I played ACreed during their beta and the game played smoothed. Bandwidth did do a jump. I would have to keep a close eye and probably monitor my use a lot until I figured out how many hours I could play a day to stay under my cap.

Because Google already has extremely expensive server network deployed in every noticeable city across the globe. Adding a bunch of cheap gaming PCs ($2-5k each) to that network is a pocket change to them compared to cost of pro servers (5-200k each).
Not to mention how Google can afford specialized hi-end streaming hardware development, feature inaccessible to mere mortals - like those bitcoin mining rigs created specifically for the certain mining hubs. If anything streaming services are the future of gaming, especially when 5G will become mass product and we'll be able to get hi-res PC graphics on phones and $200 tablets.
Thank you for your time!
I wouldn't say dead on arrival, but it will have several and lots of problems, thing is, people who have a internet as good and as fast would have money, and if they have money buying a computer who could run it or any device, and most people who like to spend playing have good rigs to run anything, it will be a small niche and I don't see anything usefull in the future for such, but oh make sure they will push such thing hard, no better way to keep what people play and shoving adds easier then forced online requirement

If you have a 5G device today and stand before a 5G access point, you can get up to 2Gb/s+ download speeds.
It takes a couple of seconds to download a movie.
I've got a 100 mbps/100mbps connection as part of my rent, an in my city of 191 thousand inhabitants there are at least 11 thousand households in similar situation because the company renting apartments made a deal with the provider for every apartment they own. Additionally there's over 4 thousand people in student apartments who also get good net connection as part of their rent. There's already a lot of potential audience for a service like Stadia.
Though most of that audience is likely outside USA. I live in Finland. The net prices and accessibility in most of the Europe, Japan and South Korea is a lot better than what people in USA are accustomed to. Google is a global company and they can launch the service as long as they've got enough potential audience somewhere on the globe.
It's just an interesting industry trend for the extreme casual gamer... for now.
They'll get some traction with more serious gamers due to their Netflix-like monthly pass with access to almost anything they have. But at release as I understand, they'll have some games that won't be part of the monthly pass and will need to be purchased separately a la carte.

10 years ago watching video streams on a cell phone, or even a computer was something unheard of. Only the elites could have access to that, in order to do video conferences.

You'd have to go back more than 10 years before watching video streams was unheard of.
I began watching recorded 240P yt videos in 2006. Now i can watch 1080P+ 60FPS live stream on my phone with no problem. With the same price of internet(corrected by inflation). My net package went from 300 kbps back in 2006 to 50 mbps now. Same package, just the speed was improved over time.
Anyway, Stadia will be the beginning of what seems to be the future of gaming. It will not be perfect, but it will also not be a fail. If you prefer buying ..physical games, that's all good, but don't "doom" Stadia, because you are unable or don't want.. to adapt.
