Google Stadia.

They had built a solid streaming platform for low latency cloud gaming but failed hard on actually having interesting games to play on it. You just can't launch a gaming platform with a handful of games that have been available everywhere and expect it to succeed.

+1 I really loved Stadia

I had a good connection and sometimes I forgot I was streaming a game.

At least the died gracefully, I played for free and also got a chromecast + controller out of the deal
