Is this the first Stadia-related drama?

Google already shut down its internal dev studio so no.

I was gonna say this was a real Phil Fish situation, but this dude seems to have an actual problem with the company, while Phil Fish went out saying "All gamers a worthless, compare your lives to mine and kill yourselves", so....not quite the same.

Has any story related to Stadia involved nothing going wrong at all, like even once?

Yeah I uh, don't think this is the same at all, this sounds like some pretty fuckin' justified frustration

Yeah, I don't know of any game dev situation that is anywhere close to the Phil Fish situation.

There's just the surface level comparison of a game being canceled because one dude got made and said fuck it, which is the only reason it came to mind.

The way he words it does sound like an "I'm taking my ball and leaving" situation but it seems like he's got perfectly legitimate beef, so it's a "You screwed me, so I'm not gonna put my game on your dying console" situation.

It's not a console, and it's not exactly dying, so it's not really that situation either.

But it's bizarre that Google would do this. If they just wanted to break ties with him for whatever reason, they could do a lot more easily and a lot less evilly by just saying so, instead of locking the guy's account and refusing to respond.

I love the part where he says hes tired of getting the runaround, and one of the replies is an automated youtube response giving him the runaround

They didnt want to break ties with him. whoever or whatever process banned his Google account probably wasnt even aware of his connecting to Terraria. I get the impression its his personal Google account that was locked, and I assume theres some other company account that would be tied to Terraria in an official business capacity. Terraria is already on the Google Play store.

Maybe with all the free time of not working on Stadia hell finally get the goddamn console versions up to parity.

NEVER have all your data in just one place. It's recommended that you have it in three places.

Personally, I have the important stuff in a service that's free (Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive), a service I pay for (Backblaze, but may switch to iDrive), my computer, and a NAS (basically a file server at home).

I've been called a Boomer for this, but I don't trust the cloud as anything but offsite backup. I'm glad that even if my house is destroyed that my data is safe on some servers somewhere else, but I don't trust keeping my data in just one location, physically or cloud. What happened here is a good example of why.

Yeah, if there's anything you absolutely can't deal with losing, you'd better back it up in multiple places

The volume of stuff i have that qualifies turns out to be pretty low

I wonder why this guy's Google account got disabled. Of course we're never going to find out.

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.
