Mac ports are typically more expensive anyway so this way you can get a game as soon as it comes out or in a sale and just add $15-20 to the price to be able to play it under macOS without putting any load on the hardware at all.Stadia billed itself as a streaming revolution, nothing less than a paradigm shift that would change the way we think about gaming. Using it for an occasional demanding game would be ideal.

These services will likely only ever be a small portion of the overall games industry but it's a great option to have for low-end Mac users because it saves having to install Bootcamp. NVidia is better suited for this than the other services because they make the GPUs, the other services had to buy the GPUs from AMD/NVidia and NVidia has its own money to invest in it. It's easy to see why the other companies went out of business. Average games only take 10-20 hours each, a handful can take a long time. To make a profit at $0.8/hour, they'd need every one of 10m users to play 187 hours of games. They can build a 1060 for ~$150, that would be a $1.5b cost for all the gamers and as GPUs improve in performance, they can satisfy more gamers with fewer GPUs. They wouldn't need to target 10m concurrent, Steam peaks at 14m.
If NVidia targets 10 million gamers and each server blade can handle 16 users and there are 20 blades per rack, they'd need 30k racks e.g 10k per data center. The appeal would mostly be for whatever portion of low-end/laptop users want to play high-end titles.
Not all of them need the power to play higher-end games and the ones that do typically already have a setup capable of it, they haven't been waiting for a solution. This service applies to PC users, Steam has over 125m active users. NVidia rebranded to Geforce Now after Sony launched their Playstation Now service. OnLive went bankrupt years ago, Sony bought both them and Gakai and currently run Playstation Now. Their cloud gaming prices are high at around $0.80 per hour but other services have run out of money by pricing too low. NVidia has an advantage in being able to use their grid for other tasks like computing so they can make money that way too. These services all have long beta phases to figure out what the demand is going to be and if it can be sustained financially. The demand isn't constant throughout the day, it will be almost zero during the working part of the day and then high demand for 4-6 hours and then zero overnight but they need to keep the systems operating all the time. One of the difficulties is making this profitable.

Most games don't need more than 4TFLOPs for maximum quality at 1080p so some higher-end GPUs could be shared by multiple users for lower-end titles:
They can also virtualize the GPUs, up to 16 users per GPU, some of the server GPUs have multiple GPU cores:

Each 1060 is as fast as a PS4 Pro so 16 PS4s per blade. It wouldn't be cost-effective nor use optimal space and cooling to have one PC per user, they use server racks: Perhaps one can find out about the details on the service site.
Or if it's a crowd leasing grid of sertified machines and network specs. Like if there's an equal amount of gaming PC's that there are users, packed in a LAN party server room, lol. I'm wondering what the backend looks like. This is sick, that high quality video latency can even get this low over the internet.
