Huh? Wasn't that literally one of the original goals of Stadia. You'd watch someone play a game and you'd be able to launch the same game at the place where you paused the video.

Shhhh. You are supposed to have forgotten about Stadia.
Now, here’s googles brand new tech! YouTubia!
Apparently this is focusing on more simple arcade/mobile style games, although that could just be for the trial period.
I can already feel this one starting toward the Google graveyard before it's even launched.
Google did this previously with a snake game you could play...which they killed.
Finally! The YouTube feature everyone's been asking for!
Already touched by the Fate most foul.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Playables is a new technology from Google that allows you to play video games directly on YouTube.
In June, information began to circulate indicating that Google was testing a new technology on YouTube that would allow video games to be played directly in the browser or in the mobile application.
The information we have about Playables is very limited, although YouTube has shared more details about what they call “a new experience”; as they say on their official page, “Playables are games that can be played directly on YouTube both in the desktop version and on mobile devices.”
Look for a new “Playables” area on YouTube alongside material on the home feed to see if you’re a part of the gaming trial.
Of course, it seems that it will not have much to do with Stadia, the cloud gaming service closed at the beginning of the year, since the tests with employees consisted of arcade mini-games such as Stack Bounce or Brick Breaker.
Perhaps they could simply be titles chosen for the technical test, but they could also be the type of games that one would want to offer on Playables.
