Cancelled subscription

I’ve cancelled my membership to stadia for the stadia pricing method which is crap 

It’s not Netflix of gaming as we were led to believe 

another thing is destiny 2 I get its free for pro members that’s fine 

but to pay for the beyond light at nearly £50 for dlc 

when it’s being bundled in Xbox for free so I know where my loyalty’s lie 

I don’t get why we pay £8.99 to access there server basically before anyone starts yes I know they get you a few free games per month but still it’s a glorified store front you still have to pay nearly full asking price for the games how’s that Netflix of gaming 

most of the game and I’m not saying all games here you can get free on other platforms eg Star Wars fallen order eg is free with Ea games which is now bundled with game pass

Before anyone nags yes I agree stadia done well on the tech front ok few problems and feature updates missing but the concept works but there business model is lacking 

take Amazon Luna or xcloud for instances you pay a set fee and get what ever game is in the library 

anyway let me know what everybody thinks

I mean I don't know where you have heard this "netflix of gaming", but whoever brought this up, this was never the case of Stadia and that was clear from the beginning on, because Google communicated cleary what you will get and what you pay for.

So basically if you are willing to pay around 8,99 per month (depending on country currencies), you get the ability to play in 4K, have Dolby Surround 5.1 and you get some games for free each month you are paying. When you don't pay anymore, you still keep all savings, but you can't access the claimed games anymore, until you pay again or purchase the game.

But if you don't want to pay that's fine too. You can use Stadia without being a Stadia Pro member: Simply buy the game you want to play and start, no download times, just simply rush into the game on any (supported) device.

Sure I can understand that some of you might like other business-models like Xbox, PS, Luna or whatever more and that's totally fine. If you like that more, then use it or pay for it and play. It's totally up to everyone, what they prefer.

The price-models are sure of course high, when a game launches new but in case you feel it's too expensive now, you can also wait a bit and see if there is any discount and then purchase the game (if it's not urgent).

So yeah to put it in a nutshell: If you don't want to pay for Stadia Pro anymore that's totally fine, you can do whatever you prefer.

You completely missing my point and lecturing me how it works I’m very well know if I cancel I lose access to games I claimed 

my point is you state you pay £8.99 for access to various feature which is fine eg 4K if you can get it or your internet is fast enough and the game supports it so this isn’t guaranteed and stadia have come under flak for this 

The above is a glorified service agreement nothing more where you access there server  and features I get that that’s not the issue here 

my issue regardless of what you say it’s states all over media YouTube and even google them self wanting to be the Netflix of gaming there’s even a video about it 

my next argument is destiny 2 is free on pro I get that 

but my problem is stadia states do they not that you don’t have to worry about updates games will automatically update etc etc zzz

so why do you have to pay for the latest update eg beyond light dlc whic is nearly the price of a launch game when other company’s bundle it for free 

You also try convince me what I’m missing with load times and no downloads yes you’re right everyone hates downloads but guess what Xbox have brought out cloud gaming with no downloads and wait times and on every device so what am I gonna miss with stadia 

if you ask me stadia is mugging you off lol

"It’s not Netflix of gaming as we were led to believe"

Makes me wonder, who led you to believe that? It certainly wasn't Stadia, as they said quite the opposite.

Btw, Xbox is going to be charging £200 per month for using Xbox to run games. Now go and spread to all Xbox users. :grinning_squinting_face:

@MetaHawk  Xbox will never charge £200 they not gonna destroy there successfully business model considering the fact they charging £10.99 for ultimate which includes there huge library of games and also includes there new cloud gaming service not to mention they also now bundled EA games for no extra cost 

and if you’re referring to £200 hardware cost they are in the process of introducing a new steaming stick next year to cut entry level pricing so further to compete with stadia 

mite I add Xbox have been in the game for years unlike stadia which problerly won’t be around long  lol

so-in my view that’s a bargain compared to what you’re getting with stadia 

Might I add the player base is crap never get into a multi player match as there’s no players

