Stadia will be shutting down in the new year. In some ways, the move isn't much of a surprise, as my colleagues have pointed out, there's been doubt about whether GOOGLE was in it for the long haul with Stadia.
You would be forgiven for not knowing what the company was saying about the service. There is a wonderful future for Stadia, despite rumors that it was about to go bust, and that players should keep using it. Now that Stadia is being shut down, let's take a look at the times when it wasn't possible.
Jade Raymond, who was the head of Stadia at the time, said that it could take several years to come up with a huge game. She promised that it wouldn't be four years before they got to see the new content. Every year there will be more and more of them.
It would be a long-term commitment for the company to get cloud gaming off the ground. Raymond left the company just over a year later when Stadia was shut down.
Other studios believed that the company was going to be around for a long time. Gwen Frey told GamesIndustry.biz in November that she didn't think they wanted to have a strong launch. I understand that they want to scale slowly.
He talked about how other in the industry were worried about Stadia leaving. She said that the biggest complaint with Stadia was the fear that it would be canceled. She said that she had to be willing to make bold moves in order to work in tech. "It's not like they don't make anything anymore."
Jack Buser, the former director of games at Stadia, told MobileSyrup that there were 400 games in development from 200 developers. When talking about how the company was planning its release schedule, he said, "we're thinking about 2022. that's our focus." It is kind of where we want to go in the future.
He said that the company was looking many years out into the future, and that it was "unequivocally" in it. Take a few minutes to read the whole interview. It is interesting but sad at the same time.
It seemed like Stadia was going to be a white-label service for companies rather than a cloud gaming service when it was announced.
The company remained committed to Stadia as a platform. Stadia general manager Phil Harrison wrote that the best way to build the business was to shut it down.
The cut from sales on games launched on Stadia was adjusted in order to attract developers. There won't be a single game launching on the service in the years to come.
After Stadia lost games industry veteran Jade Raymond, another experienced executive was apparently moved off the project. Jack Buser was the Director for Games at Stadia.
The company said that Jack's new role would allow them to better bring customers the best of Google across their services.
It was less expensive to join Stadia when it was two years old. Although it didn't have a plan for Stadia's future, it was eager to continue working on bringing the best games and new features to the community. It promised to expand the types of games that were on the service.
While we won't be commenting on any rumors or speculation regarding other industry partners, we are still focused on the task at hand We expect to add more than 100 games to the platform this year and have 50 games available to claim in Stadia Pro.
The Stadia team is working really hard on a great future for Stadia and cloud gaming, and will have more feature goodness coming to Stadia as well.
Several new features for Stadia were announced at the developer summit. The feature was called "click-to-play trials." It was basically demos. The company said it would be coming to all Stadia titles in the years to come.
January 2023 is technically past the year 2022.
There was a rumor that Stadia was going to be shut down by the end of summer, but a spokesman for the company said that was not true. He said, "Emphasis his.." We were told to expect more news from Stadia in the near future.
Fans were reassured that Stadia is not shutting down after the Stadia account made fun of the Killed By Google account.
There is a new game coming to Stadia. I don't think that's true.
