On: Google has already pulled six products in 2023

Why would I invest in games/hardware for Stadia if Google themselves admit that it might get shutdown at anytime?

Lying to consumers is the safer (short term) bet.

They did something nice, instead of leaving the users with a brick, they refunded all users who bought Stadia products through official channels.

(sadly, to get official distribution, you need to be part of the "worldwide deployment" of Google products, and it's often a lie that actually menas "we deployed in many large countries except yours")

Stadia presumably would not have the experimental label because it was such a large investment.
