I wonder if it's people trying to keep people buying in? You always get that with failing MMO's and the like too. Securing their investment.
It's Best Buy, so I would say Buy it, try it, return if not worth it. For me as an aging gamer dad with little time to make investing in PCs or consoles worth but just wants to play some AAA titles from time to time, this was perfect.
I'm aware of stadia's perception, and I hope it succeeds.

On a side note, I revisited many of the reviews and saw that many had issues using Stadia at the office due to certain networking protocols and when they used it at home, had no issues. Another main issue was not being able to read the minimum requirements that Stadia listed since before it's release which was a connection speed of at least 10 Mbps. One specific reviewer had to turn gaming mode on his TV on as it had extreme latency. Once he switched to game mode, it all got better. It amazes me that people are able to get into these positions where they supposedly have the knowledge and are to be trusted from a educated yet non-bias perspective but their readers unfortunately get the opposite.
Since I want to give you all of the facts that I'm aware of, there's an incredibly large number of people that had issues using certain controllers via bluetooth on certain games. Stadia says they are not responsible for this, the game developers are. I have a pretty decent library on Stadia and the only game I had an issue with was Division 2 but seeing as I had a plethora of controllers to choose from, I just switched. A pleasure a lot of people signing up for the trial don't have.
I have very much enjoyed 4k games streaming (100mbps over wifi) without the $500 gaming hardware. My daughter can also play on her tablet while the wife and I watch TV. We eventually collected 4 controllers through the different promotions and purchased skins for them as well. The Stadia has been a fantastic purchase for the family and I don't see myself going back to console gaming anytime soon.
I can only assume that most of the critics who dump on Stadia have never actually tried it.
Also, shamelessly shilling my 'refer a friend code' here: Use my link for 2 free months of Stadia Pro, terms apply: https://stadia.com/link/Tolkor_BN6F5

You do not need a Chromecast to use the controller with a tablet or phone.

Each month you get 2-3 games for 'free' as long as your are subscribed to the service ($9.99/month). Pro also offers extra discounts and the ability to play (aka stream) your games in 4k resolution. For non-subscribers that's limited to 1080p.
At least that's my understanding. I don't subscribe but bought the Cyberpunk deal and got Crew2 for ~$3 and overall the experience has been great.
Form your own opinion. I'm not a shill and have no stake in Google or Stadia - I did convert from a skeptic to a fan though. Costs nothing to try so decide for yourself if it's spotty or laggy.
My only criticism is the game selection still needs time to grow.
