I usually try not to cheer for something to fail, and if people like streaming games then more power to them. But games developed exclusively for Stadia are deemed to be lost in time once Google kills it. And Google will kill Stadia someday.
Not shitty ones. Google does chat still. They just kill the failures. They haven't left that space.
Basically while google does kill projects they stay in verticals.
Probably MP games. It folds perfectly in with the interconnected ethos of Stadia (sharing, online play, etc) and can be monetized as well.
People keep assuming Google is going the traditional route with this system... they are not. Jade recently mentioned its gonna be 4-5 years for their new studios to get exclusive stuff out. I think Google is 100% fine building it up on the backs of technology for the better part of a decade. They are clearly investing and while they have bungled the messaging big time I honestly think in a few years Stadia will have a good rep. The tech is amazing.. but this is gonna be a slow burn like we have never seen in the gaming industry.
Yeah.
I'm not exactly in the know of how they work but it would seem that they don't have any issues with people working from home.
There's such an interesting dichotomy between the demand for info from companies regarding new games and the info companies are most willing to share. I'd imagine that ppl interested in Stadia would like to know a lot more about planned releases this spring/summer. Ppl want to hear about games/features/services, not staffing decisions that may lead to a game in 3-5 years.
In fact, this is the exact type of story that was reported on regarding Stadia (before we knew what it was called) for years. "Google is hiring so many ppl, lookout for them to make a splash!" It's the reason why ppl feel let down right now.

By investing in Stadia they are also investing In their cloud computing biz, which is growing nicely as well.
Problem is that Stadia will just fall by the way side of stuff like xCloud which will be faaaaar more appealing to people.
Not to mention Google, per devs, have been giving devs really worthless incentives for them to support it.
Sorry if this has been posted but lead combat designer of God of War also left but for InExile.

LMAO at the idea that Stadia is somehow a bigger initiative to Google than Google+ was.
Google+ was their direct response to their largest competitor in their primary business (advertising) and there was enormous pressure for virtually every team at Google to integrate Google+ features or connectivity into their product. Stadia is a side hustle in comparison. Or not even that. A hobby.
This board needs some serious perspective sometimes.
Why are they building first party studios now? They should have done this years ago if they wanted new IPs near launch.
Seriously Google.
Seriously Google.
Google should have started developing games 3 years ago. Why aren't they buying some big exclusive games? The have enough money.
never even knew that she left... I think for me at least that is the real news here
who replaced her?
well congrats and best of luck to her future

that's way too optimistic for a new IP from a brand new studio, unless the game is much smaller scale that what people may expect from a studio led by former head of ssm
There has to be some element of "Oh snap, we should really get our console out now before the PS5/XSX" right? Like, I'm not sure why they needed to launch in the state they did.
Lol that's too late Google.
You can't release a platform with games 3-4 years away
He didn't left, but I think he's working on a new IP and not GOW 2.

Sigh, another giant scooping up top talent and then years go by without anything to show for it.
Hope this new studio is pretty exited to work and create a game for at least 3 years, putting their lifeblood into this project... that everyone will forget completely in 5 until it's lost forever some day.
Streaming, the future.
Streaming, the future.
I appreciate you asking, but I wish I knew.
