This is exactly how Google needed to handle this situation, and they need to be praised for it! The shutdown of Stadia was completely predictable, but I am overwhelmingly surprised at them providing refunds to users for games & hardware and going the extra mile to ensure the hardware is not immediate waste.
As the cryptkeeper over at Killed by Google, I'm very happy with the outcome for Stadia users (myself included). However, I don't think this will move the needle of Google's 'killer' reputation as much as people think given all the skepticism about how long this product would last in the first place. The "death pool," and the people who voted basically predicted the timeline within a few days[1].
