A message about Stadia and our long term streaming strategy

Killed by Google

Amazon publicly stated that they ran their <i>own</i> business on AWS, and however much of an exaggeration that might have been, it gave people the confidence to try it out. The reasoning was clear: if AWS handles Amazon-scale business, they can surely handle my smaller workload. Google is starting with a handicap, in that they have a very strong reputation for killing products that don't meet unknown high standard of performance/revenue. I mean, the term "Google Graveyard" is popular, although I prefer Killed By Google[0]. To counter that handicap for GCP, they need something that stands out as much as Amazon's initial claim, and I haven't seen it. It seems clear that Google isn't running their own infrastructure on GCP. If anything, the hope seems to be that they've spent <i>so much</i> money on GCP, <i>surely</i> they wouldn't shut it down after all of that? But of course, the bright sparks at Google are aware of the Sunk Cost Fallacy as well as anyone else, so... yeah. I have trouble trusting it. 0. https://killedbygoogle.com.

When will Google kill Stadia?

Great question! Two people actually guessed correctly (not posting their names for privacy), but the average date across for all users (October 6, 2022) was surprisingly close to the date they announced it would be shutting down. https://whenwillgooglekillstadia.com.

Torque (video game)

Even Steam revokes paid for content, which I think is the issue being discussed. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1148174213.
