Do you think that Google already is gaining money with the service? I don’t actually see how Stadia fits into Google‘s other business models that are centered around harvesting user data to foster advertising.

Running Stadia – in opposite to their other cloud services (except for AI applications) – costs them a whole lot more of money for the hardware.

I can only imagine that Stadia is Google’s clever way to cross-finance the hardware for many of their AI-based projects.
