Overwatch 2 is getting rid of Map Pools, but maybe not forever.

"You were right. We were wrong. Map Pools are going away starting in season 4," said Aaron Keller, Game Director of Overwatch 2.

Keller also noted that OW2 doesn’t have enough maps currently to justify using map pools. However, he did note that the concept may return in the future once there are more maps released. “If we were to bring them back, they would probably rotate at a faster rate, potentially every week,” said Keller. 

The Google Stadia is officially dead as of 01/18/2023 with service shut down and customers of the cloud gaming service being refunded for all purchases of hardware and games.

Towards the end of 2022, Stadia's general manager Phil Harrison admitted in a blog post that the service, “hasn't gained the traction with users that we expected” before announcing the demise of the platform.

In the last update from Google, Bluetooth support was enabled for users to connect the Stadia service to other devices following the shutdown.
