Phil Spencer praises Google Stadia's technology

Many know the sad news of the year, since officially Google Stadia will stop working in the coming months, that is due to certain errors that led them to the imminent failure. And now that things are a little calmer, Phil Spencer of Xbox has given his comments about the project, praising the way they did things.

From the point of view of the Games CEO in Microsoft, Google did many things well with Stadia, but also made critical mistakes that could not be missing. Even so, he mentions that it was something convincing, even some of his friends worked in this area, thus having anticipated views of the most interesting.

Here is your comment:

I have many friends who worked in Stadia and were there from the beginning. I love the investment in technology they made. I think they did a good job by building a cloud platform and that the hardware they had was solid.

I think there is real use for a cloud infrastructure that can allow creators to distribute the game to their customers almost instantly. Not excluding people who download and play games, but as another option for them. Absolutely, I see it, and I think what Google has created will find a real application there. No doubt about that.

After this, he also commented that the approach to the games was Google's mistake, since it was the rent of the service and apart the purchase of games, something that was definitely going to be confusing, especially because Game Pass was already solid In the market for that moment:

This mentioned:

Google's error was to base its subscription service around the purchase of games at the beginning of the introduction of a new technology, instead of starting with something that has a lower marginal cost for a customer.

For now, it will be difficult for something similar to compete with Game Pass.

Editor's note: Google Stadia definitely had to see Game Pass, because paying the service and then buying the games is definitely not the best idea for all markets. Hopefully do something productive with that technology.
