Gamers have been divided between console computers for a long time. But now there is a third option. We don’t need special consoles to play AAA quality games comfortably on all devices. We can use cloud gaming services instead. However, the Stadia service offered by Google, which is among the most popular, may be unexpectedly shutting down.
Is Google Stadia shutting down? What about users?
According to leaks emerging today, the Google Stadia cloud gaming service may be shutting down. In fact, we may see that a step has been taken towards a temporary suspension with an official statement to be made by the company towards the end of this year, allegedly.
The biggest reason behind this decision is that it did not receive the expected attention on the part of the user. This service made a big splash when it first came out. In fact, tens of thousands of people who wanted to experience bought their subscriptions from the first day.
However, after 3 years, the company did not reach the expected level. Of course, the presence of strong rival platforms such as NVIDIA’s GeForce Now was also a factor in this. Because when a large slice of a not-so-great pie is lost, the remaining share may not cover the service and development costs.
In this case, if the service has not been able to pay for itself within 3 years, pressure may have come from the company management not to spend more money. Because in such cases, what the board of directors says happens. For example, Steve Jobs was forced to leave Apple for a while due to a similar situation, but was later brought back when things did not go well.
Of course, there were some rumors a few days ago that Stadia could be sold. But according to insider leaks, Google has no intention of selling it. Instead, it intends to make a second entry by securing its business in the background until the market grows a little more. However, he may change his mind until this year is over.
If the platform is to be shut down, it must notify all its subscribers 1 to 2 months ago. Therefore, we do not need to wait for the day it will be closed for the leak to become official. Because it will be announced much earlier.
