreciate that).

That said, unfortunately you are correct that Google is a bloated rotting mess. The worst part is that Stadia was a legit good product.
