Ya'll really should have just skipped this week and not said anything. 

It feels like the SG&E news is being swept under the rug. I doubt people are going to treat it has a news cycle and move on in a couple days. People are going to stay upset about this for a long while yet.

I hate that feeling you get when Google decide to pull the rug from under you when you're reliant on a service provided by them! But thought, when I jumped aboard the Stadia train with my purchase of Cyberpunk, that although it's still relatively early days, the offer of a free controller and Chromecast was too good to pass up. In the weeks that followed I've bought Ghost Recon, Trials Rising, Assassins Creed Odyssey, Crew 2, Grid, and Red Dead Redemption 2. Admittedly the discounts offered via a Pro account have heavily influenced that list, but I did so in good faith and on the back of what has so far been an enjoyable experience on the platform. This from a guy in his 40s with a young family, a former Counterstrike veteran who'd stay up most of the weekend gaming before settling down. Someone who'd slowly fallen out of love with gaming over the last 15 years due to the barriers of cost of entry. So I see Stadia as perfect for someone like me who can pick it up and put it down, can watch my son get into it ... you  know, we got him a Switch for his birthday last year but all he wants to do is play with his old man on the Stadia! He loves Crayta.

So here we are, a little over 2 months in and I'm getting that sickening feeling that makes you question whether that decision to hop onboard and then jump straight in was a wise one.

The handling of this announcement needs to be followed up with additional tangible commitments along the lines of "You back us, we'll back you in refunding whatever you spend for the next 2 years if we renege on our commitment to the future of this platform as a viable product." It's that or committing to finding a way to transfer titles we've purchased over to another competing platform were they to shut up shop! Honestly, I just don't need the doubt in the back of my mind ruining my experience. 

Google is an absolute behemoth of a company, FFS they should be able to make this work. It's that siloed organisational structure with so many unconnected ventures, that's so often it's downfall that leading them to retire products/services prematurely. If only they would unify some of their operations. If anyone from Google actually gets sight of this, how about something like this?

I'm sick of ads on You-Tube cutting through videos in an inconsiderate mid-spoken word manner, yet I refuse to pay £10 a month for original content on that platform (that I'm not interested in) to get rid of the ads. But I'm more than happy to pay £8.99 bucks a month for Stadia Pro (at least I was pretty certain I was going to after my 3 month trial ends soon!). Google Photos unlimited backup at HQ settings being shuttered for all but Pixel devices from June, even though I'm already a Google One subscriber for an annual commitment? Give us extra perks as reward for investing in your success.

Take a broader look at what you're offering us and combine the offer. Make it so appealing that folk can't help but make your ventures more successful. Throw in no-ads on You-tube with a Google One subscription; Link a Stadia gaming offer alongside that of your Google Play Pass; Uncouple You-tube music and add basic audio offer to the Google One account; or Link free rolling 30-day video storage on Nest devices to a Google One subscription. Better yet, let us cherry pick a combination of options with greater discounts levied the more you buy. You get the idea! We don't just see Stadia, You-tube, Nest, Fit-bit etc. Once assimilated into the Borg right?

One other suggestion for the future success of Stadia, more local split screen multiplayer titles please! Better still, remove the restriction announced alongside that which allows people part of a family account to share games, except not at the same time. I'd love to be able to play titles that have other multiplayer options outside of split screen but that isn't an option when we can't play together at the same time. I'm pretty sure I read that Amazon's Luna service announced that they would be permitting 2 concurrent logins.

@StadiaTeam can you do us a favour, let management know they dropped a clanger by going out publicly via a VP blog post over on Google which largely reflects on the tech side of things and an unsubstantiated "Trust us" to those of us invested in its future. They ought to have either amended this weeks post in recognition of the announcement or better yet follow it up over here with something directed towards the gamers offering additional assurances and a window of what the next 6 months looks like. You can't have made a decision like this without that information to hand. It just leaves us feeling like we're being taken advantage of.

Also, I recognise that those affected most by this are all the talent your effectively letting go, I really hope they get the opportunity of further meaningful employment with you as has been committed or an opportunity presents itself to them at one of the other players in the industry.

I'm hoping Stadia continues to grow, as are many others here. The game changer would be a GTA 6 exclusive! Make it so!

Isn’t it great when you don’t play a game for weeks and come back to it and finding out your files got corrupted and you can’t log in anymore. Well that happened to me. Fun:(

@StadiaTeam I’m sorry for complaining about NBA2k21. Turns out my internet is crap. You guys should focus on growing your brand and bringing great games to Stadia. I enjoy playing Stadia but I just get tired of playing the same games. Stadia is the most underrated gaming platform. I only have one request. Plz add FIFA. Everybody and their dog wants this game. You guys have been doing great bringing new games to stadia but we want more. You guys should make a day called Stadia days of play and bring new games each day and put discounts on other games. That would be really cool.

Es ist sehr schade, dass sich das Stadia-Team noch nicht zu der aktuellen Entscheidung geäußert hat. Aber ich gehe sehr davon aus, dass es dazu dient, Stadia für die Zukunft fit zu machen :thumbs_up:. Ich selber werde auf jeden Fall Pro-Mitglied bleiben und Stadia weiterhin die Stange halten. Da ich sicher bin, dass dies die Gamingzukunft sein wird und schon ist.

Entgegen der Aussagen aller "hater" läuft Stadia super, hatte noch nie so wenig Probleme beim spielen als jetzt :thumbs_up:. Selbst der inputlag ist niedriger als bei meiner PS4 (die ich seit Monaten nicht mehr angeschaltet habe).

Die monatlichen Pro-Spiele machen auch viel Spaß.. Journey to the savage planet zum Beispiel, macht richtig Laune :grinning_face_with_big_eyes:.

Deshalb an dieser Stelle, ein riesiges "Danke schön" ans Stadia-Team für diesen tollen Service. Macht weiter so und bitte bitte haltet durch. :hugging_face:

 

PS.: An alle Zweifler,...........einfach mal ausprobieren.......ihr werdet positiv überrascht sein

So @StadiaTeam?  Are you just going to turn it off?  Run it down?  Or refund us?

 

I may as well stop my pro subscription this minute given how little info you’re sharing.

 

Engage with customers now or lose us forever.

A week on and zero comment from google.  Not even to the actual user base.

No wonder this is a failing platform

Still nothing.  One question:  why would I spend a penny on a service that could be pulled any minute?

@StadiaTeam no reassurance to offer?
