https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20220207/07181748430/google-stadias-failure-is-almost-complete.shtml > While Google's Stadia game streaming service arrived with a lot of promise, it generally landed with a disappointing thud. A limited catalog, deployment issues, and a quality that couldn't match current gen game consoles meant the service just never saw the kind of traction Google (or a lot of other people) originally envisioned. In the years since, developers have been consistently abandoning the platform, and Google has consistently sidelined the service, even shutting down its own development efforts as a parade of executives headed for the exists. > Now, Google is basically just selling the technology off to other companies eager to give video game streaming a go and succeed where Google couldn't.
