Google is “positioning itself as a go-to tech partner for publishers of live-service video games” by offering its cloud gaming tech to other companies.
According to Axios, the tech megacorp is “pitching its Cloud program as proof it remains invested in gaming”, despite shuttering its cloud gaming service, Stadia, back in January.
“It was at that moment when we basically had to make decisions about Stadia that we realized that, at Google Cloud, we are at our best when we’re helping other people build this stuff, not necessarily building it ourselves,” Google Cloud’s director of game industry solutions, Jack Buser, told Axios.
