Man, I really miss Stadia. I used it for a year and it worked flawlessly. Even still have the app on my phone as I couldn't bring myself to uninstall it.

Can't speak for the quality of Stadia and I am not in the target audience, but I thought it was crazy that people were willing to trust Google that they wouldn't shut down the service if they didn't immediately get 10 quadrillion subscribers.

I vividly remember some senior Google exec. getting all defensive on twitter about the jokes about Google shutting down new projects and implying that this wouldn't be the case with Stadia.

Sure thing, bro!

At this point it's a self fulfilling prophecy, no one expects Google products to last so they don't use them and because no one uses them they don't last. Which sucks because the products themselves are usually pretty solid.

I'm in the same boat, I will carry the stadia app over to every phone I get just out of principle. Stadia came in handy for me when all I had was my phone and my work computer at the time (which was a surface tablet), so it holds a special place in my heart. Though I'll admit it was not the /greatest/ service.
