    I wouldn’t be surprised.

    Look at stadia, I knew it would be a rocky road for them to market it, but by also buying game studios with the intentions to make and release games, I was under the impression that they would keep going with it. They pumped so much money in to it.

    Oh boy, how wrong I was.

      I knew it was doomed when they announced the business model. Subscription + buying the games was never going to fly. If they had gone with a Game Pass style subscription, it would have had a chance.

      I never considered it because the game streaming is still pretty new and I’ve never forgiven Google for killing the news reader.
