Having core parts of your personal computing or business computing rely on Google or AWS infrastructure is a systematic risk. Unless you are are racking up a $50k bill every month, you are simply too small that anyone there would care.

Utterly untrue. AWS is not a 'systematic risk', that's absolutely ridiculous and I can't even begin to address that statement.

The recent Parler incident is proof otherwise. If you happen to cause any inconvenience for them, you are at risk of being cut off.

At least the Parler incident seems foreseeable, if you are hosting content that could bring down the hammer onto the giant corporations that you use to host the content, these corporations will cut you loose to protect themselves. Parler leadership must have know they were in hot water as soon as the amateur coup happened.

The Google thing is such an unforced error because despite this same story happening time and time again, google still doesn't have any ways for (important) customers/partners to reach them if things go wrong. In this case it's especially funny because Google Stadia needs Terraria way more than the other way around. (Terraria sold 30 million copies and is available basically every platform except Stadia, Google Stadia is a struggling new platform that keeps failing to incentivize developers to develop for the platform)
