@mcnichoj: Cause it's Google that why man, it sucks, Google shifted a ton of employers to other departments. A few actually left to form new studios when studios got shut down. Yeah it sucks for the 100,000 of people who played. At the end of the day it's still a business and has to make a profit, sadly stadia didn't turn the profit Google would of liked, so it just another stone in the graveyard of the 100+ killed of services by google. There the ones that have the rep of killing projects that don't pan out as well as rappitly generating mass ideas, only so many can stick. Stadia just wasn't one of them. They had a buggy start with missing and promised features. If they delivered what they originally planned, maybe they still be around. The tech is not dead for sure and will be used elsewhere, as for the service it's dead and gone
@mcnichoj: why are you making this into a war dude. Ms doesn't publish there xcloud numbers, it's still in beta. Stedia wasn't, it's still a feature and not the full product. Streaming games right now really isn't that popular, like if you look at 100,000 is small man. Xbox does have 25 million subscribers and ps 46 ism million. Should do your research fully before you troll man. Now sit down
@mcnichoj: Google successful?, LOL. MS has the option to download games not just stream them. That why they are the better option. Where as google through all their eggs in one basket MS didn't. That why Gamepass has been so successful, it not due to xcloud at all, it's Gamepass. Everyone knew Stedia was not going to last, the tech is solid for sure and I don't even had one friend who used it. The masses may not want it, if you look at the trends disc > Digital > Streaming,. It's only a matter of time before the masses get it as their sole option. Maybe not next gen, but the following gen 15-20 years from now, The infrastructure isn't quite there yet yet will be.
Shame, we need more than just Battlefeild games. "DICE deserves to be a powerhouse for FPS" pull your head out of your rear guys, this is why games suffer. Lost all respect for them.
