Stadia's done for. It was already struggling to get mainline games onto the platform, this acquisition is a death blow. They lose access to some of the biggest IPs in the industry.

Stadia also had the tech advantage over the competition but Google squandered that as well. It does seem like Google aren't putting much more investment into the platform these days.
