    Can we stop picking on this startup? They’re just hardware hobbyists, give them a break.

        Well they’re certainly not a video game streaming hobbyist.

            Me too, imagine what the very talented people behind the platform could have actually made if managers hadn’t wasted their potential on this boneheaded cheap money grab.

            Yeah… Stadia was actually good. I wish they’d just come out and make a promise that if they shut the service down in the next 10 years they’d refund everyone’s purchases.

            That’s what they ended up doing anyways, but having a guarantee might have gotten it to the critical mass that it needed.

      You joke, but Google does not take hardware as seriously as they should. I say this as an owner of a Pixel 7. I actually really like the hardware, but the simplicity and clean look of the software is why I actually love the phone. I have to baby the phone because I know Google doesn’t actually care even if they swear up and down they do.

        Google does not take anything as seriously as they should.
