    After the stadia debacle, I doubt anybody trusts Google with gaming. It’s only been six months lol

    They truly deserve all the clowning they’re going to get for this

    Honestly? Google has been killing every project it started, so even if this happens, I guess it won’t last long anyway

      Yep. They’ll just collect as much new data as possible and then shut it down.

    Google shuts down streaming gaming service

    CEO: We need a new idea guys. What do you have?

    Employee who forgot there was a meeting today: uh how about a streaming gaming service?

    Ceo: my god why haven’t we done that before? Get on it.

    Same employee: wait…what?

    Ceo: what?

    Employee: ….

    Will this be stadia 2.0 or a new game studio?

    Google, that company famous for creating new technologies and supporting them for long periods of time. Definitely something I am interested in becoming an early adopter for.

    why? They already know they will be killing the project, why bother?

    Nobody is going to “oh let me open youtube to play some crappy idle clicker clone”

    Yeah, okay Google. I’m still not over the death of Stadia (even though I expected it), it was really cool as a concept / idea but also not one that was ever likely to work for a company that wasn’t the scale of Google (or one of the big tech companies) sadly.

    And of course, since it was a Google product, it got axed.
