Part of me wonders why they didn’t buy Zenimax instead of Microsoft, and make the games Stadia exclusives. Good library, Google could afford it, and it would show how powerful the platform was (since things like Doom are the high action games people usually think suck on streaming).
It’s like they built the tech, which is probably some of the best stuff out there (Stadia had less stutter for me than GeForce Now), and then they forgot to hire a few good business people to actually run the product, and then they wondered why it didn’t work. Why wasn’t it all-you-can-eat? Why didn’t they produce a single first party game from beginning to end for the release? Nothing makes a lot of sense here.
