Let it go. Take the refunds and buy Steam games to play on GFN, Steam Deck, PC etc. The flexibility is there and more varied. Even if Stadia survived, I for one wouldn’t feel comfortable in purchasing another game now. The damage is done, time to move on with fond memories to more established services.  
So I've thought about this news overnight and whilst I am disappointed that the service is ending, I am pleased that refunds will be due. Having said that, if that is the decision, I'd rather have t... See more...
So I've thought about this news overnight and whilst I am disappointed that the service is ending, I am pleased that refunds will be due. Having said that, if that is the decision, I'd rather have the option of receiving refunds sooner rather than later because personally I'd rather not continue playing on a platform on a game that I might not finish by the 18th Jan (I play occasionally). I'd rather take the refund and invest elsewhere now to then start any games and build up progress....rather than wait until 18th January. This to me would be a more reasonable approach given that any time between now and the 18th Jan, I'm not going to finish anything anytime soon!. Therefore, perhaps give people the option to play up until the 18th Jan -or- they can elect to take the refunds sooner. Like if you agree

Really sorry to hear about Stadia, but as others have commented if you don’t have the big hitters in games then you’re always up against the likes of XCloud. RIP Stadia, at least they are refunding which is the right and moral thing to do.  
Hi I’m still waiting for a code. Unsubbed well before the offer and I’m in the UK.
Yep we can ask a zillion times and be ignored a zillion times! The same reason I unsubbed. It’s ridiculous. Looking forward to seeing FIFA 21 and FIFA 22 in the library….go away FIFA 21.
I cancelled earlier in Sept before the announcement about the incentive. Up to press I've not received an email inviting to re sub so perhaps this just is a random invite. A shame really.
Hmmm, seems like the offer for renewal and incentive is random. I cancelled my sub on the 9th Sept which then ended on the 14th. So far no such email asking me to resub with this offer. Ah well….
Thanks @frazazel I'm on the Stadia app on Android tablet. I guess that functionality isn't available unless someone knows the workaround for that? Thanks S

Hi folks, Since my original post (last year) I cancelled Pro and bought games as I liked and previously claimed as its the only way, bizarre as it is. Then I dip back in now and again on Pro when the sales are on. Another reason for dipping out is so I can then see the games I only really want in my library, i.e. my owned games. It's pretty infuriating that for two simple things i.e. purchasing claimed Pro games and then having my personalised view on Purchased games only, I have to unnsubscribe! That can't be right can it? I'd rather sub all the time as let's face it the cost is great value but I feel as though I'm forced to cancel to get specific options. Where is library management??? Why can't we unclaim games??? Why still can't we buy Pro games if we want to without unsubscribing??? What happens when Fifa 22 comes out and I don't want Fifa 21 showing up??? After all this time to see that the interface is still not having basic functionality is a shame.
Skyrim SE @ 60FPS - bring it on!

Hi, as an improvement, it would be good to see UK dates on here too. I've fallen victim to believing I've enough time to buy a game but with this being a US time limit, a little time before the expiry (I can't remember how much though) seems to be enough for the game to go back to normal price in the UK and I've missed out. Play it safe and buy a day earlier than the published US date if you're in the UK and you want a specific game deal

Merry Christmas Stadia and thanks for the past 12 months. I feel the pace of Stadia growing now and things are looking up. Thankyou for bringing a platform into which we can invest, and now for me with a little more confidence than at the outset. Here's to an even brighter 2021, and not just Stadia, but for everyone
Thanks guys got a refund from Support

I did pre order, but then cancelled unfortunately because the lack of Ray tracing is too big an issue for me even though the enticement of a premiere edition was on offer. I'll play it on GFN with RTX. Hopefully Stadia won't dither much longer and come to the party soon with upgraded hardware otherwise GFN will get more use and Steam or Gog will get my cash for RTX games.

Late last week I went a bit mad with the sales and bought a few games. One of them was Ghost Recon Wildlands. Now I haven't launched it and had second thoughts, so asked for a refund which has been refused....twice now! Why would this be? Is there not a 14 day period and limited play time? I don't get it. Can someone advise please? Thanks

Happy Birthday Stadia, 1 candle in the cake!! I haven't been using Stadia much lately to be honest due to work commitments, but it's there whenever I want to game quickly and conveniently, and because of that simple fact, it ticks all of the boxes for me. Here's to many more candles!

I'd like a showcase that give a glimpse into the Stadia vision by delving into the mission statement and selling to the masses. That, or games at Gamecomm etc showing the little Stadia icon next to the others when they announce the release dates etc. Its as though shows are just swerving the mention of Stadia as if it weren't relevant.

I agree @blockfighter  The 2K annual releases only really have a shelf life until .....well the next one, so if Stadia misses a few months of that shelf life, it kind of kills the need to buy it here. For me at least. Basically, if Fifa or other AAA aren't available on day one for me, that's no use so it'll get purchased for another platform which is really hard luck for Stadia and their sales opportunity sails by, but it is just is the way it is. Its about the immersion, excitement and community anticipation in the roll out of a mass release day one event and Stadia needs to be at that party! No same day release = risk of getting it elsewhere when I want it. Example Cyberpunk 2077 day release on GeForce Now = Steam purchase for me. However PGA Tour 2K21 day release on Stadia = Stadia purchase for me. Stadia need to step up a gear with arrangements with pubs and devs, otherwise they lose potential mass sales and with it momentum and pitch of this being a go-to service. A year in and I'm not yet convinced this is the go-to platform for me yet, but I won't sit on the fence forever if other games are waiting elsewhere, and I don't really want to run different systems if I can avoid that situation, so Stadia will lose out for me in the long run.

It's not a free service @Deleted User if you've invested in the purchase of games then to not pay a sub and only have those paid for games at a lower resolution (1080) and stereo. Don't get me wrong, you still have access to your purchased library, but I just wanted to point out it's a free service only with full fat paid games with no full fat features, so if anyone leaves this service with a paid games library, they are only getting access to them at a lesser quality which may be to the annoyance of those that feel they need to go elsewhere for the big titles. In hindsight, it may have been worthwhile buying those same games on a console which is backward compatable as a player would benefit from having those titles at full spec as well as Activision games etc which may not appear on here. Right now, Stadia is a gamble and they are taking us all along for the rollercoaster- at the moment I'm on the fence as to where to spend my cash for Valhalla, Watch Dogs and Far Cry.....Console is looking the best bet even though they will appear here but I don't want to build up a library here and elsewhere too....the only guarantee I have right now is that they will all be on console including the likes of COD no question.

Don't forget though that people without PC's will be able to also get Cyberpunk 2077 (On Day Release!) with PC quality graphics, probably at lower cost and lower subscription with all graphics features through GE FORCE NOW! Stadia needs a business plan and quick to entice people to stay on here otherwise rival cloud systems become too favourable very quickly and people don't want to fork out for multiple subs. GFN doesn't have any COD game so Stadia could really pull a rabbit out of a hat but for 2 things, any commercial tie-up's that Activision/Blizzard may have (with big hitters like Playstation and Xbox) and also whether the publisher wants to invest in the Stadia platform.
