However, in September 2022, Google announced that Stadia would officially shut down in January of the following year. Immediately after the announcement, Xbox was the first one to take a dig at the company. Now, almost two years after Google Stadia died, the developers of the \u201cSavage Planet\u201d are mocking its downfall through a billboard ad.<br \/>\nHere\u2019s why the Savage Planet\u2019s maker is mocking Google Stadia\u2019s downfall with an ad<br \/>\nIf you didn\u2019t follow the news at the time Google launched Stadia, you must be wondering why a non-rival would take a jab at its downfall. Here\u2019s the backstory. The studio behind the \u201cJourney to the Savage Planet,\u201d Typhoon Studios, launched the \u201cSavage Planet\u201d series before Google launched Stadia. However, Google went on to buy Typhoon Studios in 2019.<br \/>\nThe company wanted to develop new original games for the cloud-based platform. Unfortunately for Google, it turned out to be a poor decision, which led it to later shut down Stadia Games &amp; Entertainment (SG&amp;E), the in-house studio responsible for creating exclusive titles for the platform. Notably, the company shut down the studio nearly a week after the Journey to the Savage Planet\u2019s addition to Stadia.<br \/>\nAs noted by 9to5Google, the same team managed to get the Savage Planet IP back from Google. Later, they formed a new game studio called \u201cRacoon Logic\u201d after securing funding from Tencent. The team reportedly worked on a sequel to \u201cJourney\u201d called \u201cRevenge of the Savage Planet,\u201d which is due for launch on May 8, 2025. As the launch is on the horizon, the studio\u2019s market effort is in full swing.<br \/>\nThe ad takes a jab at Phil Harrison, the then-leader of Stadia<br \/>\nInterestingly, the team chose a billboard near the annual GDC event, taking a dig at Stadia\u2019s death. It\u2019s worth noting that\u00a0folks over at Video Games Chronicle pointed out the ad. For the uninitiated, it was at the GDC event in 2019 that Google officially launched the Stadia.<br \/>\nAs seen in the image below, the billboard ad reads, \u201cHas a Harrison fired you lately?\u201d The developers clearly took a jab at Phil Harrison through the ad. He led Google Stadia at the time it was functioning. There\u2019s also a QR code on the ad, which redirects to a donations page for a mental health organization, with a message that reads, \u201cWe got fired by him as well!\u201d<br \/>\nThis isn\u2019t the first time makers of the \u201cSavage Planet\u201d have mocked Phil Harrison. Late last year, Ragoon Logic initially mocked Harrison with a new character, which it posted on X. The message there reads,\u00a0\u201cgunther harrison, your days are numbered!!\u201d<br \/>\nImage credit: Video Games Chronicle<br \/>\nThe post Maker of 'Savage Planet&#8217; mocks Google Stadia&#8217;s downfall with an ad appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Google-Event-Stadia-1.jpg\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1081\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google officially launched Stadia\u00a0on November 19, 2019.
