No, the fake news is Google having any plans to make anything out of Stadia. They don't just decide the night before to shut a project down. Google has a long history of leaving projects to fallow for months to years before finally admitting to everyone that they hadn't been putting resources in and are finally shutting the project down. It's insidious because, if you don't know the playbook, you might think you can count on the service to stick around. Look at everything VR they did: some great products that sat around for a full year before Google finally admitted they weren't doing anything more with it. I fully expect Google has plans already to shut down Stadia, but haven't told anyone yet because... I don't know why. Why do they ever just let this shit go on forever? Sims kind of face-saving or senior-engineer-retention program.
