@sulphurtx That's an interesting take. For me, I purchase games where I would like to show the dev/pub support for bringing their game to Stadia. I think it's a great way to show that games from that dev/pub are very sought after on Stadia if there's a lot of purchases.
I can see the fear about a game becoming pro after you've bought it but look at it this way. You paid for early access to that game before everyone else got to play it on Pro!
Yeah, that's also my strategy on Steam, but the offer of games and especially games with very specific genres and good prices is so huge on Steam... And not on Stadia. For instance: I tried the demo of Cake Bash on Steam and thought is was nice, but not worth 20 euro on Stadia when it might become PRO next month...
I will definitely pay for a game that is just released and perfectly matches my preference!
The 3 games that get PRO in November would have cost me 55 euro when I had bought them... A lot of money.... ![]()
I know the feeling to well bought a copy of grid full price on stadia and 2 or 3 weeks later yeah you guess it free for all stadia pro members ouch!!

Maybe Stadia could get a refund option the first hour of gameplay? Just like in the Play Store...
There's already a refund policy. You have 2 hours of gameplay or 2 weeks since the purchase, whichever comes first.
I won't be too much worried if the game will be free in the next month of Stadia Pro, anyway it was something that I want to play. Maybe you should wait months before you will see free.
