I’m sorry, but the meme would not exist if it was not a reality. Google has a history of shutting down products that don’t reach a critical mass they find appropriate - regardless of how good the product is, or how essential it is to the users that adopted it. Inbox, anyone?
It is perfectly sensible to be mistrustful of Google services, especially new ones. It’s also pretty disingenuous to accuse someone of trolling when they clearly have been burnt in the past by Google’s practices of decommissioning good products all the time. I myself have used many products that Google arbitrarily decided to decommission. I do not trust any new services they create.
Saying Stadia will "inevitably" be shut down is an exaggeration and trolling regardless. It implies every single product Google launches shuts down, which is obviously completely incorrect.
Obviously it is exaggeration. Exaggeration is a common form of rhetoric used in normal conversation. Exaggeration, however, is not trolling.
And it often has a kernel of truth behind it. It makes perfect sense to be skeptical or hesitant to use a Google product, especially a new one, especially one with no guarantees made with regards to longevity. In fact, I think it would be reasonable for most users to err on the side of caution here.
