In a news about Google last week, it was claimed that the company will close the Stadia game service at the end of this year. In an official announcement made the other day on the Stadia Twitter account, “Stadia is not shutting down. On the contrary, we are planning to bring more and more comprehensive games to this platform and Stadia Pro,” it said, and this claim was denied.
Some Stadia fans were convinced that Google would eventually pull the plug on the service after Cody Ogden, owner of Killed by Google, a Twitter account and blog that tracks the company’s ever-expanding graveyard of obsolete apps, posted a post to a Facebook fan group. According to the message, a “former colleague” told Ogden that Google had recently held a meeting to discuss Stadia’s future or lack thereof. At the meeting, it was discussed that the company will eventually close the platform. It is stated that this shutdown will be done using the same strategy applied with Google Play Music. At least that was the claim.
When the allegations were denied, Ogden said, “Communities that are confident that they will continue to exist do not react like some of the messages that have been sent to me publicly and privately in the last few days,” he said. If it’s getting worse, maybe you need to reconsider your relationship with technology…”