@MetaHawk Who the childish one making sarcastic comments when people are trying to have a discussion on a topic

who’s trolling who I’m trying to lay down facts that stadia isn’t working there business model is crap  who the hell would buy a full price 1 to 2 yr old game at nearly full price on a sub par platform who has had heavy criticism in the past for there launch

doom eternal is £49.99 on stadia full price but 

4months of Xbox is the price off one game here stadia do the maths

but you get more for your money Xbox cloud gaming tons of games nearly 4 times the content access on tablets mobile and new streaming stick next year further competing with stadia 

doom eternal is free 

Star Wars fallen order is free 

destiny beyond light is free 

so you tell me who’s getting a bargain your the thick one and a mug and being ripped off lol

Might I add the player base is crap never get into a multi player match as there’s no players

no wonder why people are moving away from stadia they get treated like crap by I when someone voices there opinions 

apparently I’m not worth nothing or my opinion isn’t worth nothing

Firstly, I love the concept of this platform. I just wish I had that 30 years ago. It looks & plays real good on my 65" tv.

Secondly, the community is brilliant. Most go out of their way to help new users with their questions.

And lastly, fools are not suffered gladly anywhere. Approach civilly and objectively, and  you will get the same response.

At the end of the day, it's your choice what you subscribe to. No need to make a song & dance about it. Simply move on to your preferred choice.

Before you go - Can I has your stuff? :grinning_face_with_big_eyes:

Oh look:

"Borderlands 3 is currently down to $20 on Stadia"

"Notably, this seems to be a Stadia-only discount too. Steam, Xbox, PlayStation, and the Epic Games Store all still list Borderlands 3 at its full $59.99 price."

That's £16.49 in UK btw, until 2 Dec.

Good timing Stadia. :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:

Your completely missing the point here I love the tech too I’ve not said that and yes it plays well 99.9 % but there business model is crap 

boarderlands 3 is old news that’s why it discounted

and I like community that’s why I’m on giffgaff for mobile 

If the business model was so great why has most other companys include Amazon Luna go the same route and you pay a subscription and you get a ton of games 

plus the fact on my second point stadia claims no downloads no waiting for updates etc in there claims 

beyond light was an update to destiny 2 but no on stadia you have to buy the DLC at nearly a price of a full game 

when everywhere else is bundled it for free

yes I know I can come and go as I please but maybe I was trying to help the stadia and it’s community and give input to make it better but all you seem to do is slag people off just because you may not like their opinion bloody muppet lol

Stadia performance

Anyone else tired of our "next gen" system operating at medium settings at 30 fps... get it together google. Graphics matter ffs. I bought Valhalla last night and  I'm refunding it. Not another goddam penny goes into googles hands from me until they deliver what was promised when stadia started. If I wanted games to run like an Xbox one x, I would have just kept using the console I have.


Mobile gaming = who cares
Playing on any screen = who cares
State share = who cares
Family plan = who cares if the family can't play together!!!!!!
GRAPHICS AND PERFORMANCE are KING. 

If gen2 is a thing, they have been typically close mouthed about it.. another problem with Google.

I'm buying a series x because I would actually like to see some high end gaming for a change. Cloud gaming seems to be a fail which is so very disappointing

For the 4 hours my Xbox series x worked until it broke down I was a bit underwhelmed.....everything is similar in scope and layout to the Xbox One X....appreciate the system didnt last long enough for experiencing reduced load times....but boy was it a chore transferring and re downloading game content.....maybe that's what broke it!  Agree the game pass is excellent value but note that most games will have a shelf life.........I am not the type of gamer that will instantly note differences in frame rate but what you don't know you don't miss.....I don't have a major issue with Stadia's business model but think we need more crossplay to support multiplayer  / social gaming experiences and we need a road map of next gen upgrades....However what stadia needs most is that killer app / game that is unique and draws people in.  Also agree that family sharing like Xbox and pc should allow two sessions jointly for multiplayer sessions (did I read somewhere Luna will be offering this.

@Meattie @You are correct Amazon Luna can play two 2screens eg family share so two people can play at same time or together which is good in my book for family sharing 

agreed we need more cross play etc
