Andrew Spinks, a co-creator of the popular platformer Terraria, took to Twitter today to blast Google for failing to provide help with his locked Google accounts. Spinks' YouTube, Gmail, Drive, and other Google services have been locked for three weeks. As a result of what he claims is a lack of support from Google, Spinks also announced that the Stadia version of Terraria has been canceled.

I bet that few players would play on stadia anyway.
Stadia is crap anyway. Google should stay away of gaming. Not to say that cloud gaming is a shitty idea anyway - the trend of moving everything to cloud has to stop.

Terraria is still popular, the fact that it has been ported to so many devices speaks for itself. Google should focus more on support instead of automated responses. Basically there is no one to talk to. It reminds me of when I was setting up Instagram and it failed on the initial stages. When I wanted to finish it or recover it asked to send a photo to verify my identity .. on an account which has never been logged to .. and no way to talk to anyone ..
Terraria can be played on pretty much any device, even computers and laptops over 10 years old. Why would you use a cloud service if you can just use your computer/phone directly?
Stadia is trash either way. Hope it dies soon.
Good for him. People really need to start standing up against Google and other companies that think they can just treat their users and customers like crap. They need to be held accountable for their terrible service. I just hope he holds to this and doesn't backtrack if they actually finally end up responding and resolving his issues, because that would be too little, too late.
I see Stadia being the next Google+.
