Suggestion - Roadmap for upcoming Pro Games

Hello folks !

I am a happy founder, i love the tech behind Stadia, it feels very promising.

But on the other hands, i have some issues with communication about games offered as stadia pro subscription :

  1. As there is a limited amount of games and that pro games are offered on regular basis
  2. It meens that is it very likely that games we just bought, will be offered the month after ...

Bests examples Tomb Raider and Farming Simulator.

I managed to got a refund for TR but stadia saleforces might consider to avoir such things.

Is there a chance that we got a roadmap of upcoming games within months to come ?

Is there a chance to know which games are candidate to be part of a pro game pool vs games that will not be offered ?

 

It will surely avoid people to hesitate before buying stuff ...

For now, i bought RDR2 (enjoying it) but i am not sure to buy more games such as Metro Exodus or Assassin's Creed as there is a high chance they will be part of next pro free games !

Support Stadia and buy the games. Dont requests a refund. Tomb Raider is an awesome game and it was only 10€

I already supported Stadia : as a founder. And by paying full price RDR2. What I am expecting also is a clearer communication and good advertising/marketing. I do not need to be convinced, I trust the Stadia tech. But to the eyes of non-believers (I.e most of the gaming websites, reviewers, & YouTubers) non clear communication and odd strategy could give them arguments against Stadia. I do not want that and I want Google to succeed. But improvements would be a nice move to me.

 

Edit : at least Google is doing a good move toward users :

  • We know that some users have recently purchased these two games for their collection. Because of the proximity between the launch of the platform, and the announcement of these titles in Stadia Pro, we are happy to assist you if you'd like to request a refund if you have purchased either or both of these titles, even if it's outside of our normal policy.

@Exar As much as I'd like to see a release schedule for Pro included games, I really doubt we'll ever see it. This will reduce sales for those particular games, as they'll just wait for the game to be available as part of Pro. Even now, I'm already feeling a bit of FOMO when thinking of buying new games. I can't help but thinking "hmm.. what will they offer in January..."

 

@CheekyBoinc Support can come in different ways. Paying for Pro subscription, which is the only way you get to keep the games included, is also a form of supporting

@Ivanthis is the kind of answer I expected.  I guess the only thing I would really try to avoid is having a sale and a game become pro within a month of each other.  I completely get not announcing pro games ahead of time.  But having it on sale and then a week later having it be free just feels bad.

@NetSage Yes having it on sale then a week later feels bad. If you look at the most recent announcement, Google is actually making a special case this time. If you've bought Farm Simulator or Tomb Raider DA, you can get refund outside the normal policy :slightly_smiling_face:

probably up to the developers but I also see STADIA becoming like EPIC but on steroids.
