Stadia is alive and well, insists Google exec Ewdison Then - May 13, 2021, 9:58pm CDT Google is notorious for its many projects, some of them very expensive and some of them even involving partners and customers that rely on such products. When Google launched its own game streaming platform, it wasn’t surprising that some regarded Stadia with uncertainty, especially about its future. Despite all the worrying news of late, Googler Nate Ahearn says that Stadia is “alive and well”, which is what you’d expect to hear from Stadia’s developer marketing lead. Google shut down its first-party, in-house Stadia Games & Entertainment development studio last February and then lost its head of product for Stadia John Justice last month. Despite its consistent weekly updates on new games coming to the game streaming platform, many have started to wonder how long Stadia will last in this state and the pace of development. Ahearn, however, advises non-believers not to look at that news but to notice its Stadia Makers program instead.
