Talking to AxiosJack Buser, director of gaming industry solutions at Google Cloud, offered insight into the company’s new gaming strategy. Rather than continue with its legacy consumer-facing platform, Google is bundling cloud services for live-service game publishers. Buser said they’re still “fully committed to gaming,” but the future looks different after Stadia.
“In that moment when we basically had to make decisions about Stadia, we realized that at Google Cloud, we’re at our best when we help others build these things, not necessarily build them ourselves,” Buser told Axios.
It’s a focal point that positions Google as competition for other cloud infrastructure providers, such as Amazon and Microsoft, and abandons its pursuit as a gaming platform. Google Cloud already has it Partnership with publishers and developers like Niantic, Embracer Group, and 2K. The service is distinctly different from the original Stadia offerings, it just isn’t there to provide the legacy Stadia streaming technology.
“We’re not offering this streaming option, because it’s tied to Stadia itself,” Buser told Axios. Stephen Totilo. “So, unfortunately, when we decided not to go forward with Stadia, that kind of show could no longer be made either.”
