  I actually loved Google Stadia but what brought about it's demise? Google Stadia was a cloud gaming service that promised to revolutionize the gaming industry by allowing players to stream games on any device without the need for expensive hardware. However, after a disappointing launch and a series of setbacks, Google announced in February 2022 that it would shut down its internal game development studios and focus on providing its technology to other publishers and developers.
