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.
- minikites 6y agoGoogle is not an early stage startup and the expectations of each type of company are necessarily different.

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.
