Google Stadia
Google first announced it was putting an end to Stadia back in September of 2022, but it took them months before the company officially pulled the plug this January. Google allowed customers to unlock their controllers for use on other devices, which is a nice break considering how long and fraught the breakup process ended up being. Considering how much Microsoft is betting on Game Pass, time will tell if Google’s decision to end its cloud streaming service was a missed opportunity or a bullet dodged.
