This is why it's hard to trust large corporations with game development. Stradia launched just a little over a year ago, and they're already shutting down both of their internal studios in Los Angeles and Montreal. While companies like Amazon and Google can afford to take the risk, they still don't understand (or care) the effort and time that needs to go into an original IP.
Given Google's track record of previous products, it's also probably time to start placing bets when Stradia enters the Google graveyard.
