It is a multi-billion dollar investment on the couse of 10 years. Also most of the stuff in killed of google were not actually killed, just turned/merged into other services. Google Glass is a big example, it became an enterprise-level product, which fits better instead of a general public product. Similar to the 3D printer boom/bust. 3D printers didn't die, just became enterprise-level products used by the industry.

Interesting.

They should ditch their Quadcores and go octacore or at least hexacore, however. Quadcores become very limiting by now for the 1 percentile and increasingly for total FPS

Stadia app is already available for Android and iOS. interesting, since it will take a while until the service it is made available on Apple products and other Android phone brands.

It will, so just wait and see.

They'll likely take the MS route and buy out major studios. Though the important thing for Stadia that would produce more sales are big name, quality exclusives. They need to present a real reason for gamers to specifically pick out their gaming product when there are 3 others on the market other than sheer convenience. 

Rooting for Stadia to fail. Should not have to pay full price to rent a game.

I prefer my OUYA over Stadia

I think if it fail it will have nor impact on the gaming market the better question is what impact will it have if it doesn`t fail.
