Just curious and who knows, maybe someone will adopt it or develop something new based on its ideas.

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 the idea, but Google already had a reputation of killing off good projects when Stadia was launched, so I didn't want to buy games that would disappear when Google got bored of maintaining it.
