Google Stadia.

They had built a solid streaming platform for low latency cloud gaming but failed hard on actually having interesting games to play on it. You just can't launch a gaming platform with a handful of games that have been available everywhere and expect it to succeed.

I liked Stadia. There are plenty of competitors, but Google had the technical edge.
