I really don't get how people can continue to be naive regarding google. It seems like they announce a new product and shut down an old one every month.

  Is that terribly different from early stage startups? the alternative for google is inertia where any product needs to prove it can get to a billion dollars of revenue prior to launch. The way internal politics at companies go - I'd expect that approach to yield a lot of Stadia style flops.

    Google is not an early stage startup and the expectations of each type of company are necessarily different.

    And so what if Stadia flopped? At least they proved that, yeah, you can stream games to users in a usable, viable way. I'd still like to own my equipment, but so many people want to play video games without getting into hardware specs, and Stadia was a big step forward for game streaming, which is going to be the future, whether we like it or not.

    And yet other big companies like apple seem to launch products just fine. Google could do with a little more research and planning instead of throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks.
