I have used GeForce NOW and Xcloud. I've not used Stadia, but I hear that its streaming technology is excellent, including 4K graphics.

That said, /r/stadia seems to be panicking; a lot of people are convinced that the new Chromecast launched this week with no Stadia support (not until "mid 2021") is yet more proof that Google has given up on the service.

I mean, Stadia folks at Google can say what they want from their little bubble, but the choice to launch a new Chromecast without them does speak much louder about how the company as a whole positions it.

The panic isn't unprecedented imo, Google should at least provide more updates on it.

There are tons of updates on stadia. They put out at least a post a week with new features and games. The pro subscribers now have access to dozens of games free of charge. Just last weak they put out the first game with support to crowd choice where you can have viewers of your game stream make choices in real time for you to play.

Having tried both, GeForce Now performed significantly better than Stadia, as well the steam library aspect...
