Family at home and Coronavirus

Hi, it is from 08/03/2020 that my children are closed at home, here in Florence in Italy.

SoI thought, "Let's buy a console! Which one? Ps4 or Xbox? Wait, there's a new Google service: STADIA!"

I decided to buy the Première Edition with an additional controller, to let both children play.

But here's the surprise! Family members cannot play it.

I think it's a huge Google flaw.

I am regretting having made this purchase which does not help us stay at home. Perhaps I would have been better off buying a hardware console.

Yeah, family sharing isn't available yet.  So one alternative is to monitor your children while they are playing and let everyone use the same account.   Shouldn't be too much of a hassle in a lock-down situation until such time that family sharing is enabled in due course.

You can of course send your Stadia back for a full refund within the first 2 weeks IIRC and then purchase a different console of your choice instead.  Plenty of options available.

Kudos appreciated if deserved.
