I remember when Stadia was being launched, one of their execs (not Phil Harrison, someone just below him) posted a very defensive message on Twitter complaining about the jokes and claiming that they are committed to Stadia.

And we saw how that worked out. I wish I had a link to that Twitter thread, it would make a great addition to my "comedy" screenshot folder.

Anyone with even a superficial knowledge of Google's product strategy (their exclusive focus on "a septillion users in year 1") and an understanding of the gaming industry (making good games and gaming platforms is very difficult, it requires creativity and just dumping billions and hiring tech executives isn't enough) could see that Stadia was almost certainly dead on arrival.
