Google pulls the plug on Stadia gaming service

Google on Wednesday (January 18) formally shut the company’s gaming service Stadia. This comes as no surprise, as the search engine has pulled several similar services and apps over the last decade, but what struck me the most is that Stadia had a lot of potential to earn billions of revenue for Google.

The gaming industry is dominated by a handful including Nintendo, Sony(Sony), Microsoft(Xbox), Tencent, Activision Blizzard and there was a lot of scope for new players to bring more choices to the gamers, but looks like Google just didn’t have the fire in its belly make things work.
