Far as I know he still works for Sony Santa Monica though.
He did not left
Not shitty ones. Google does chat still. They just kill the failures. They haven't left that space.By what metric? Social networks are big business, as are chat apps.
I wonder if any of these studios will be making any single-player games, or if they're gonna be like Amazon Game Studios and focus only on multi-player experiences.
That's optimistic.
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.
I was just thinking the exact same thing.I have a strong feeling we'll never see any of the projects they might start up because Stadia will die before they're done. They should have done this BEFORE launching the platform.

Yup, very plausible candidatesthat's pretty big news.
Wonder who will take her place at SMS. Yumi Yang? Cory? maybe Allan Becker is coming back since Doucet was named head of development at Japan Studio
Those services weren't huge initiatives. Stadia is much bigger than shitty social networks and chat apps.
Yumi for sure.that's pretty big news.

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
that's pretty big news.

Lmao
Why are they building first party studios now? They should have done this years ago if they wanted new IPs near launch.
Seriously Google.
Thats why i said at least.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
YTers tomorrow
Sigh, another giant scooping up top talent and then years go by without anything to show for it.It does kind of look like another Amazon Game Studios situation right now. Hopefully something good comes from this though.
Woah, good luck to her. Wonder who is the head of Santa Monica Studio now
that's pretty big news.
