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.
I give it a few months after it launches.
Yep. They'll just collect as much new data as possible and then shut it down.
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
I don't trust Google with anything. It has worked out so far.
Ya know, I used to be a pixel fanboy. I've had every mainstream pixel from 1 to 7. After a botched RMA for a dead display, the fingerprint reader is now disabled. I've been ghosted by support about the new display so now I've switched over to Samsung.
I'm a former Apple employee and have had enough of their shit. Everyone at the office was drowning in the kool-aid. I'm done with iOS 🤣
Ad Watching Simulator 2030â„¢ will be the top one with a 69.99 a week battle pass.
Someone could probably make money by just making a platform where you show people ads, and there's a leaderboard ranking for how many ads you watch.
That sounds like a good description of half the mobile games.
Yeah, but there's at least a facade of game in there somewhere. Like how the 2K NBA games are slot machines with inconvenient basketball minigames attached.
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: ….
Will this be stadia 2.0 or a new game studio?
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.
why? They already know they will be killing the project, why bother?
Nobody is going to "oh let me open youtube to play some crappy idle clicker clone"
Why? So whoever launched the project can get a raise and/or bonus. I doubt the people launching this actually thinks it's a long term direction for YouTube, it's just a thing that they got approved that they can launch.
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.
People forget that YouTube already had gaming in the form of a snake game you could play while your video buffered. As with all Google gaming products that too was killed.
Micro transactions galore
Ads too 😉
