Google To Wind Down Stadia Streaming Service Three Years After Launch
"I have no doubt making the BDR compulsory for licensees, giving police more agility and the courts more scope to place problem drinkers on the BDR will lead to a reduction in alcohol-related harm and crime."
As you can see, an Amazon shopping event in October is not unprecedented but two Prime Day-like sales in one year is. Amazon likely gathered some valuable insight into the effectiveness of a fall placement during the delayed 2020 Prime Day event and will be hoping it can again get the jump on Black Friday sales which tend to kick off in mid-November these days.
Sept 29 (Reuters) - Alphabet Inc's Google said on Thursday it would wind down its consumer gaming service, Stadia, as it failed to attract enough interest from gamers after nearly three years of being launched.
"I was kind of seeing my family there, and it's a special moment to represent my country in the NHL at home in Prague," Hertl said.
"So, a lot of emotion, and it was just a special moment. I'm so proud I can be even here."

What countries can participate in the Prime Early Access Sale? Now that the Prime Early Access Sale is official, we know which countries will be able to participate. The event will run in 15 countries:
When you're logged in to your Prime account and looking at a product landing page, you'll see the discounted price if it's on sale. You don't need any special coupon codes, nor is there a need to use a specific payment method in order to get the discounts.
Which is better, OLED or LED?
In our reviews, OLED TVs, which use organic light-emitting diode technology, have always had better picture quality than LED TVs, which are basically LCD TVs that use LED backlights. The main reason is that with no stray illumination of blooming, which leads to better contrast and pop. LED TVs can get brighter, however, and usually cost less than OLED TVs.
The first time I picked up the PlayStation 5 DualSense controller, I thought: it's like a little living thing in my hands. I was playing Astro's Playroom, a free PS5 game designed to highlight the new controller's features. But, I also wondered: How many other PS5 games are going to take advantage of its wild, subtle features?
"While Stadia's approach to streaming games for consumers was built on a strong technology foundation, it hasn't gained the traction with users that we expected," Phil Harrison, vice president and general manager of Stadia, said in a blog post.
There aren't that many PlayStation 5 Pkv games that make the most of the DualSense feedback and triggers at the moment: Sony's Spider-Man: Miles Morales uses the subtle haptics a lot as a type of Spidey-sense, but not necessarily to transform gameplay. But those moments could come. It might take developers like Team Asobi to show the way, especially when a possible PSVR 2 arrives.
As it tends to do in the lead up to its Prime Day sales, Amazon has teased several Prime Early Access Sale deals for us to get excited about, though they aren't live just yet. However, Amazon has kicked off a bunch of early deals on its own hardware as well as some other goodies. The company is
"We started going out to third-party publishers, developers who also work on PlayStation or plan to make PlayStation games, which is why [we made] some of the choices we made about the tech demos," says Doucet. "We had one where you could bounce a ball and the ball could be a basketball, football, volleyball, ping pong ball. And they were all different expressions by the way they were bouncing back and the way the trigger would behave. And we did that because, we thought, well, we're not making a sports game. But you know, there are people where the ball physics and ball behavior is quintessential to the experience. So let's have this kind of demo and see how far we can push out and that goes up to them. And they can sort of get inspired."
Team Asobi was sent its first DualSense prototypes back around early 2018, says Doucet, when the group was still busy making the PlayStation VR game Astro Bot Rescue Mission (which is one of my favorite PSVR games of all time). A dedicated DualSense team split off and started brainstorming clever things the controller could do.
Sony has leaned on its own creative team to showcase the possibilities. Japan Studios' Team Asobi has made games showcasing the PlayStation 4's camera and PlayStation VR headset, and Astro's Playroom does the same for the PS5. It's as much a tutorial for new owners as it is an inspirational attempt to spark what other game developers could do next.
