Google Stadia, the tech giant's ill-fated venture into the video game industry, is taking its final breaths after little more than three years.  But will the passing of Stadia signal the end of cloud gaming? We discuss what the future of game streaming might look like and whether or not there may yet be a place in this world for Stadia.

We'll also be talking about the Microsoft layoffs that are confirmed to affect Bethesda and Xbox, how Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot is apologizing over his "ball in your court" comments to staff, how Shigeru Miyamoto said "no" to a Wario-style Princess Peach character, and how a pet fish accidentally revealed a streamer's credit card details during a Pokémon Violet livestream.

Finally, class is in session with Professor Ryebread in our Gaming History 101 segment. In this episode, we're remembering the early history of Newsfield Publications and its leader, Roger Kean.
