When Google Stadia launched, the only smartphones that the game-streaming service supported were the company’s own family of Pixel devices. That changes later this week.

I just don’t understand Stadia’s roll out strategy

Why would I want to play my high end computer game on the smallest screen I can find, and especially one without adequate controls? Anyone?

I've never been able to figure this out. I could see this being used by people who travel a lot and streaming to something like a laptop or even a large tablet but overall I just don't get it, especially taking into account the cost and commitment to a single unreliable platform. At least with nVidia's service you "own" the games on platforms that will allow you to play properly (non-streaming) elsewhere.
