Why Google Stadia (streaming gaming platform) failed

Google is shutting down it’s streaming game platform, Stadia. They are refunding all purchases of both hardware and software.

Google kills products so often it is a meme and a site https://killedbygoogle.com/

What was Google Stadia?

Cloud gaming. Sign up and for $10 a month, play all the games you wanted.

You could buy a controller but it wasn’t required.

The hardware and games were housed somewhere else, and your controls were sent to the game, and the results, streamed back to you.

Does the streaming game model make sense?

Yes, the model makes sense. It is just super early.
