Something tells me this is going to fail, but not for the right reasons (being pure, unadulterated cancer). Google has an extremely poor track record with projects that don't immediately take off and make shitloads of money (Nest is the most recent example). i dunno...My money is on them nurturing the tumor for a year or two and then letting it die a slow, agonizing death from capital starvation as they incrementally shift resources away to other, new shiny baubles that have caught the company eye.
Ever since their founders went all Scrooge McDuck with their gazillions, Alphabet/Google have been virtually indistinguishable from any other Big Tech firm in their financial strategy:
1. Throw a bunch of shit at the wall. Note what sticks.
2. Buy out any of your potential competitors. Gut them quietly behind closed doors.
3. When in doubt, SHUT IT DOOOOOWN!
That third one is what will ultimately sink Stadia, methinks.
