You can only log in with Discord or GitHub account. That’s an instant dealbreaker.
And secondarily, it uses Nvidia GPU.
The service is not ready yet. Login is simply a way to sign up for the waitlist. Auth through social media tries to cut down bots and even if you login it has read only access to your email address and nothing else.
Also it’s a single dev who spent few years making it work on nvidia. At this point in time it’s too early to be dismissive about projects roadmap.
It will probably outlast Stadia’s duration
I hope this doesn’t end up abusing family sharing (it’s been just a few months since it became actually useful) to the point Valve nerfs it back to what it was.
I haven’t really been keeping track of it for a few years, what’s changed that made it better recently?

TL;DR: Simultaneous library sharing. Before, only one user could use a library at a time. Now, up to 6 users can simultaneously play any game from the same library.
This is what Netris is touting users to exploit when they say:
Steam Library Sharing
Grant access to your Steam library, so everyone on your team can join in on the fun without additional purchases.
A “Team”, lol wut?
Now, up to 6 users can simultaneously play any game from the same library.
Not correct. You can only have as many users playing the same game as you have licenses.
If your family library has multiple copies of a game, multiple members of the family can play that game at the same time
Oh, this is going to be fun! Google, AWS, or some other cloud provider will turn this into a hosted service, create a bunch of tickets for the opensource project and never contribute everything back, piss off Valve in the process, and somebody will get hurt.
