That list is irrelevant. Even if Google had never killed a product before, it would be worth believing if there is solid evidence.

Here, there is none.



>That list is irrelevant.

A company's operating history is absolutely relevant to whether or not people believe rumors about it's operations.


Believing baseless conjecture is dumb imo.


> That list is irrelevant.

You said the rumor is baseless, but that list is a rock solid foundation for any rumor of Google cancelling anything.


That’s not how it works. Would you believe the same about Google Ads? Rock solid foundation and all that.


Any confidence I have in the continued existence of Google Ads comes from Google Ads persisting for several years already. That confers approximately zero confidence to Stadia. Stadia is new to Google, and that list shows that things new to Google are very likely to be cancelled. If Stadia hangs on for 20 years, then expectations will be adjusted, but that hasn't happened so it's foolish to expect it.


Do you believe Google will cancel Cloud? It’s also new. If you do there’s money to be made shorting Google.
