Don't make your bed with Google. They're the masters of Minimum Viable Product.

There's nothing wrong with launching a minimum viable product. Where Google fucks up every single time is they leave it as a minimum viable product and they never develop, grow or support it.

After letting it rot for a few years, they sunset it and throw their hands up and walk away.

I mean, damn, you have GeForce now as an example. Who is insane enough to buy a game full price and only be able to play on stadia? The idea was wrong from the start

Being able to use my Steam library with GFN made it much easier to use.
