having a roadmap for killing a service is weirdly organized. I thought google usually just went “welp this is over, goodbye and goodnight”

idk where the google thread is this seems like a bad idea: Report: Google wants to bring the Steam game store to… Chrome OS? quote:We have a wild report from Android Police this morning, as the site claims that Google is working to bring official Steam support to Chrome OS. Yes, Valve's Steam. The gaming platform. On Chromebooks. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/01/report-google-wants-to-bring-the-steam-game-store-to-chrome-os/

on a very basic level the whole thing seems just too fiddly/complex to be a successful mass market product and lacking features and content that would make enthusiasts want it, especially since most of that cohort already owns a console or pc
