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: ….
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.
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.
Micro transactions galore
Ads too 😉
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.
