Hey stadia team. I want to buy elders scrolls online but since I claimed it I can't. Can you help me??
Yep. This is just the way it is, claimed games can't be "purchased". This has been brought up before and confirmed that this is by design. To be honest, I'm with you on this one and don't really understand why this limitation exists either.
@BinaryJay and @MaxwellSwagger ... I'm not trying to be funny here, I'm asking because I honestly don't know. If you're a Pro subscriber, it makes sense that you wouldn't be able to purchase a game you claimed. But are you guys saying that if you end your pro membership, that you're unable to purchase previously claimed games while you're a non-subscriber/free member? Or have you only tried to purchase claimed games while you're a Pro subscriber?
No, he wants to buy it while he has a pro subscriber discount on it, but the discount is worthless to anyone who claimed it for free since you can't buy it until your sub ends.
@Babaganuche7 Ahh! OK. I didn't think about it in terms of the sales. It makes sense that if you want to make sure you own the game that you get it at a great price, which obviously you can't do it you're a Pro subscriber who has claimed it. Yeah, that does stink, because even if you could purchase it later after ending your sub, the discount price is probably gone. Thanks for clarifying that for me!
Not to speak for those guys but I believe anything you buy has more value than anything you get for "free" with a sub, got hundreds of free Xbox live games that don't even touch because they were free but if buy a game for even a fiver you bet will play that to completion.
Hearing this makes me not wanna sub, if like a game would want to buy to get an attachment to it and also support the devs, be good if there was a lower tier sub without the games but you can still access the sales and higher quality stream.
I bought hitman 1 whilst i had it claimed and i was an active member of pro. Maybe it was a different sale or maybe it was a different version of the same game?
I agree with everyone while it should probably prompt you that you already have a game on pro, you should still be able to buy it. It would give developers more money and give players a greater sense of freedom.
To make matters better the claimed games and pro game should count as separate licenses so family can easily pay together with 2 copies of a game on the parent account.
I agree fully.
You should always be able to buy a game even if you are a pro member. As others said, on a sale you might wanna take the jump just to own it when you decide to end subscription.
