This is unfortunate, but perhaps it's OK.

I assume they would fight to earn additional money on game streaming, even though the money simply isn't there. For example, a litany of AAA game companies do not allow their games to be streamed via GeForce Now, even though it would be running your own copy that you bought from your Steam or other library. There's also other very irritating issues. Considering how expensive GPUs are, is it even possible the prices for an on-demand gaming service could ever make that much sense? With Stadia, they are making you buy the games through Stadia itself, where they would get a cut of the revenue, which probably helps subsidize the actual cost of the service a bit more. I do see how this could be more appealing for consumers, but aside from competing with themselves, I also would be curious about the economics. I find it difficult to believe they'd offer this, given that they already have Stadia.

This could include important data like any files you’ve downloaded, or locally cached passwords. Since ChromeOS is an online-centric operating system, the vast majority of your data will be stored remotely, but make sure you’ve backed up everything important that’s local to your machine before you begin. Placing your device into Developer Mode will wipe all data and user information from it.
