@Viridian3965 just want to clarify that paying Pro sub is not a requirement to play games on Stadia. Even without subscription you can still purchase games and play them.

If you don't find any benefit with the Pro subscription, then definitely you should unsubscribe. You can subscribe back when you feel the service provided with Pro sub is worth your money.

@Ivan  Well its not much of a choice yes you can have free but to play games in 4k you have to pay. So yes if you are ok with 1080p gaming yes you can go free.

@Viridian3965 yes you're definitely correct. But if you don't find any games that you want to play, doesn't matter whether it's 1080p or 4k right? 

My point is, you shouldn't be feel like you're forced into paying for the Pro sub if you don't feel like you're getting the benefit. The great things about Stadia is that it's flexible with regards on being able to play.

Hey @Viridian3965  

I'm gonna be honest with you, I've had reservations and doubts many times in the last nearly-2-years. 

If you want to stop paying for Pro, that is your prerogative and your right, and I'm 100% not negating that. However, I will say that just because you haven't seen the Stadia beacon on the announcement videos, doesn't mean the games are certain to be absent from Stadia at launch (or post-launch). 

I appreciate you have concerns, I honestly do! I think your best bet would be to reach out to the developers/publishers and let them know you'd like them to bring the game to Stadia. 

I know this isn't much of a solution, but if you do get a satisfactory answer, don't forget to mark the post as solved!

All the best!

@OriginalPenguin  Well i'm with you on the zero logo thing but come on you no as much as i do that we are never going to get the big games like battlefield or cod or the new evil dead game. We are just the joke now days with gamers. How long will all of us say sure google we are ok with 3 years for a game that is long dead. I think stadia could be so much but google will not put the money into. Some of you may think i hate stadia but its the other way around. I'm hard on it because so many people just say good job but do not tell the truth. I have been on stadia day one i got my friends to switch over but i'm the only one left playing. I want stadia to do well but it will take people calling google out also stop handing over free cash.

They literally give you a powerful platform for free and you're having a tantrum over not seeing logos on game trailers?

Pro is an optional subscription that has its own set of benefits, and completely separate from what titles appear on the platform. If Pro isn't providing value for you then yeah, cancel it, but don't whine about what titles may or may not be coming to the platform in general.

They've been adding massive games at launch for a while (Cyberpunk, RE:Village) so to sit there and complain that boo hoo hoo such and such a game isn't coming boo hoo hoo when all we know is a Stadia logo didn't appear on a frickin trailer is next level entitlement.

If it bothers you that much, drop the $400 on a PlayStation or Xbox, or couple thousand on a PC and play them there.

@m3t4lw01f  I will like it but i will tell you just like all other post i do. You may call me a boo hoo but as someone who has put lots of money into a service that i wanted to see as my home place to play all the new games get nothing. I will call google out. Yes you do not need pro but if you want 4k that is the normal way to game you have to pay. That is all i have to say on this.

Hello @Viridian3965,

I think there is no interest of putting so much venom against Stadia : It's not an engagement when players join Stadia. You can leave if it doesn't fit your desired games.

Personnally I can't agree with you. Real games ?

  • Final Fantasy XV
  • Red Dead Redemption 2
  • Octopath Traveler
  • Resident Evil 7
  • Resident Evil 8
  • Far Cry 5
  • Dead By Daylight
  • Assassin's Creed Valhalla
  • Little Nightmare 1 & 2
  • Cyberpunk 2077
  • Orcs must die! 3
  • The Elder Scrolls Online
  • Trine 4
  • Baldur's Gate III
  • Metro 2033 (all)
  • Tomb Raider (all)
  • Gylt

(Only from my library)

So much good game or huge licences. How can you say it ?

Even if there isn't "every single game that exist in the world", can't you undestand that even now, Stadia is still new because cloud gaming is new ? Let Google & Stadia the time to grow.

@Whito  I hope you do not think that is a big list of games.  My god this is why other gamers make fun of us we get 3 games a year we think that is amazing.

No obviously not a great list. So when Google tells you 100 games take it with a grain of salt, they mean 7 or 8 games. If of those 7 or 8 games half fail like Outriders, Cyberpunk or Marvel Avengers and others do not perform well like Watch Dogs Legion or Resident Evil, frankly you are playing roulette in your sales and in your exhibition.

Google will know what it does, I would personally bet on all the big F2Ps and forget about selling.

Maybe I'm just drawing a blank here, but those feel like the ONLY AAA games that have been released in 2021 so far on all plaftorms, save for other platform exclusives. It's been a slow year.

I'm good with what they're offering. It's not like you have to stop also playing on other platforms.

@mcnichoj Hey happy you like the games you have. for me i wanted this year to be the year stadia shows the market it can hang with the big dogs with a good online fps game, We can only play pubg for so long at this point tell we say ok what is new for online games. Yes we have rainbow 6 coming but that online is not for all gamers at all but its a start. My thing is with out ubisoft at this point stadia would not have any games so that shows we only really have one company that will put games on this service not good. If for any reason ubisoft would say yep we are done with stadia that would be it that would just kill stadia at this point. So not to drag this on anymore all i'm saying is google can not go on with one company making games for stadia.
