Like... maybe? Why does it have to be a lie instead of incompetence? They may have totally thought that back then, then changed their mind?

It's Google. Everyone knew the second Stadia was announced that it would die. It wasn't even a particularly good example of a game streaming service. If you work for Google and were convinced that Stadia was secure for the future, you should reconsider the reality you live in.

So... Just to get this correct, the social media person who probably isn't privvy to plans affecting their job in two months should have written something along the lines of "were told it's going to be ok, but who even knows with Google"?

Maybe PR teams shouldn't get a free pass to say whatever they want. If your PR team can just lie to the public due to "ignorance" it becomes very very profitable to lie to your own PR team.

That would actually have been hilarious.

They could just say "we don't comment on future plans" instead of lying to increase sales, aka committing fraud.

I've used GeForce Now and Stadia was a lot better than it on my iPad/WiFi

What service is better than Stadia at actually running games in the cloud?
