What is the social media person supposed to say in this case? "we're working on a blog post about Stadia shutting down that'll be released in 2 months"? Even if Phil Harrison himself were the one running that Twitter account, he probably knew it was destined to shut down but didn't have anything official on when or the details of the shutdown.

Something evasive in the vein of "Stadia represents a significant investment and Google has not announced any plans to scale back Stadia. We can't comment on rumours and speculation."
"Good night, Stadia. Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely kill you in the morning."
Fittingly, piracy would’ve served consumers better than Stadia did.

"We're proud of our Stadia experience and we are working hard on projects for it." That would not be as misleading as we are not going anywhere.
Anyone who didn't think Stadia was going to shut down at least a year ago was either kind of inexperienced or being paid not to realize the obvious.

There are also those who knew it was at risk and in danger but thought that it could be saved with hard work and a little luck and were working toward that end.

If they can't find peace with everybody calling them a professional liar, they should quit their job and find an honest line of work.
