According to 9To5Google, Stadia employees didn\u2019t learn about the shutdown until a little while before the public announcement. Stadia GM and VP Phil Harrison put out an email asking staff to attend an early morning meeting. It was during this meeting that Harrison broke the news to employees about Stadia\u2019s fate.<br \/>\nDetails about the email popped up on Stadia\u2019s official subreddit. Where a now former Stadia engineer shared a screencap of the email sent to employees requesting everyone attend. As the email states, employees were being requested to attend an 8:30am meeting to talk about some important updates happening with Stadia. The meeting was virtual, and employees were told they could attend from wherever they were working today.<br \/>\nHarrison also apologized to everyone for the short notice about the meeting. Short notice indeed, as the public announcement went out about 45 minutes after the meeting was over.<br \/>\nWhat does the Stadia shutdown mean for employees?<br \/>\nThat\u2019s uncertain, but hopefully Google will end up doing the same thing it did for employees of its now defunct first-party studio. When Google announced Stadia Games &amp; Entertainment was being shut down, it offered employees the opportunity to move into other roles within Google. It hasn\u2019t been confirmed if it will do the same thing here. But we\u2019d imagine the offer is likely on the table. And if it\u2019s not, it should be.<br \/>\nThat being said, anyone working on the Stadia team was probably doing so because they believed in the vision. A vision that cloud gaming deserved a rightful spot in the gaming landscape.<br \/>\nAnd for those that were truly passionate about it, it seems tough to imagine those employees wanting to work on anything that isn\u2019t related to cloud gaming. Or at the very least, gaming in general. All of this may feel like it\u2019s happening suddenly. But it\u2019s hard to believe that\u2019s the case. And it makes you wonder how much more of a notice employees could have been given.<br \/>\nThe post Stadia Employees Reportedly Learned Of The Shutdown This Morning appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Stadia-1.jpg\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By now it\u2019s no secret that Google\u2019s Stadia shutdown is official, but for employees, it was reportedly a secret up [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":10650,"comment_status":"false","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10649","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bez-kategorii"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10649","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10649"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10649\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10651,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10649\/revisions\/10651"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10650"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10649"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10649"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10649"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
