DOA. Of course, like all Google services, this only exists to get some fresh new analytic data and will be closed dovn .04 femtoseconds after they reach the point of diminishing returns.
Google has a small advantage in that they can be cross platform with chromeos and Android. I could see them carving out a small niche among very casual gamers there if it weren't for the fact no one trusts their products to stick around.
Hey Google. Remember Stadia? That platform that allowed us to play big games on potatoes using a browser? And now are you offering us to play mobile games outside a mobile? Well, I have two words for you: FUCK YOU!!!
As if all the people on mobile games complaining about emulator users wasn't enough, now they'll complain about m&kb users too. It'd be a lot easier for them if they'd just admit there was a skill gap.
This is just going to make things worse for the five seconds that it exists.

we... we have Steam, Google. you are attempting to compete with Steam with mobile games.
it's like trying to enter a go-kart into a Nascar race and asking who wants to sponsor...

Different audience
It’s more competing with Windows Store

Fuck Alphabet. No one wants to play a game optimized for dopamine addiction and with ad breaks every 5min.

Is this to make all the games available on Google Play also playable on PC? What is even the point?
