Not the developers who poured millions into porting games.
- danhor 4y agoFew developers ported to Stadia out of good will, Google paid very handsomely up front.
- disgruntledphd2 4y agoYeah, this. My previous company got paid a lot of money to bring our titles to Stadia. And it wasn't worth it, as Google kept changing APIs and interfaces. And then nobody played the game. It didn't happen again, and basically everyone in this industry has been using Stadia as a punchline for years.
- shapefrog 4y agoNot the developers who google poured millions into to have them port games to stadia.
- polski-g 4y agoPorting games? Isn't it essentially and RDP connection?
- disgruntledphd2 4y agoNope, it ran on specific hardware and needed specific compilation. It definitely wasn't free to support.
