Google Stadia is a mobile game device that is all set to close down in January 2023, which has proven to be sad news for Stadia fans despite Google being known for halting promising products in the past. Google Stadia fans are quite passionate about their games, which is why this news has hit them very hard and many of them have expressed their disappointment on many social media platforms.
