Hi all, First of all, Well Done to Stadia for continuing to bring us games at a steady stream and I am looking forward to some of the AAA titles in the coming weeks and months, none more so than the PGA Tour 2K21 title later this month. Now I do have an issue with one of the rcent releases....I must say that I am concerned to see that whilst Strange Brigade has made it's way on to Pro (hoorah!), it isn't quite the full version to claim as Pro!!! As a Pro member, I've been hyped to hear that this is coming to Pro over the last week or so and Stadia has provided the good news about it's inclusion....but that's only half the story! Today, I find that I can claim the 'BASE' game and if I want the full GOLD/Definitive (or whatever it is called) version, I need to fork out over 60 pounds!!! Now I fully understand that there is a business to be run and money to be made, but surely Pro members should be getting the FULL versions of these games? The business model works in a way that Stadia wants to I guess in that if customers then buy the add-on's, they are hooked to continuing the subscription to play the base game, however I am not a fan of this approach. If Stadia wish for me to part with cash of the equivalent to a 'recent' AAA game, then development resource time needs to be put to good use on new 'recent' games, rather than one which, and let's be honest here, can be purchased for a fraction of this cost on other store front's and played via other services for a lesser monthly amount. So, is Strange Brigade worth the top price here? That is up to the individual, but given the cost, the length of time the game has been out and the competition for my hard-earned cash across other far newer games to consider, my money is staying put. Suggestions: Provide games that are beinng offered as Pro with their full GOLD add-ons at no extra cost. Concentrate on bringing games at the >60 pricepoint which are new/newer. If Stadia wish to continue to provide base as opposed to full fat prior to launch, then please be honest and up front with the customer base as to what it is that Pro users will be getting- i.e. full fat, or base games and advertise accordingly in the run up to launch. All in all, a great service guys....but a little more on enticing Pro users with full versions, being realistic on the cost of older titles and being a little more descriptive prior to launch on what we get more wouldn't go amiss
