that Google might just give up [...] was repeatedly brought up, unprompted, by every person we spoke with for this piece.” https://twitter.com/...

Dare Obasanjo / @carnage4life : Indie devs are avoiding Google Stadia because Google's financial incentives are too low. This lowballing also sends the signal Google isn't ready to invest big in Stadia which gives the impression it's a bet that could be canceled not a core product https://www.businessinsider.com/ ...

ACG Game Reviewer / @jeremypenter : https://www.businessinsider.com/ ... Articles that write themselves. Mark Horton / @whatusaymark : I don't blame developers for not trusting Google, or that Stadia would last, given their past. Not paying enough was the icing on the No cake. https://www.businessinsider.com/ ... @grummz : Google ego. #stadia https://twitter.com/... Paul Tassi / @paultassi : Uh not great from notorious cheapskate....Google? https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/... Ben Gilbert / @realbengilbert : Why aren't so many games on Google Stadia? Developers told me that Google isn't offering enough money, among other concerns: https://www.businessinsider.com/ ...
