[software] Google distances itself from a Stadia developer who says streamers pay a license for it

At a time when games like Among Us, which have received millions and millions of players thanks to the publicity and reach that streamers are able to give to a particular topic, Google is in the position of publicly clarifying that opinions individual developers on staff do not correspond to the opinions or plans of Google.

This is due to the statements of Alex Hutchinson, creative director of the Montreal Studio of Stadia, who in two tweets has stated that streamers should not worry so much about whether their broadcasts are removed from the network for using unlicensed music, but rather claims that they broadcast games they haven't paid for.

Alex goes further and explains that the reality is that streamers should pay the developers of the games they broadcast, in addition to acquiring a license as "all real businesses" and paying for the content they use.

It is at least strange that it is precisely a developer who works for Stadia, a platform where one of its main attractions is to broadcast our games on the network, who shows such a negative position on the matter, which is why Google has had to come out to defend itself and uncheck yourself from these comments.
