The “competing business” seems almost like clickbait.
This is a game developer and he is saying Stadia is a competing business. But Google will want developers to make games for stadia, not make all the games themselves.
As far as the termination itself goes, either he actually did have another account or shared creds with someone who did something shady, or he was just unlucky enough to share an IP address or some other piece of tracking info with a person who did. It would be interesting to know the next steps google might take, for instance if this person became employed by another company would google terminate the accounts of that company? The email seems to suggest they could, but I assume that at some point a company might grow big enough that google would back off.
- johnwheeler 7y agoYes, I didn’t finish the whole article, but it seems akin to saying Wal-mart kicked my lemonade stand off their property and competed by selling Countrytime and Newman’s Own.
- ggggtez 7y agoConsidering they never even launched their game, I think that metaphor is giving too much credit. It would be like if your friend was caught stealing from Walmart, and then you and your friend walk in to Walmart together. Then when Walmart bans you by association, you write a blog post about how Walmart is trying to shut down your lemonade brand.
