We already have a dedicated key on the keyboard for that, a trackpad gesture, and keyboard shortcuts. Why would I want yet another way […]

Remember Stadia? I still do with a tinge of sadness each time it comes up. Sure, it’s tough to build a new platform, create a successful game studio, and simultaneously upend an entire industry, but I think Google should have stuck with it far longer than they did.
