A message about Stadia and our long term streaming strategy — A few years ago, we also launched a consumer gaming service, Stadia. And while Stadia's approach to streaming games for consumers was built on a strong technology foundation, it hasn't gained the traction with users that we expected so we’ve made the difficult decision to begin winding down our Stadia streaming service.
The Verge blames Linux — Google spent millions convincing publishers like Ubisoft and Take-Two to bring their biggest games to Stadia. Google had to pay such large sums because the work to port games over wasn’t particularly easy given Stadia runs on Linux, a platform game developers haven’t paid enough attention to.

Mike Kelly on Twitter — I’ve been curious to try out @rustlang and wanted to celebrate @LinuxUnplugged episode 400… so I combined both in a silly fun little project. Check it out… a mini-website powered by Rust… @ChrisLAS and @wespayne would be proud!
