You are either very confident about what you are planning for Stadia in terms of resources and games or you are not sure what to do right with Stadia
How do you launch a new Chromecast with Android TV (now Google TV) and you don’t support Stadia after so long
I can't understand how Google leaves it !!
I hope that STADIA is not being developed by a small group of interns.
I know that a Streaming Service is much more complex to be developed than a console itself, I know all the plans you have (at least the ones announced) that can really change the game industry, but I just don't expect to be sure about the interns!

@Henrique Stadia is not being developed by a small team of interns. Google has invested significant resources into Stadia and by all appearances remains very committed to the platform's success. 

Google has however struggled a bit with hardware releases this year - Pixel Buds delayed and buggy at launch, Pixel 4a delayed, etc. Enabling Stadia on the new Chromecast w/ Google TV requires significant cooperation between a few different teams (hardware, cast, Stadia, etc.) and that sort of coordination takes time - particularly when the entire company is working-from-home indefinitely. 

My guess is that they weren't yet able to get things working as smoothly as they wanted, so they had to choose between delaying the hardware launch, launching with broken Stadia support, or launching with solid hardware and enabling Stadia at a later time. Google loves to ship hardware and then improve it with software updates, so that seems to be the option they chose. 

I received my CCwGTV (what a name!) over the weekend and have been really enjoying it. I'm glad that I didn't have to wait until sometime next year to ditch the buggy apps embedded on my Samsung "smart" TV.

In a Google point of view your sentences make sense but in a Stadia gamer (embassador of this service) point of view looks like Stadia is only one proyect more of the big G with a big % of failure and with so many chances to put aside of other mayor proyects of the big G.
