Terraria on Stadia canceled after the developer was blocked from Google accounts

The Terraria co-creator canceled the next version of the game for Google Stadia after his Google accounts were blocked. Andrew Spinks, or Demilogic on Twitter, explained that he lost access to all of his Google accounts, including Google Play, Google Drive, YouTube, and Gmail. Spinks has been trying to get them back for more than three weeks, but his attempts have been unsuccessful since he claims to have been “confused” by Google.

“I absolutely did nothing to violate your terms of service, so I can’t understand it any other way than if you decide to burn this bridge,” adds Spinks. “Consider burnt out. Terraria for Google Stadia has been canceled. My company will no longer support any of its platforms going forward.”

“I will not be involved with a company that values ​​its customers and partners so little,” continues Spinks. “Doing business with you is a risk.” A few days ago, fans noticed that Terraria had been rated for Google Stadia on the Pan European Game Information website. Now it seems that this version of the game will not see the light of day.

Spinks’ difficulties with Google seem to have started in late January, when Terraria’s official YouTube account has been disabled. Terraria’s official Twitter account posted about it last week in an (unfortunately fruitless) effort to get Google’s attention.

Explaining the scale of the problem, Spinks wrote: “My phone has lost access to thousands of dollars in apps on @GooglePlay. I had just purchased LOTR 4K and I am unable to complete it. My @googledrive data is completely gone. I can do it” t access my @YouTube channel. Worst of all is losing access to my @gmail address for over 15 years. “In 2011, we gave Terraria on the PC a 9/10 review, saying, “This rogue little indie sandbox title borrows so many ideas from the Notch game that is essentially Minecraft in 2D, but it also reinforces familiar gameplay in exciting ways.” so, the game has reached a dozen more platforms, but it seems that Stadia will not make the list.

In other news from Google Stadia, Google recently closed all of its internal game studios, affecting approximately 150 employees.
