I personally feel like stadia was a self-fulfilling prophecy. It shut down because people didn't use it, and they didn't use it because they were afraid of it shutting down like Google always does with stuff
But Google has earned that rep. And they aren't saying or doing much to change it.
Minimal vision, weak execution, MVP agile approach with strong emphasis on the "Minimally,* and no heart, soul, grit.
I know they're a business, but sometimes, I think, if they could just be okay losing money for longer, they'd turn some of the projects into something good.
I really don't like Zuck, but he's willing to lose billions a year on things he believes in. Google doesn't do that (much) now. AI and quantum computing are the only things that spring to mind.
They should've just made a public legally binding promise to run the service for at least 15 years or all purchased games and hardware will be refunded.
