Terraria’s Stadia port has been cancelled following dev being locked out of Google account
The Stadia port of Terraria has been cancelled after the game’s creator got locked out of their Google account.
On Monday morning, Andrew Spinks, the lead designer for Terraria and founder of Re-Logic, tweeted their frustration at Google for locking them out of their account. Spinks claims they did not do anything to violate Google’s terms of service and that their company would not be supporting any Google platforms moving forward.
“@Google my account has now been disabled for over 3 weeks. I still have no idea why, and after using every resource I have to get this resolved you have done nothing but given me the runaround.” Spinks tweeted this morning.
“My phone has lost access to thousands of dollars of apps on @GooglePlay. I had just bought LOTR 4K and can't finish it. My @googledrive data is completely gone. I can't access my @YouTube channel. The worst of all is losing access to my @gmail address of over 15 years.”
“I absolutely have not done anything to violate your terms of service, so I can take this no other way than you deciding to burn this bridge. Consider it burned. #Terraria for @GoogleStadia is canceled. My company will no longer support any of your platforms moving forward.”
A Google account controls many assets of an individual’s online presence, including access to email, photos, cloud storage and every app purchased on the Google Play store, so it’s a pretty big deal that this has been taken away from Spinks without any reason given.
