I think this again points to why google struggles with consumer products. It appears that google's strength in technology sometimes lets them leap frog competitors by bringing a better product to market, they seem to screw up getting the whole of business behind it. Sooner or later the competitors catch up with the technology and do the other things right. I really don't understand why they didn't keep this announcement under wraps and extend the service for another year, as this is exactly the kind of story they don't need with the lackluster launch of Stadia. Google really can't bring large parts of the business together to focus on a strategic goal which seems to result in this flailing around product to product.
