I have a friend that worked on Stadia. He said he couldn’t believe how little faith they had in their own system.
My personal opinion is that almost everything about it seemed botched. Which was so strange because I think it was out during COVID and it seemed to be an ideal device when parts were expensive at the time.
Google has a culture that rewards brand new ideas. Everyone at Google wants to be on the cutting edge of something new, and if your job was to maintain something, that was a demotion/missed opportunity.
Things die at Google so frequently because why should an engineer shoot themselves in the foot by provide support?
