Google is shutting down Stadia after the streaming service struggled to make a meaningful impact on the gaming industry.
Everyone knew it would happen almost as soon as it was announced, and now it’s been confirmed: Google is ending streaming serviceIt used to be that games companies lived in fear of what would happen if a giant corporation suddenly decided to get involved in gaming, but with the exception of Microsoft it usually ends up as a complete disaster., amongst a fanfare of publicity and talk of features that never materialised.
The good news is that Stadia is promising to refund all hardware purchases through the Google Store, as well as all games and DLC content. If that seems unexpectedly generous the reason is obvious: once the service is shut down then all the games you’ve paid for will be completely inaccessible. That access will continue only until January 18, 2023 after which the entire service will be shuttered.
