Quick Google Stadia recap: Things have not been great.

Google’s AAA cloud gaming service launched in 2019 to middling reviews and since then has severely undershot Google’s sales and usage estimates by hundreds of thousands of users. The company shut down its first-party studio, ” Stadia Games & Entertainment (SG& E), ” before it could ever develop a game, and it did so one week after lead executive Phil Harrison gave the division a positive progress report.
