Google forgot why they were there at the gate, and started making yet another messaging platform

Yeah, I'd be worried about Apple if they ever got serious about gaming other than mobile games. Netflix and Amazon are medium concerns, though there's a good chance they'd go for mobile games for any sort of gaming push. Google just lost any trust they ever might've had with game developers by killing off Stadia.

Yeah, the mess Google made of Stadia pretty much guarantees that, even if they try to get into the games industry again, nobody will have any trust or goodwill towards them.
