Posted September 29, 2022 Summary Googles streaming platform stadia has finally streamed its last stream, or at least it will mid January next year. Phil Harrison announced in a blog post that Stadia will be winding down over the next few months and issuing refunds for " all Stadia hardware purchases made through the Google Store, and all game and add-on content purchases made through the Stadia store." A relatively consumer friendly way to deny them access to things they bought, especially compared to alternatives. As noted by Paul Tassi of Forbes it is unclear if in-game purchases that go across platform (such as premium currency for destiny 2) will be refunded. Quotes Quote "We will be refunding all Stadia hardware purchases made through the Google Store, and all game and add-on content purchases made through the Stadia store." -Phil Harrison "The underlying technology platform that powers Stadia has been proven at scale and transcends gaming. We see clear opportunities to apply this technology across other parts of Google like YouTube, Google Play, and our Augmented Reality (AR) efforts — as well as make it available to our industry partners, which aligns with where we see the future of gaming headed" -Phil Harrison My thoughts Guess they saw the market for stadia wasn't so bright with their negative latency. Going to be sad to see that R6 siege no longer has crossplay on PC.
