Pro discounts

Jump to Best Response
I'm hoping I speak for everyone when I ask if we can have a regular date for stadia pro discounted games, like every 10th of the month for example. Shadow of the tomb raider 11 days ago was £50 now it's £20. Or why can't everything just happen the 1st of every month.

Buying games digitally that later go on sale is an occupational hazard on every storefront.  While I don't believe any other storefront offers price protection beyond the usual return policy, it could be a nice customer friendly policy for Stadia to introduce.  For example, automatically refund the difference in price if the price goes down within a week of purchasing.

That's a very good idea @AshtheSmash, totally agree! Would be much easier than checking every day for sales.

@AshtheSmash : 1st of the month doesn't follow business economics IMHO.  Start of the month, most folks have just been paid...I know not every company pays monthly, but on average I believe that they do), so why discount when they have the most money to spend?  You don't, you fleece them for as much as they can possibly pay... 

Now, later on in the month once there isn't much left in the account, that's the time to bleed 'em dry, give 'em a discount so that the final contents of their bank accounts/piggy banks/overdraft/credit limit can be siphoned off to pay for a game that normally they wouldn't be able to buy, but can do so because it's just barely affordable...

Happy holidays!

Kudos appreciated if deserved.

Everyone loves saving money especially me if I don't think I'm getting a good deal with stadia I'll go somewhere else. I'm no fan boy of any company. I don't really care what date they announce the discounts or the free monthly games just do it the same time every month and maybe announce it a week before.just don't leave people guessing.

That's a really good idea @BinaryJay!

Or maybe the Amazon-pricecheck would even be better, because then Stadia would not have to refund. Something like "If you find this price somewhere else cheaper, we adjust the price for you to this price."

For customers this would be very nice at least, even though I think from the sales-position of Stadia this would not be very good. :grinning_face:
