    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.

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

    Same employee: wait…what?

    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.

    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

      This. Stadia was one of the last example, they’ll kill this new service too after a few years, it’s not worth to even consider using.

        Stadia was likely killed by Google’s own reputation for killing products.

        After all, who wants to spend money on a library full of games you won’t be able to play next year? It’s a self fulfilling prophecy.

        Then refunding all the software and hardware was a surprising turn of events.
