Google is the last platform we should ever want to aquire studios...

As long as they buy insignificant studios. Like this one. If they grow under Googles lead and make great things, so be it.

Yep I rather have MS buying (even though I basically play most of my time in playstation) than Google, at least I accept Xbox as a worthy opponent.

I played like 3 times to my Stadia (got the founder edition) and this is simply not playable; and no matter what the few milliseconds of lag input will always be there. This really sucks for the aquisition cause games are not going to come on traditional console/PC... Or maybe Google is also coming up with a "real" console at some point that will run Stadia games... but until then, this is like losing the studio imo
