When Google launched Stadia, most of the tech people thought it is like testing, and they will kill this project in the future. But, Google making more significant steps towards the Cloud gaming project. First of all, they opened an exclusive separate studio for Stadia Games. Google hired Sony’s Santa Monica Studio head, Shannon Studstill- is a former Head of the Award-winning Game team- God of War (2018). Hiring Shannon Studstill is a big move from Google to give hope to other game developers. Because Most of the Game developing companies are in double mind to support Stadia or not, and they worry about the Stadia future. But, this kind of step gives hope to those companies, and I assume they are trying to tell in a hidden way that Stadia is a Long term project.
I know Stadia is not that much good in most of the places. But, It is starting from the Google Side. Also, Google Doesn’t target Regular Gamers. They want to attract a general audience. When you are a Gamer, Most of them prefer PC type, and they know what they want. So, Like Stream services, Google wants the general audience to be a part of Stadia. It makes sense. Assume, You have free time; all you want is 1 hour of Gaming in your free time. Stadia can help you here with less cost. They keep adding new mobiles on the Stadia supporting list.
