It will be a cold day in hell before I trust Google with my gaming again
Google's track record with new hardware and software categories has never inspired confidence, and Stadia is the one example that taught me the hard way. Google has tried to make gaming work on a handful of its platforms, more than I can count at this point, with more than a decade of separate attempts. Android gaming has always felt secondary to whatever else the platform was doing that year.
