Credit were credit is due.

Google have shutdown Stadia in an exemplary manner.
They have reimbursed me for the fees, let me keep the hardware and (sort of) unlocked it so it can live on as a games controller.

I'm sad that stadia didn't work out - largely because they didn't get the content relationships right.

But if you do have to shutter a cloud/iot service this is how to do it.

@steely_glint honestly yeah, fair play to them especially when it comes to unlocking the controller for use with other things.

@llbroadwell They could have gone further, say by publishing the controller schematics and built a hack community around it - but realistically they have done well.
