Google forgot to warn game developers about the closure of Stadia

Google forgot to warn its partners about the closure of the servers of the Google Stadia cloud gaming service. This was reported by representatives of a number of studios on Twitter.

Although the platform has been in a comatose state for the past year, fresh projects have still been released on it.

от, одним из крупных релизов значилась многострадальная игра про пиратов Череп и кости от Ubisoft.

After the announcement of the closure of Google Stadia, a heated discussion about what happened unfolded in social networks.

So, indie developer Simon Roth said that the company did not warn him about its plans in any way. As a result, a significant part of the work he did went into the trash.

A similar situation occurred with SFB Games studio, which was going to release its Tangle Tower game on Google Stadia in the next couple of days.

Naturally, the developers were also not informed about the closure of the platform.

During the discussion of the situation, it additionally became clear that Google employees themselves learned about the closure of Stadia just a few hours before the publication of the press release.
