Google Stadia Shuts Down But Developers Weren't Given Warning

Google announced Stadia is shutting down despite receiving a new UI update and having games on its release calendar. While that won’t surprise gaming enthusiasts, it did shock developers that had games slated to launch on the platform.

This was doomed from day one. Not least because it's Google. Their track record is terrible with new ventures.

Disgusting way to treat hard-working people too.

blackbeld1000d ago (Edited 1000d ago )

Yeah, really unbelievable. At least let them know 3 months warning before announcing the shutdown.

Dont need another streaming walled garden. No thanks.

Ouya and Dreamcast said : welcome to console Shadow Realm where Consoles comes to die.

purple1011000d ago

Dreamcast was too good, for its own good. The memory card, at the time was being sold for £19.99 in the UK..when Sony's ps2 memory card was also the same price but Dreamcast had a small second screen, & could be used independently as a tamagochi which were big at the time.

Also had soul calibur . Which is my all-time favourite game. And not many people say that about beam-em' ups

Yui_Suzumiya1000d ago

Like purple said, Dreamcast was just ahead of it's time. If it came out now then I think things would've turned out completely different.

Aren't stadia games just pc games via cloud? Is it really that big of a deal to the devs? I admit my ignorance about stadia.

Vits1000d ago

That would be Amazon Luna.

Stadia runs on a custom version of Linux, so the games are more or less developed for it exclusively. The closest application that those builds have now is to be ported to traditional Linux distros, however, there is a minimal monetary incentive for that as Proton is already taking the market on that side reducing the need for native versions.

mkis0071000d ago

That seems stupid to do for no reason. What were the benefits of this custom linux ?

Vits1000d ago

Well, basically it would give them a console-esque tool set. Games could be better optimized to be streamed and even use exclusive features that a console or PC would not have access to. The classic example is on-demand processing power scalability.

However, to my knowledge, no game actually took advantage of that tool set. Especially because Google closed their first party studio very early into Stadia's life.

M3talDiamond1000d ago

I just noticed that the Stadia youtube channel have removed all of their videos

Stadia should focus on retro games.

Profchaos999d ago

Why? realistically retro games can run on minimal hardware. My phone can play PS3 games at full frame rates these days and can store enough iso files to keep me happy.

Profchaos998d ago

Phone can play ps2 sorry

It’s definitely an upgrade, not sure about massive.

Grilla5h ago

It is massive compared to the switch 1. 6-10X the power, but compared to current standards it’s the bare minimum.

RedDevils4h ago

It's just a minor upgrade nothing special. Could have included the Oled screen but greedy Nintendo have something planned for it already.

Yesyes4h ago

Oled screen means nothing when people have OLED tv's.

Rage773h ago

You are self aware of how dumb and "sheepy" that tagline of "greedy" sounds like at this point in time, right?
Every little entitled twat on the internet has used it ad nauseum, as if all of a sudden you somehow struck gold or something. it ALMOST sounds as infantile as the other meme vomit brain rot: "Defending the billion dollar company, blah, blah" FFS. tell me its "irony" at least what you are trying to express, so at least i can give you some credit for being "clever" or bold. I refuse to believe you ACTUALLY believe what you are saying, unironically,

repsahj4h ago

Great review! We have almost the same impression of the Switch 2. I don't care if the screen isn't OLED, because when I put it next to my friend's Steam OLED screen, they barely deviated in quality.

anast4h ago

Better than the Steam Deck not as good as the other consoles on the market.

As someone who has been gaming nearly as long as gaming has been around (since the early 70's), you'd think I'd be against this. Having grown up with all the major platforms and the whole notion of physical ownership... but I'm not. i embrace this as it is a revolutionary convenience. And one i know for a fact many (especially here) have not even given the fair chance to use. I get it... i was there too. But now i have a new outlook on it. It really is a hell of an option if you just want to play with no commitments. By no means am i saying this should replace traditional gaming, its an option. And one that people should look at optimistically as a way to compliment traditional gaming. There is room for both to thrive.
