Stadia’s VP and head of product leaves Google

I think of all of Google that's not Search & Ads as "side projects" that they do kind of like a hobby.

They'd like for them to succeed, but it's nowhere near the focus an org that lives or dies by the project has.

So if gaming proves harder than expected, they move on to other fun things.

With the way apple is leaning in terms of making life harder on advertisers, if they were to release a value phone ($200) with all their consumer privacy protections soon after a revelation in the news about how pervasive advertising companies are / how much they know about you, I wonder if it would make a dent in google's only real line of business.

I'm probably projecting too much of my own privacy-mindedness onto the general populace, though.
