With you on that one @GreatOmegaX  They say common sense isn't that common. The naming convention at sign up was confusing. I thought that I could select any name and if it was taken, then I just choose another name. The numbers are irritating to put it mildly. I have Xbox and Xbox has it simply nailed.... It's tough trying to follow the Stadia rationale here. As I say common sense etc etc....

The marketing around the release has been quite low key which surprises me. I do hope thought that it isnt going to be pulled due to any late bugs etc. Communication is the key.
Ditto! Perhaps 3pm ish in line with EDT?

Library options do need to be looked into and I agree that the basics of either removing or simply hiding games needs to be there. Whilst I chose to review some of the claimed titles, I now decide that I no longer want them either because I have completed them or simply they aren’t my style of game once reviewed. The cynic inside me says that there’s likely no option to remove or hide titles possibly for 2 reasons. One being that Google want Pro subscribers to see what they are missing if they ever left subscription, and the other potential is that there’s the advertising of games every time you go to the games list- games show up and software houses rely on exposure of this nature to a degree. Probably none of the above, but we do need what is in essence basic features of a remove or hide function. It’s simple basics and in-line with how I’d expect to manage a personal library of content. Another area of the library which would benefit from the above is when games are claimed and then purchased. Case in point being Metro Exodus. I claimed this game and then went further and bought the gold version which includes the base games and all DLC’s. Now in Stadia, my games list shows that Exodus is a Pro game. It is not (or it was but then I upgraded to purchase) and therefore it shouldn’t show as a Pro game anymore. Because of the lack of options to hide or remove Pro games, or other, the library is going to get messy as time moves on and the benefits are there to have remove or hide options.

Thanks @Mogoz . Ok nearly there...... I can get the games running but the Stadia controller doesn't work in that I get a mouse dialogue box pop up when certain buttons are pressed. Have you managed to get around this one? Xbox one controller is fine (partly) apart from that it doesn't have all the buttons I.e. how to get to the map in The Division 2. Hope that tablet support isnt too far away so that we can do away with all of the tweaking.

I'd just like to follow up on my post around Eastertime and the Stadia deals. I'd like to thank Stadia and publishers for the plentiful deals recently on offer and I've taken advantage of a number of them recently, including Assassin's Creed just now!! Thanks Stadia & publishers. Appreciated!

Hi apologies for the long delay in response here but I thought I'd share that I can't get the tablet working per @Nightcrow comments above. Sure I can get the game to start but just can't get any controller recognising Stadia on the tablet despite being able to use Xcloud, GFN without issue with an Xbox controller on the same device- so basically I just cant get Stadia working on the tablet with Stadia or Xbox controller, wired or wireless. Anyone getting this working with controller support care to share step by step setup info? I'd be very grateful. Thanks

The event was mainly aimed at younger players I thought. It wasn't a disaster but as an older player liking more serious games i saw nothing to appeal. I didn't like all the cartoony games. EA announcement was good but why do we wait until the end of the year when Star Wars is out on other platforms now? No tie up with Ubisoft or new AC game I thought Stadia might steal a head start there. Overall I built up in my head an event that largely under delivered, but that's just my opinion all so I appreciate others might have found it great. That's what opinion is all about

A bit disappointed theres been no movement on an Easter sale. Had hoped for an official comment on one. Have to get those deals for other platforms offering Easter discounts elsewhere this time. Never mind Stadia has missed a big trick here especially with the new audience.

I mentioned in another thread of just missing out on the recent deals, but with Easter here it would have been nice to see a lengthy list of offers similar to what other services are offering around their game prices this time of year. Any chance of extending on the small number currently on offer to compliment that 2 month sub offer? We are all sat at home with an option to play so some good deals right now would be just the ticket. Thanks all. Kudos if earned

Thanks @Streamer  and @Mad_Dog_Bravo for your input. I take your points onboard and the statement needed to be clearer, hence my original query. It would be useful to purchase claimed games as I see it as a win for the publisher, the purchaser and Stadia however I see now why the latter may not do this if there is enticement to tie in Pro subscribers by not giving the option. To conclude I see this as a bit of a slap in the face to those of us who have up to press been on board from the outset and would like to purchase the game. But hey ho. However, it is what it is and we all move on. Thanks for your input both

Hi @Streamer that's interesting, disappointing and confusing then as the statement reads that it is available to Pro Members. I wanted to buy it so I have the option to play if I ever leave Pro. Why can't I do this? As it stands the statement is false and misleading and needs altering if what you state is the case because it is not available as the statement reads currently would you agree? However I trust this is a simple fix to allow purchase? Please advise either way. Thank you.

Hi @Ivan I have claimed Tomb Raider Definitive Edition a few months ago as a free game. That is on sale now. For some reason I do not see an option to buy. Just play. Other games on sale like RDR show the price but not for Tomb Raider. So...Per the announcement, how do I do this.... Stadia Pro subscribers can buy each of these excellent games now at a significantly reduced price.

Hi as per the question, I want to buy a game on offer at the moment but I have no option to buy. We are told.... Stadia Pro subscribers can buy each of these excellent games now at a significantly reduced price. This week’s deals: Red Dead etc etc. How do I do this please as a Pro subscriber per the statement provided?

Can I make a suggestion and put games on permanent sale for pro users. I cant see the point of having pro if we just get to revert back to full fat (overpriced) amounts same as none pro members. Where's the benefit? I mean seriously, the current price of AC Odyssey for a title nearly 2 years old is crazy. Please make the sales perm for pro. That way you might entice people to pay for the service via continual subscription. You make the money back through continued subscriptions. I missed the recent sale due to waiting to be paid now I feel I lost out. It would be good to get more regular sales options at least. If not possible to have a title on perm sale, there should be a sale of some sort on perm offer on a game rotation basis at least for pro subscribers I reckon.

I agree @jayo2k tunnel vision from these companies are denying themselves potential sales. My own pc died a few months ago. Theres no way I'm buying a new one....hello Stadia but also gfn. Shame on companies (they know who they are) hurting progress with cloud expansion services like gfn and denying their already existing customer base from playing legit purchases games. Bravo companies like Ubisoft and many more who realise the vision and opportunity. The more options for the consumer for cloud without strangling it at the first hurdle needs to be at the forefront of the industry priorities.

I disagree @ARGAH gfn is useful to those who can buy, not tied to a specific platform and see the benefit of not having to update new hardware for already owned digital games. I subscribe to stadia and gfn. The way some shameful developers are approaching (rather distancing) gfn for their own greed is nothing short of robbery if you own Steam games in my opinion. I for one won't entertain double dipping into games I've already if I already own on Steam and this is where gfn shines. Call it a principle thing. If Stadia had gone a different model, heck I'd have paid a fortune per month to play my back catalogue of 140 games from Steam. Somehow personally I think there was a missed opportunity here.
Grid and 2 Steamworld games announced for March. 3 in total.
