Stadia Vice President and Head of Product John Justice has left Google, following the closure of Stadia's in-house studio and the departure earlier this year of Jade Raymond, head of Stadia Games.

Justice's departure was reported by The Information earlier this week. While he himself has yet to officially announce the news, Google confirmed the vice president's presence in a statement to 9to5google: "We can confirm that John is no longer with Google.

It was only six months ago that Justice seemed bullish about Stadia's future: in an interview with The Escapist, he spoke about Google's plans to continue developing "more in-house games." But just three months later, that promise came to nothing: Stadia's in-house studio was shut down and only one first-party game saw the light of day (even though it had technically been released on the PC a year earlier).

The closure was also infamous because Phil Harrison told Stadia employees five days before the layoffs began that progress was on track. Harrison later wrote on his official blog that Stadia was moving away from storefront/subscription services and moving to technology that Google could license out to publishers and developers.
