The Google Stadia version of Terraria has been cancelled following Terraria creator and Re-Logic founder Andrew Spinks losing access to his Google account.
"My account has now been disabled for over 3 weeks," said Spinks via Twitter. "I still have no idea why, and after using every resource I have to get this resolved you have done nothing but given me the runaround."
Spinks added that he has "lost access to thousands of dollars of apps on Google Play" and his "Google Drive data is completely gone."
"I absolutely have not done anything to violate your terms of service, so I can take this no other way than you deciding to burn this bridge. Consider it burned. Terraria for Google Stadia is cancelled. My company will no longer support any of your platforms moving forward.
"I will not be involved with a corporation that values their customers and partners so little. Doing business with you is a liability."
Terraria is available on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, iOS, and Android.
My phone has lost access to thousands of dollars of apps on @GooglePlay. I had just bought LOTR 4K and can't finish it. My @googledrive data is completely gone. I can't access my @YouTube channel. The worst of all is losing access to my @gmail address of over 15 years.

I still hate how Google, like a child with a tantrum, shut down G+, because it didn't become as big, or topple Facebook, so I can see and agree with why Re-Logic don't wanna do business with them anymore.
Google just cannot be trusted with making product, or maintaining a service, for long enough that it'd benefit customers/partners, since Google only really cares about itself.
Those are some scathing comments, but I can absolutely get his frustration. How does Google expect support from 3rd parties when they can't even guarantee access to their own, free services? Or even a modicum of support? Stadia is proving to be as much a liability to developers as to potential customers.
Lets be honest. Its easy to ignore Stadia because its a failure. But still, Google is an evil company.
Very odd occurence.
Sounds about right. His experience is that of many, although his is more severe given the losses incurred. The worst.
