At the start of summer, I started to run into an overheating problem with my PC. I made sure that all fans/vents were clear and clean and even reapplied thermal paste, but it kept getting in the upper 90C range after about 20 minutes into a heavy gaming session (nearly boiling). Eventually I broke down and got a larger case and put like 6 fans in it which solved the overheating problem.

Well, considering that even Ubisoft have stopped support for Ghost Recon : Wildlands, I would say they did not get them back, or maybe the last patch was reverted and they couldn't play online with anyone else, other than other Stadia players...

From what I saw on the subreddit, people’s Ghost Recon saves did get fixed a month after everything broke but only for around half of the Stadia userbase. The other half had to reach out to Ubisoft’s customer support and wait up to several more weeks for a manual rollback to be performed on their accounts.

Ehhhh this is a Stadia post with some merit.
My PC is a 300-500W space heater which can rapidly take it's room in my house from a not-nice 27-28C to a particularly unpleasant 35C on a hot day.

I've used Geforce NOW to get around this issue a couple of times in the past. Of course, I use Geforce NOW which already has my game library on it and not Stadia, wherein I re-buy a game for full price for no particular reason.

Killing the service this summer would be especially hilarious given that FIFA 23 just got confirmed for the platform.

A list of positive facts amongst the negative rumours (Stadia Outlook) posted:

I thought it was worth posting a look at the positive outlook of Stadia moving forward in the near future and beyond.

There has been alot of rumours circling around other sub reddits and twitter about the anonymous Facebook Post in a Stadia Group detailing a shut down similar to a 'my uncle works at nintendo' Post.

As someone who is a fan of gaming in general I can see the positive outlook of Stadia moving forward including the following:

• Stadia is expanding into a new territory this year (Mexico)
  
• FIFA 23 is arriving to Stadia with next gen features alongside full crossplay
  
• Saints Row is arriving day and date with all platforms
  
• Stadia Maker Games such as Death Carnival, Sky Climber, She Dreams Elsewhere etc are still on course to arrive this year and next year
  
• Indie Developers reporting substantial revenue made from entering Stadia Pro
  
• More Free Trials being added with over 100 titles now having playable trials without needing a Stadia Account
  
• Continued support from Developers in the low change porting programme (Milestone, Paradox etc)
  
• Stadia team still hiring for positions across the world
  
• New UI and UX updates still rolling out (albeit slightly slow)

These are only some of the positive points that we can take from Stadia now and moving forward. I have always and will be primarily an xbox gamer but I wish for Stadia to do well to push others in the cloud gaming space to do better.

There is room for all cloud services to thrive within the industry and I look forward to seeing what the future holds!

Ah, well, that's that, Stadia's in good health, it's not like they've ever said things were going perfectly fine before shutting poo poo down a week later or anything.
