Today on the Daily Fix, Google has pointed towards Microsoft’s acquisition of Bethesda as a factor in its decision to close first-party Stadia studios. While the connection is unclear, Google may be changing its strategy, opting to buy out franchises and game studios rather than creating their answer to series like Fallout and The Elder Scrolls. Microsoft is continuing its work to expand accessibility in gaming, first with the Adaptive Controller, and now with new development guidelines. These guidelines should streamline the process of creating more widely accessible games and even introduce methods for developers to get feedback from Microsoft and the Xbox team directly. And last but certainly not least, we take a look at some off-the-wall moments from Tony Hawk 3, presented by Pacifico.

Microsoft bought fallout and launched a nuke
So therefore they blame Microsoft now because they are way more established among gamers?.
Meaning Google is going to buy studios, not build them from the ground up
those better be real plants
I hate the way Google does business. As a Stadia service user, I am losing faith in the platform more and more as the days go by. Probably should have bailed out long before but I didn't. *sigh*
It's rare to see both Microsoft and Google working together,
To Kill Stadia.
Google stadia should have shut down while it was still in Alpha stage. They would have saved so much money and there wouldn't be a scar on their resume.
Ruin Johnson… Disney never learns…
I hope your day is as awesome as Stadia… isn't
Did Jaleco Kill Stadia?
For a gaming outlet, y'all knowledge is pitiful.
Google has just discovered that game development is expensive and it take years, si they saw what Microsoft did si they said: "hey, we habe that kind of money, just lets buy studios"
Sega will never be purchased by Microsoft after hear this news.
Beer taste like piss, don't drink
It was silly for Google to come for Microsoft's crown – cloud gaming. They been in the game so long & have the best service, no one would switch.
Nice house
Sidney goodman😀
I'm pretty sure stadia killed stadia, dont try to make something a homocide when it was clearly a suicide.
Not sure why I always think Ms Goodman is Australian even though she has an American accent.
Ofcourse it is Microsoft's fault that they bought some well known studios to give gamers bigger range & better made games for cheaper(with gamepass); instead of trying to RESELL games people already own like Stadia wanted… Maybe they should also blame "Geforce Now" since it seems they are also doing pretty well just by letting people play whatever game they already have. Time to rethink google, next time try to have less of a "money maker" brain and try to win "players" instead of trying to win "double dip wanna be" companies…
Microsoft greedy
Or stadia is freeing up money to buy an established video game dev studio…
Google: launches a crappy product and decided to give up on Stadia
Also Google: ITS NOT OUR FAULT!
Stadia killed themselves
That blows i just bought a stadia in nov And then all of this i just got it for destiny if anything albeit still a shame that they gave up pretty much.
I mean isn’t this googles way of saying that they were targeting zenimax for acquisition and lost? To shut down studios because a competitor acquired a large studio only makes sense if you lost the bid and the acquisition was a primary factor in your business plan.
Google is just proving their track record right.
Amazing. Just a year later, their shutting down their studios with out even trying.
WITHOUT EVEN TRYING! Will people be able to get a refund?
Stadia created at terrible product without doing the necessary research into the US internet infrastructure. That's really all you need to know.
Stadia is having a slow death and everyone who bought games will lose them
I think Google wanted to buy Bethesda, but Microsoft beat them to the punch.
this is the most weak sauce excuse i've ever heard
Their digital movies service is pretty poor. Their anime doesn't even have both language under one roof. Vudu has DVD extras in their service. I'd say that shows pretty poor effort on Google's end.
Googles products have like a 78% chance of being canceled
The connection is, they should have bought franchises instead of creating a studio and original ip. Like final fantasy on playstation back in the day. A no brainer for rpg fans.
You know what, sometimes i just wonder if all this charade of not knowing things is lighting these small fires inside me prompting to comment.
Stadia didn't even stand a chance against Microsoft
Nobody killed stadia, it just born to be dead just like Cyberpunk 2077
Doesn't matter what Google does now. if Google buys anyone, consider them dead and gone. No dev in their right mind will join google after they closed their own studios.
Stadia was a lost cause from the very beginning. It was dying as soon as it was released
The "What's Up" robot strikes again.
Google would rather but studios rather than build from the ground up
Stadia killed Stadia!! That's it!
Google stadia kinda like psp go
i like beer.
Xbox: hi
Sony: please don’t, you can have MLB the show 😢
Yes they killed it.
Google: Wait, dont leave! You…uh…can play Doom on Stadia! Pretty cool, huh?
Microsoft: Buys Bethesda
Google: …im angry, where are those 1st party studios we have? i'll take out my rage on them
Xcloud is s**t and for a long time Xbox fan it’s hard to say but it’s true
IGN Soooo. MS acquired Bethesda which causes issues for Google, but not Sony? I thought all Bethesda games will still be multiplatform! 🤣
