Google vice president and head of gaming streaming service Stadia, John Justice, left the company shortly after the search giant closed game studios in February this year and changed the service’s development model. Earlier this week, Justice’s departure was reported by The Information, although he has not personally announced it himself. Google confirmed this information to the resource 9to5Google, noting only that it wishes him success in his future endeavors.
Just six months ago, John Justice was optimistic about the future of Google Stadia. In an interview with The Escapist, the top manager spoke about Google’s plans to increase the development of its own games. However, after three months, his promises turned out to be a dummy – the company closed the internal Stadia studios, and only one game was released, although its release on PC actually took place a year earlier.
Another curious fact comes from the fact that Google VP and General Manager Phil Harrison once told the development team working on games for Stadia that things were going great, and after five days people were fired. Later, Harrison wrote in the company’s blog that the development model for Stadia will change, and Google plans to license the technology itself to publishers and third-party developers.
