Google believes working with developers and publishers to bring third-party games to the platform is the "best path to building Stadia into a long-term, sustainable business."
Google shuts down its internal Stadia game studios. Stadia service continues and will still see more third-party games, but focus is now on partnering with other companies. Jade Raymond out. https://t.co/DcQKG7VFGm

I'm sorry to hear about Stadia's shift. The NVIDIA hyperscale graphics systems research team at is still looking for published senior researchers with distributed systems expertise and welcomes Stadia veterans! Email/DM me.https://t.co/it5X61bVFX

Oh man, that thing happened we all said would happen for the exact reasons we said it would happen which has happened before to other companies for the same reasons...

A reminder that making games is equal parts art + tech, requiring patience and a strong creative culture - elements that can be hard to build inside larger corpshttps://t.co/fmWxgqhnoj

I’ve said it before and it keeps being supported by the facts:

Google, down in its cultural DNA, resents any humanist endeavor.
Google’s ideal world is one where all of their customers are unfeeling computer systems.https://t.co/XhOGuEoMbg pic.twitter.com/Brr09BQQlL

*Does a massive cartoon double take* You're telling me Google is shutting down Stadia's development division less than two years after it started, before releasing any games? Who could have predicted this? https://t.co/Rf6v5FX6Dv

This wasn't hard to predict for anyone with gaming industry knowledge: "Google will close its two game studios, located in Montreal and Los Angeles." https://t.co/oMxhxEdHFX https://t.co/1s0yk7bHYJ pic.twitter.com/7aObmSjqz0

One thing I heard a lot from Amazon Game Studios employees was disappointment that they'd toiled for years and had little or nothing to show for it publicly. They felt like it was a hole in their resume. Volatility should not be a fact of making games https://t.co/8DNwK6CPPG

Well, everyone who said they couldn’t trust Google to support Stadia long term turned out to be right. I held out hope, but this looks to be the nail. https://t.co/PpBGBFND0V

Stadia is shutting down its internal studios affecting 150 developers, and Jade Raymond will no longer be at Google.

I'm sad to say this isn't all that shocking.

I honestly forgot they had internal game studios. But I dont think one single soul is shocked by this at all. https://t.co/FTaEa1h7Qm
