    I felt Stadia had potential but I also thought they should have tried a game subscription model rather than the one they went with.

    I very recently tried Expedition 33 with GFN and I tried turning the graphics all the way down and the lag seemed unbearable. It very well could be me, but I have a fibre optic connection with typically low ping. It could just be where I’m situated or maybe there’s more configuration I didn’t figure out. I know others still like and use the service.

      I was playing Destiny 2 and the lag was only noticeable to me when I compared it to not using Stadia. While I was playing, I didn’t feel like there was anything to complain about.

      I think I saw less lag when connected to my house over Parsec, and definitely had less lag when playing locally at my house. I actually considered continuing to use Stadia, but by that point they had pretty much proven that they were not going to bother improving things further, and it didn’t make sense to pay for a service that didn’t provide an advantage over what I could do for free.
