"This concern — that Google might just give up on Stadia at some point and kill the service, as it has done with so many other services over the years — was repeatedly brought up, unprompted, by every person we spoke with for this piece."

That's a terrible reputation for any company to have.

In addition to Stadia, it seems to be killing off Improbable's Spatial OS, which is a back-end system for very large world MMOs. Originally, that had to run on Google Cloud. Three of the first games shut down, partly because the costs for that service are high. Nobody big is using it.
