Games with Pro

We all love the games that come on Pro and sometimes we buy the games that get released on release and sometimes they come on Pro soon after.

Would it be possible to let us claim the Pro game even though we bought it already?

I know it might sound pointless, as we already own the game, but being able to claim it even though we previously bought it, would unlock access to it for another family account and that way we could play multiplayer together.

Maybe this is already available and I'm not aware of it, but if it's not it would be a cool feature.

Thank you.

Hello @ione 

I like this idea. I would also like to be able to buy a game I've already claimed (especially when it's on sale). Please use the "Feedback" feature in the app to send your idea to Google.

Why not Zoidberg?

Well in a way, it's possible to get around the problem fairly and legally without overcomplicating the process.

Other family members can actually purchase a game that you've already claimed as a Pro.

Example: My kids, who have Stadia base only (but are in my Google family), bought Zombie Army 4 on sale, while I'm a Founder and still a Pro member, I had already claimed it. So we can play it together online.

However, purchases by other family members, who are minors, must be authorized, by the parent in charge, for each request/account.

Otherwise, if they are of legal age, the purchases will be automatically invoiced without notice, as stipulated in the terms and conditions of Google family share.

But I totally understand what you mean, and I too would rather be able to handle it all on my own rather than making requests to myself through my children's accounts.

Cheers!
