Google has a habit of getting bored of a service or, if it's not doing too well, just switching it off. Can you assure people that if they spend money on Stadia games, they are still going to have access to them in the coming years? I completely understand the question. I think there's a couple of things I would answer to that. One is our commitment to this business is extraordinary. If you look at the list of games, and crucially, the list of game companies that are backing Stadia, you can see the level of interest and support. Google is committed to this for the long term, we have made very significant financial investments in this. And we have an incredibly dedicated team who is helping to make Stadia reality. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-48525703 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-48525703 Words are cheap, though.

Google, 2014, probably. Words are very cheap.

  That seems unfair - Wear hasn't been abandoned. It hasn't been an overwhelming success, but it's not been a complete failure either. https://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=prUS44901819 https://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=prUS44901819 I can't see Google dropping it unless Apple abandons theirs first.
