Hey there,
I have a paid stadia pro account, with other (non paid) Gmail accounts as my family members which can of course play the games I bought and share with them.
Now i understand that is not possible to play a game at the same time because it's purchased only once. (Shame but understandable)
Anyways if I wanna play a free game (like cake bash e.g.) with/against my family members, why is it still saying someone else in the family is playing the game? I mean I can't purchase it twice if it's free.
That problem can be skipped by creating a party or inviting friends at the online room (in cake bash at least), still when friends (and family members at that point) try to join the room, it tells them that the room is already full.
Is there something we're doing wrong?
If not, is there going to be a fix?
Thanks in advance
Hello @Theblaxmith
Cake Bash isn't really a free game. It's a game you have one license for as part of the Stadia Pro subscription. This isn't really any different than the one license you have for any games you've purchased (except that you keep those licenses even when you aren't subscribed to Stadia Pro any longer). The solution to having multiple people in your family play a game like that at the same time is to have one of them purchase the game in their account. All of the licenses are shared across all of the family members, so once you have two licenses total, any two can play at the same time.
