> I'm sorry what does any of this have to do with Google's lies Google is not a charity. If something is not working out financially, or the market has failed to grow at the pace Google initially thought, it is in their best interest to exit that market and re-allocate resources. You know... like any rational business. > This is frankly an idiotic summary Well then perhaps you can enlighten us on why the market has failed to materialize? $2.5B for 4+ industry-heavyweights to fight over is pathetically small. The R&D costs alone to deliver this type of service likely outweigh several years of total industry revenue... yet each of these companies is trying to blaze their own path more-or-less independently. In short, there is no addressable market, and the numbers clearly tell us that. Do not be surprised when more of the players exit this market as well. Just because you love a service doesn't make it a reasonable or sustainable offering.

Correct, Google can't be trusted to commit to a product long-term. Even a product with paying customers. > Well then perhaps you can enlighten us on why the market has failed to materialize? Because like I said, it's a young market. It has absolutely enormous upsides for those that can win it. > there is no addressable market This is laughable. You're a clown. > Just because you love a service None of the cloud gaming vendors have ever even offered the service in my country. I have no dog in this hunt.

  You don't seem to be capable of understanding basics about business and seem to feel entitled to services that aren't working... It's no wonder you're so upset. You still cannot explain where the market is, or why the existing services are being forced to raise prices and cut hours already... but hey, you want it therefore you're owed it, right?

    You're misunderstanding the limit on gaming subscription revenue from having to put a $400 and usually idle P55 or XSX in every living room instead of leverage a free app already in every TV. That's the TAM.
