Upcoming Stadia Community Forum Changes

Hi, everyone!

The Stadia Community Team is excited to announce some upcoming enhancements to the Community Forum experience.

Beginning on Friday, September 25 at 9AM PT, Stadia players will be able to link their Stadia account with their forum account. This functionality will have two immediate effects:

  1. Founders will be recognized and given a distinguishing badge attached to their username on topics and comments. Founders will also be granted access to a special gated area of the Community called the “Founders Hub,” with some exclusive benefits, such as Q&A sessions with the Stadia Team and more.
  2. Non-Founder Stadia players will be given a Stadia Player badge much like the Founder badge but with a different icon.

So what will all of this look like?

Once the feature is live, you will need to be logged out, then sign-in with Google SSO. Make sure to select the e-mail to which your Stadia account is tied. You will be prompted to grant or deny access to your Stadia account. Note: you may revoke access any time to your Stadia account by the Forum by visiting your Google account’s security settings.

After approving access, your forum account will be automatically updated to reflect your status as either a Founder Founders_Badge_16x16.png or Stadia Player StadiaBeacon_Flair.png. To see a glossary of all current badges and icons, check out this post

If you are not already a forum member, you will be asked to select a username. Founders will see a new link on the homepage to the Founders Hub. You will also find a link to this area in the hamburger menu.

With this functionality, we will be able to build out a rich feature set in the future to further enhance the Community for all players. In the next update from us, you’ll hear a bit more about our plans, including the addition of a gamification system and other cool features. If you have ideas you’d like to share with us, please leave a comment below.

As a final note, we’d like to thank our Founders for believing in Stadia. Early adopters pave the way for those to come, and you deserve recognition. This is just the beginning of our journey together, and we are tremendously excited to have you all along.

Signing off,
The Stadia Community Team

Great little update. Hoping for some exciting birthday updates in the not too distant future. I can’t wait for direct streaming to YouTube from Stadia. I really think that will be a game changer and really raise Stadia’s profile. Being able to create content without any expensive equipment will be fandabbydosy. Keep up the good work. I’ve loved it from day one.

Shame they are only thanking the early buyers and not everyone else that actually played from launch day which actually should be the ones considered as Founders

This is BS! When I preordered Stadia I couldn't get the Founders Edition. I had to settle with the Premiere Edition for the same price. I am an early adopter just as much as any Founder Edition owner. Been on Stadia since day 1 in Nov-19. Why am I excluded from this forum section? Access should be granted based on Stadia account age.

It is always nice to have some Stadia Stars after your name :grinning_face: I look forward t wearing with Pride!

However, I am worried it is going to create salt being treated to a VIP lounge section, I am worried with the potential of it causing a community schism.  I am early adopter and Founder by default, but others are probably better community champions, I wouldn't want to make them feel less valid than a founder, especially when the opposite may be true.

Ho Stadia da quando è uscito, anche se non sono riuscito ad acquistare la versione Founders.
Dato che gestisco un sito italiano che parla della vostra piattaforma, vi chiedo se fosse possibile pagando un supplemento ricevere un upgrade.
Avrei infatti piacere di poter partecipare alle discussioni della categoria "privata" per poter dare informazioni e novità sul mio sito.
Vi ringrazio
