Deathloop was announced as a PS5 console exclusive five months before Stadia even launched, how does the timeline even make sense?Ghostwire and Deathloop both launched on PC and PS5 at the same time
Speculation but MS could have blocked the launch for Stadia as it’s a competitive cloud platform for all we know.
It doesn't necessarily mean Google would have acquired them. They may have tried to establish marketing deals, other exclusivity deals or simply counted on their content being available on the platform.
MS were honoring the contract signed before they acquired Bethesda when it comes Deathloop. When it comes to the cloud, well, MS is investing heavily into it due to Game Pass so its a likely scenario that they might try to block it and he did say he was speculating....not that there were any established plans. The question you are asking has already been answered in how he started his statement.
and not the real reason, that the article was written in February 2021 and there are no actual quotes or proof in the article. Not to mention that nobody with working brain cells took Stadia seriously with their multitude after multitude of terrible business moves, but hey, desperate times call for desperate measures. 
I understand it’s speculation but it still needs to make sense as a theory. Nothing indicates there ever was a Stadia version of the games Sony moneyhatted since it never was announced, even prior to the MS purchase.
lol ! Recycling old articles is refreshing imagine a company you dot care for or doesn’t have games living rent free in your head.
It wasn't their games. Stuff like Rage 2 was there since 2019, Doom and Doom Eternal were announced in 2020. The contracts were already done.
damn MS always killing their competitors!The rest is your usual psychotic rants I won't bother this time. Peace
Celebrating less competition?...the FTC wants to have a chat with you.
Even less with MS acquisitions. Is so unfair and inadequate.
Really? Lol. I think we're all shocked it lasted this long.
The best thing about the OP are the rats who don't understand what they're reading and take a false victory lap only to get visibly upset and shaken that no media is reporting this and no big gaming forums are talking about it. I already see a usual suspect on Twitter claiming MS paid the media and influencers to keep hush about this and that's why nobody is talking about it

Stadia = Google
There's no audience for it, how many times will this have to be proven? You can literally start playing on xCloud right now for $1 in most of the world, yet hardly anyone is doing it.
You can't be serious. Customers can't subscribe directly to Azure or AWS to play games.
Now they just need to save us from Microsoft.
Stadia closure = negative implications now? I thought people were celebrating
Ok so he was talking about Google Cloud only (NOT Stadia) but how can customers play games on Google Cloud without Stadia?

who doesn't leave any opportunity to turn any news into anti MS/Phil, such as this thread 
"As Microsoft continues its shift into game streaming and digital-only, Xbox boss Phil Spencer says PlayStation and Nintendo are no longer the platform's main contenders."

Bethesda wasn’t going to save that shit show. You had to buy games at full price that you couldn’t ever download and play. Fuck that shit with a studded dildo. Whoever thought that was a great idea should be fired and forbidden to come up with any ideas ever again. In fact, it was such a bad idea that we should give that person and all another people that agreed to it shovels to bury their careers.
Be careful thicc. Reading too much on resetera can be harmful to one's mental facilities.
I don't even know what you're talking about now but I suspect it again has no relevance to what was being discussed and is another deflection to a different point.Is it more or less mind boggling than the deflection of trying to put Stadia closing down on Microsoft ?
Oh, funny story on that. The Kotaku article that the OP's article is quoting says this:
The hyperlinked piece there with the "reported at that time" has absolutely no mention of Bethesda at all.

I'm not even sure what you're arguing about. Phil made several mentions of Google and called them his main competition for cloud gaming. It was talked about at length here and everywhere.Most people are, but then you have folks like our friend
Imagine taking an interview done a few weeks after Stadia launched, where its name isn't used by Spencer as some kind of indication that it was considered primary competition. Let alone the last few years where Stadia barely put up a viable footprint to even be considered competition to any of the primary gaming platforms in the first place. It has had the same level of impact as an Ouya all things considered.
PS:
Luna didn't launch until 10 months after that article. Unless Phil has incredible clairvoyance, he is not talking about Amazon Luna 10 months before it was a thing, just like he doesn't mention Stadia even once. in the article where he's talking about cloud infrastructure and name dropping Azure:
Some people are just desperate and hoping this somehow stops the Activision acquisition. Even though realistically MS had nothing to do with Stadia's failure.Is it more or less mind boggling than the deflection of trying to put Stadia closing down on Microsoft ?
Oh, funny story on that. The Kotaku article that the OP's article is quoting says this:

Google Stadia Shuts Down Internal Studios, Changing Business Focus
Google Stadia, the late 2019 streaming platform that promised to revolutionize gaming by letting users stream games without needing to own a powerful PC or console, is altering course, getting out of the game-making business and will now offer its platform directly to game publishers alongside...
