No credit card for new account

Please remove need to put credit card and sub to Stadia Pro to make an account, this would increase population and make things easier for new people to jump on board

@fthekat504 Yeah I agree it would be better if aside from having a new user sign up Pro trial, there should be a direct way to sign up for the service without doing the trial. Right now we can also let those that don't want to use credit card to claim one of the free games like Destiny 2 from its direct link to sign up for the service

Hi @fthekat504 

I don't think this will happens, otherwise, you can create 20 accounts for N stadia pro months. Hope this make sense.

I understand that but it's confusing to people, I constantly see explain how it is free, so other people don't understand to cancel pro to get the free tier, they believe if the trial runs out that's it useless when that isn't the case, just don't tie making a free account to Stadia Pro easy, give people the option of maybe purchase it later when they want to but to gatekeep making an account is holding the platform behind

GFN doesn't require a credit card to make an account, free trials are a good start but options should be there, people believe it's like Luna or anything else when trial runs out that's it, which isn't true they missing out on the free service

@fthekat504 Totally understandable and personally I agree with you 100%. This is actually one of the most common feedback regarding Stadia, so you can also send feedback through the app if you haven't. The more people requesting the same thing will mean create higher chances for it to happen (no guarantee though, but who knows right)

I'm just tired of hearing "explain how it is free" and have to explain the process which is confusing to nontechy people, also kids that can't or not allowed to put in a credit card

So, am I reading corectly that you DON'T need a subscription to the Pro tier to play? THe way this is worded is very confusing... to me at least, it sounds like I NEED to sign up for the free trial, then remember to cancel before the 30-days is up so I'm not billed if I don't want to continue, but then I loose everything I've got... so confused...

Also trying to learn if there's an additional cost to the games that are being listed, or do they come free with the Pro-tier subscription?
