I've been tyring to complain and request a refund on both the hardware and the games since day 1 and all I ever get is this... (see below).
Anyone seeing this AVOID Stadia. At this point I officially HATE Google.
This is all about attention, we're beta testers and they just don't care. All feedback has been ignored, utterly.
@Shipman : Which country are you located in?
Try maybe to contact the Google Store support via this article (for hardware refunds) and this one for contacting Stadia Support (for games refunds).
I mean due to technical issues or overloading-times it might happen that the support is unavailable, but normally you should be able to reach the customer support. If you are located in a specific area in the world and you tried another language, it might also be worth a try to contact the English customer support (if you understand English well), because their lines are normally definetely open, while language-specific ones sometimes are not.
I’m in UK. Birmingham to be exact.
I have asked for contact to be made and nothing.
This, on top of a release schedule that is surely a bad joke, makes me want to just wash my hands of stadia forever.
I've never had any issues yet getting in contact with UK support in the 2 or 3 occasions when I've needed to; although that is just from my personal experience, I am also in the UK east coast.
