As usual, some Googler browsing HN will reactivate his account, everyone will forget and Google won't change a thing to his unbanning process.

Hopefully, more devs will do what this dev is (said to be) doing.

> Consider it burned. #Terraria for @GoogleStadia is canceled. My company will no longer support any of your platforms moving forward.

Of course, it's very difficult for small devs to do this. It takes an already solid business to be able to stand up like this. As always, I think this is the only way for Google to change, but I don't think it can happen.

Good on him. Takes courage and an established product to do this.

Good example of standing up.

But he won't pull Terraria from the Play Store I guess. Because he has no choice unless he wants to wreck his business.

Play Store isn't struggling for content. Removing terraria from it has zero impact on Google's bottom line. Stadia on the other hand very much is - removal(or cancellation) of an extremely popular indie game from the platform just accelerates its inevitable demise, something that will very much hit google's bottom line.

Even if they haven't said it out loud, Google has already decided to cancel Stadia, so unfortunately cancelling a game for it will have zero impact on Google.

Google closed one of their first party Stadia game development studios. They haven't decided to cancel Stadia as a whole yet, at least not publicly.

>>delect+FC
We've seen the playbook often enough. If you think they aren't going to close it down in 3 years, you're wasting money.

and

> "Google has already decided to cancel Stadia"

mean entirely different things. Of course people expect Stadia to get cancelled, but to claim they've already decided to cancel it is disinformation. It's a blatant lie. Don't spread fake news.
