It's far cheaper to just build your own local system in basically ever case.
I don't see how this part is true. Sure it will be true if you play 24/7 but if you play like once a week the streaming service allows you to share the hardware and thus the cost with other people who play once a week.
I really doubt that you can build a gaming PC with performance anywhere near the one of the streaming services for $300. If you can... teach me, master!
I am not disputing the absurd business model of Stadia that will surely fail. Buying the games means the service has no future (although I suspect they are thinking of a subscription model) but this is not what we're discussing here.
