Yeah, it sounds like it was more of an experimental project for them, they seem to do that a lot with different projects.
The tech behind it seems to be superior to anything else out there so it will be shame if it goes to waste.

Can I still buy the joystick and still be refunded? Is it any good for pc gaming?

how is that confusing? only so many ways to butter a piece of bread, home slice.
Google could have snatched up bluepoint, Housemarque, Bungie (who they were really tight with and pushing with Destiny 2), Bethesda, Activision etc and it would have been a whole different story for consoles.

Good riddance. Google Stadia was a cancerous mistake that should never have been made. It produced nothing of value, wasted everyone’s time and money, and failed in every sense of the word.

And nothing of value was lost.
WiiU will at least be remembered for the great games it produces, Stadia will always be remembered as a failure.
And don't get it wrong they don't refund the games out of good will, they did it because the damage and potential lawsuit they are going to face far exceed refunding everything.

I thought soap operas are so supposed to be the lamest shows ever. But if they were this good on TV, I'd watch them!

And there were so few people using the service, the cost to refund the games was minimal.

funny that before lot of people including insider, developers claim that Stadia would be 'game changer'. to the point there bunch of people confidently predict Stadia will make big presence and stand tall alongside Playstation and Xbox(not counting Nintendo) even before this generation started.
there also bunch of people believe streaming particularly this services will kill traditional console. just like the claim how mobile phone will kill consoles before lmao.
there lot of bickering about this lol
such a waste of potential. they should be 'a step ahead' compared to other streaming services. but in the end..whatever the reason is, google always gonna be google.
RIP Stadia

That, and they are most likely trying to protect the brand.
I have no doubt they will launch Stadia-2 or a similar service by another name once the dust settles.

Do you guys think someday the internet connection/speed will be so advanced that there will be no quality difference (resolution, frame rate, stability, and input response) between a streamed game and one running on a console? Because if that never happens then consoles are here to stay (hopefully).

Those people are now saying the same thing about xCloud, they think it's the last gen for consoles and their savior will make gaming possible on every screen and reach billions.
Thing is, the general public doesn't give a fuck about cloud gaming and never will. Sony tried but gave up in 2017. Stadia is now dead. Luna is going nowhere.
Cloud gaming is more niche than VR, it doesn't matter if you put it on every phone/tablet/tv or toilet.

I recall many people saying the same thing about physical format not so long ago.
Streaming is the future, like it or not. Stadia and psnow failed, luna probably will fail and even xcloud could fail, but streaming still plays on another league.
If sony and microsoft want to reach a 500m userbase, a traditional physical console doesnt have the capacity to scale. Let aline on the current shortage reality.
People complain that VR isn't going to be ready for primetime because of the inconvenience of a wire but then think people are going to be happy right now streaming their games on the train on a flaky mobile connection carrying a gamepad around. I can't even keep a steady connection on the overground trains on the most reliable network with the best coverage here.

I can only guess some higher up at Google killed it and the people in the Stadia department are as shocked as they are.

Controller! It's a controller!
I'm just messing with you. I own it and the controller is decent. It's better than it looks, but not as good as alternatives.
In my opinion tierlist is as follows:
Xbox Series controller/PS5 Dual Sense -> Dualshock 4/Xbone -> Stadia controller.

Good to know. I was just looking to a new "free" controller, but it's no possible anymore.

It is good as an option like MS and Sony do, but not full blown cloud. It's one of those things that is nice to have the option, but if I can download the game instead, I would always pick that option.
