While the news may not be surprising to some, it’s clearly blindsided s💫ome of the developers creating games specifically for Stadia or working on a port for pre-existing ones.
“We have a game cominꦛg to Stadia in Novem🍎ber,” No More Robots founder Mike Rose . “Who wants to guess that Google will refuse to pay us the money they owe us for it?”
Following the tweet, Rose followed up hours later to say that they still had not any clarification from Stadia on what&🐲rsquo;s happening with games, deals, or “anything🅺”.
Rose isn’t the only developer to of that sort. Va💟rious other developers have also said that coverage in various outlets was the first they had heard of Stadia’s closure, despite the fact that they have projects in the works for the 💛platform.
“I know everybody is having a great time laughing at this but stadia had the best dev revenue of any streaming service, and launching H🙈yper Gunsport there was going to recoup our dev costs,” Necrosoft Games director Brandon Sheffield . “We were launchinꦗg there in November and are now in a much tougher situation.”
