Inbox was superior in every way, that’s what did it for me. I also remember the good old days of iGoogle, a page that could be customized with widgets, and Schemer where users could set challenges and goals for other users.
Xbox Game Pass rotates games all the time. That means if I want to play a 50-hour RPG, I might have to finish the game before it gets rotated out. And Xbox doesn’t make the schedule available.
With Stadia I could purchase games and play it at my own pace, even without a subscription.
The games available to play with cloud gaming vary based on platform and region. You can find the latest selection of titles available for cloud gaming here: Xbox Game Pass Games Library
That means only games in the Game Pass library is playable via cloud.
Yeah, and I can't speak for everyone here, but I didn't even bother trying it even though I was intrigued. It seemed like the kind of thing that could be completely game-changing and I wasn't willing to get hooked on another Googler's pet project that'd just get the axe in a few years. It's a self fulfilling prophecy at this point, nothing new is likely to get any traction because no one wants to run the risk and then Google cancels it. If they were willing to put in writing that they'll support something for x number of years (that's end user facing, not just whatever contracts they make with devs or whatever), it'd probably go a long way, but they're not willing to support an expensive flop if the product is what actually sucks, so, they're not likely to do that.
Hell, even anything older still runs the risk at any time :-\
