What is going on with this launch? I’ve had my hardware for 3 days now and still don’t have a Stadia code. Customer service refers you the the Stadia customer service and the wait cues are backed up for hours. I can’t sit and wait that long and probably be told to wait longer by customer service.
The only way of not waiting for your code until you're a skeleton, is to contact the Stadia Support to insist for sending the email code. The problem is of course, that everyone is doing that atm (plus all those who have problems with Stadia in other ways), but I hope you get through and receive your code.
For a friend of mine this worked, he contacted their support (UK) yesterday after receiving the shipping-email and got his code from the support.
