Yeah, and Google Stadia had great new games coming and they were totally committed to it until woops, never mind, it's dead.

Google has a hell of a credibility problem at this point.

People were literally still working on stadia as they announced its cancellation.

Google didn't even tell all of the stadia team that stadia was being cancelled. Or devs that were working on Stadia games, even ones they had close exclusivity deals with.

Google also laid off thousands of people. Yeah, that product is gone.

At this point any Google product comes with the unstated assumption that it could be considered a prototype or an experiment up for cancellation at any moment.

I called that one dead in 2 years right from the start, and I might have been out by a year.
