Feels like it’s going to end up like Stadia….

I was about to post that, it seems that I've already watched this movie.

As YouTube was never ever profitable, they probably will not care if it takes off or not.

The technology of Stadia was always fine - the issue was the business model of charging people $60 for games they'd get questionable future access to. If they can tie it to some kind of live system like YouTube's, that may be fine.
