Who wanted Stadia to succeed like I did. Why did they give up on there studios. I really wanted to see something amazing. Maybe they could have created a call of duty killer game or the next We will never know. So my
is why google y have you giving up so quickly. I understand you want partners to bring their games but look at Nintendo their greatest games come from themselves.
With only 150 developers you can't compete with other big gaming companies. Google chooses to do what they are best at... But new, big and good games are still a problem on Stadia... I'm having fun with Far Cry 5, but that's an old game... Red dead redemption was great! But a lot of other small games are fun for a few hours, but not for a long time. The library and search function need an update. And it all goes so slowly.
I don't see it as giving up, I see it as a shift in focus. Development takes alot of money and alot of man power. By saving money there is an opportunity to get developers to bring the AAA games like COD, Battlefield etc to the platform.
Also during a pandemic that has caused delays and issues, maybe at the moment they see getting 3rd party games as the better solution then re open studios down the line when things are more stable.
I don't see an issue with them stopping with exclusives. They can always come back once there fan base increases. Stadia has a waay better platform as far as stability and performance in comparison to xcloud. In my opinion Stadia Needs third-party games to understand the gaming community. If they had Apex a game that I actually play "Daily" then like myself I would be on Stadia More than I am on my actual PC. Xcloud is only fan favorites due to the amount of games. But performance quality Trash
