Terraria Stadia Port Canceled After Google Locks Out Developer

After being locked out of his Google account with no warning and no follow-up, Terraria developer Andrew Spinks announced the cancellation of the 2D sandbox game's Stadia port on his personal Twitter. In a thread, Spinks described his three week-long lockout from services associated with his account, such as Google Play, YouTube, and Gmail, firmly maintaining that he "absolutely hasn't done anything to violate [the] terms of service," and considered the "bridge burned" with Google.

"My company will no longer support any of your platforms moving forward," Spinks concluded. "I will not be involved with a corporation that values their customers and partners so little. Doing business with you is a liability."

Spinks' declaration comes on the heels of prior issues with YouTube, which is owned by Google. In January, the official Terraria account tagged YouTube on Twitter and asked for help regarding Terraria's disabled official YouTube account. In a follow-up response to the situation, the Terraria team expressed their disappointment over the continuing lack of help in getting their YouTube account back up.

In his Terraria review for GameSpot, Tom Mc Shea rated it 9/10. He praised the game for its "empowering sense of discovery" and its ability to "continually excite your imagination with the endless secrets that await."

Terraria is available on Android, iOS, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One.
