I genuinely thought they'd sell this to other dev shops as a way to get their games to people faster but with everything that happened last year I suppose it was time to pull the plug. Wonder what happens to all that tech they have outside the network space like the actual controller, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm someone that's really into gaming consoles too (although I'll admit I've slowed down this year) and just wouldn't even entertain getting one.

Whiskey Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I legit forgot about Stadia, saw the news and legit went to myself "Oh shit, remember that?!". Colossal failure from even before day one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted September 30, 2022 Author Subscriber Share Posted September 30, 2022 There's only one king in this space now and its Microsoft. They've gone from good business decision to better and Google really should have been a platform for devs to promote their stuff but alas they shot themselves in the foot by not being aggressive here and going after other countries with larger populations to offset the amounts they lost. I wonder what they'll build next which will be just as bad as this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
