What I think is most interesting about this compared to previous streaming attempts is the extent to which it really is a platform, with hardware and features that allow developers to do some things not possible with traditional gaming.
If Google can convince devs to really develop to the platform and leverage these things, the ubiquity and low barrier of entry could power a Fortnite-style breakout hit and blow this service up.
I don't see it taking off as just an alternative to buying games that run on local hardware, but if it becomes its own thing, the intergration with Youtube and social features could be pretty compelling.
