Hi again @Ivan, While it is technically correct that I never really used the product, how it is (technically) relevant to my question? I understand the Chromecast will keep working, though I probably will not use it much - will prefer Amazon Fire TV devices, which I also have anyway, and they still supported (even though they are based on an a very old version of Android). Also when Amazon devices will become too old, I still will be able to trade them for a new Amazon device and Amazon would not care if I purchased them directly... I hope you (and somebody from Google who hopefully reads this) get the point. I hope you understand yourself that Stadia as wired controller is kind of useless in modern times... "The only loss" is a dead service and Google is taking responsibility for that, which is good. Of cause they cannot really compensate those indi developers, but Google is willing to pay back for games, which is a much higher expense than the controller. My point is: it should be Google's best interest to reimburse any purchases of Stadia devices, regardless where and how they were purchased. I was an early adopter of Google products from the time Google was born. I have a box full of devices Google decided not to support anymore (Chromebooks, tablets, watches, Nexus Player, router). I have an Android TV which I use with Amazon Fire Stick only since the TV is stuck with Android 8 and not being upgraded (yes, it is the vendor who is responsible for the upgrade, but it is Google who selects vendors and allows them to put Android logo on the product). I hope you agree that it is hard to trust new Google products and hard to recommend them to friends who trust my technical skills... I really hope someone from Google reads this. Thanks
