After this, Google Stadia also tweeted that Stadia Pro users could play Wavetale game for free until August 1.
The rumour caught fire when a post in a Stadia Facebook group announced that the platform is about to shut down. It was later revealed by a moderator of the Facebook group that the comment was coming from a user “Donny Jepp” who is “making snide posts about Stadia for months” and was banned.
