I think that this is going to further the reputation damage for trusting Google with anything.<p>The fact that this was handled on such short notice is a huge problem, but who is going to want to invest in another Google technology with such a risk?<p>See also, trusting Microsoft with a new UI technology and how their reputation in this area is really bad.
Why, in fact, did Google shutter Stadia? Does Google just shut down things that aren't absolutely huge for them? If so, does that mean they thought Stadia would be huge for them, but were wrong? I don't get how HugeCos think, can someone enlighten me?
