Google. A tech giant. Video games. A massive industry. Stadia, an incalculable failure. How could a company so in tune with the internet fail to make a gaming platform entirely based around web services?
Well, they weren't the first to fail at streaming, and probably won't be the last. As tempting as streaming is as a technology, there's a lot about the nature of video games that, at least for now, makes the two poor partners.
