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

Outside of showing ads, Google is an everything hobbyist.

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

And I'm still sad to this day about this.

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.
