I've got one, but I've never used it even before the free trial ran out.
Looks like Stadia is now more of a development platform for games developers rather than a consumer platform.
Why bother, when you can save a fortune on land, electricity and staffing if you sink the server farm underwater, drop it down to 20m below the surface, and cooling is no longer an issue. And it's fairly cheap to do, smaller farms linked together in a daisy chain underwater, Microsoft did this over 20 years ago with retrofitted decompression chambers used to house the servers underwater. Not to mention there is currently a mega server farm being built in Asia, underwater, to take advantage of waters thermal properties, the cheapness of land, wave tidal and current for power, not to mention depth for security - 20m underwater makes a physical breakin to nick data, or do naughty things with the actual servrers next to impossible - I have family involved in this project.
In the case of stadia you want the server farm relatively close because of latency.
Our compromise at Google is we always build a DC next to sustainable water source.
