if you actually did your research instead of listening to the rumor mill spouted out by "journalists" google themselves have stated they are NOT closing down.

3 players that were using it for ESO will be disappointed.

Cope, but they're shutting it down and refunding purchases.

So... which side of this fight is the rumor, and which is fact?

Please show your research indicating it is not shutting down.

The GameSpot article I linked was published today.

It even had a link to the blog in it.

Although I will tag also @ZOS_Kevin as I'm sure it can create problem with accounts through stadia or partial purchases through stadia, especially stadia family share.

(now i have to keep an eye on CDProject Red for CP2077)

Rumor? But it's been published by Google:

So they’re gonna revert all those horrible LoS server side changes that totally borked targeting?

Living_Tribunal · September 2022

Bummer, I use it to play ESO on my phone while work...err...I mean while on lunch.

You should try the steam link app. Even if you don't have ESO on steam, you can just add the game exe to steam then the steam link app on your phone can let you connect to your computer and run ESO. Works about as well, or badly depending on your connection, as stadia.

Where did Google say they weren't shutting it down? Kind of weird for them to do a total 180 so quickly, considering they announced it today on their blog. I'd like to see your source, given your claim. This was a couple months ago you were thinking, correct? Might be fun to dunk on that statement if it was on social media lol

ding-*** the wicked platforms dead!

not surprising tbh, google has a bad habit of introducing products, and then pulling the plug.
however stadia was dead in the water as soon as google closed their own gaming studios imo

Elsonso · September 2022

Debate over information sources aside

this was rather expected. Google seems to have a short attention span and one never knows whether the new shiny is going to be around in a couple years. I liked Stadia for playing games while on vacation in my hotel room on my tablet.

Dr_Con · September 2022

what's with the stadia hate?

i already addressed this stop saying this i just learned of it being posted about 35mins before my reply

joergino · September 2022

Heh, yet ESO is on discount on a platform that doesn't allow any more purchases at all, at least according to Google.
