Never used Stadia, but use XCloud since December and played through 11 games (including WoLong last week) through it. XCloud works great for me and I dont have to install shit and use a ton of energy to play games. Even 1000/1000 HiFi Rush without any problems.

Is it streaming the game back and forth constantly using more energy than downloading it once? I mean I'm actually asking. I don't know how those things rate up. It just seems to me that a 1 hour of downloading versus say 20 hours of streaming the game over a server...

Not sure and I don't really care tbh but afair bandwith was not a lot for a hour of Xcloud gaming, but could be that I am wrong. In my case I am talking about power consumption of my devices. Playing games on my PC takes a lot lot more energy than just streaming them through the app. As a German that saves me a lot of money.
