@JakeFromSF  "@Classic-Rando   I'll just say that it takes longer than you seem to think. Especially since stadians Linux servers are very different than what's in Xbox or PlayStation"   Seriously you take 12 hours and that's all you come back with?  The money Google has access too, and the software devs already working for the company could be porting games over in their sleep, but they seem to have the same attitude that you do, in 2 or 3 years, we'll have lots of games.    1, in 2 or 3 years, unless Stadia fix their business model, we won't have Stadia in 2 or 3 years.  2, as another poster noted, Google barely seems willing to advertise the existence of Stadia. The sheer number of times I've heard "what's stadia" from decade long veterans of Wow, and people who have put between 5 and 10 thousand hours into Ark.  These are people who are true gamers, they put more money into games and equipment than most people spend on a mortgage, and these are the people who Stadia isn't catering too, it seems to be a system set up primarily for children (lots and lots of "kids games", and the "pro" subscription seems clearly aimed at kids who can get their parents to drop a few dollars a month on a subscription, but don't have the money to drop on AC:Valhalla pre order (something I want to do, and at this rate I'll end up doing it on another platform).    Stadia needs to decide what it wants to be, in competition with the big names in gaming, or a niche platform for kids who can't afford to buy real games.    I'm sorry if these posts have come across as me throwing "shade" or whatever you want to call it at the "pro" games, but to me, and an increasing amount of people it seriously seems like they are there to make up the numbers in the games catalogue, and make it feel like I'm "getting something" for my pro membership!

@JakeFromSF   YYou own the right to play the game on Stadia, a case could very easily be made that you therefore own the right to the stadia platform. It's a pretty standard contract clause when buying something entirely virtual that you "own the rights to the virtual thing", whatever it is, in this case a game, and the right to use the stadia platform. So if you buy a game, and don't break contract, ie ToS, or another offence that could get you banned, you basically "own stadia".  You can keep on arguing stupid points that you clearly don't understand, but you'll have to do it with someone else, it's midnight, I'm tired, and I feel like I'm picking on a toddler that doesn't understand what is going on around him. Goodnight @JakeFromSF, and before I go, 1 tip, don't punch above your weight, I learned this early on physically and metaphorically, it's genuine advice, what you choose to do with it is completely up to you

@JakeFromSF "Classic-Rando  5 mins... I wish!   "     Ever heard of hyperbole?  Yes 5 mins is an obvious exaduratuion for comedy purposes, but they could have got a ton more games done since November! Tell me I'm wrong, if you actually do understand what we're talking about, be honest, and tell me I'm wrong!

@JakeFromSF   "@Yodainmysoda1  you can't buy Stadia it's free you only subscribe if you want to, don't have to."    As soon as you buy a game, you essentially "buy" Stadia, and the right to use it forever.  Just because it isn't a physical console, doesn't mean you don't buy it,    I have quite an extensive background in law as well as hobby knowledge of most forms of IT, if it went to court I'm pretty confident I would win a case about someone "owning" Stadia, if they bought a game.

@JakeFromSF   "@Classic-Rando  yes they are different... That's what no one seems to grasp."   The difference is in the licensing costs, a good team of devs can port the game engine over in 5 minutes if you pay them enough. 
Also they've had since November to port games over, they manage to get a ton of crap done really quickly, but those pesky AAA games are somehow different?    Hmmm?

@JakeFromSF    " Random I simply think your expectations of what Stadia is and should be are very skewed. If you want AAA title right now and that's the only type of games you play. I feel sorry for ya."   1, that's Rando.  2, Google is one of the largest companies in the world, if it doesn't have the buying power to get the licences for more AAA games, then I'm Jeff Bezos.  3. It's just a case of the business model needing a little tinkering with 4. Why do you feel sorry for me, because I like to play good games? Odd, very odd.    PS, also I retired at 38, I'll never have to work or worry about money again, don't feel too bad for me.

@JakeFromSF " You guys know Stadia is bringing Serious Sam 4, Balder's Gate 3, FarCry 6, WatchDaogs Legions, Cyberpunk 2077, Avengers, Valhalla right?   This is great for Pro.   Thanks Stadia!"   All those games have been coming out for ages, with the exception of BG 3, which is being kept hush hush, all those games are being released on other platforms too, with pre order bonuses in the case of games like Valhalla, why not give us the same options on Stadia?    You're acting as if a few games that we've been told are coming out "soon" (which could realistically end up being several months) , and almost certainly later than other platforms is a good thing, it's not, it's the bare minimum, @StadiaTeam need to understand that the game catalog is what is keeping thousands if not tens of thousands of people from the platform. I've shown off Stadia to all my friends, even talked a few into getting on board with it, they all left after the initial month of pro, I even had a friend come round at about 2 in the morning as they were impressed by RDR2 (even though they already owned it on PC), and had decided to buy more games, after looking through the games catalogue, they were convinced that they just weren't looking in the right place, and that the ENTIRE GAME CATALOG, were just games being promoted this month, when I told them "sorry, that's it so far, but BG3 and CP 2077 are due for release, they asked a question I simply couldn't answer," so what am I supposed to play till then, and then why not just buy it on PC" he's a graphic designer and upgrading his PC is part of his job, so basically Stadia is just a better version of Steam Link to him.  Stadia needs games AAA games, good games, lots of them, now! There is a clear division between the comments already, those who just say "wow pumped for" recent games on Pro" and for some reason get masses of "kudos" for saying the frankly mostly garbage pro games that I've never heard of, and will never play more than 10 minutes each, and those who point out actual problems with the platform, from a genuine desire to try and help Stadia grow and succeed who nobody seems to "kudos". I've only been on Stadia for 2 months, and in that time, for me, the game catalog hasn't grown in any meaningful way, sure, there are more games, but am I ever going to play any of them? No.  The only good games that are on the platform are at least a year old (the closest thing we have to a new game is MK Aftermath), I could open my steam library, and just randomly pick out 10 games or so, all a year or so old (so presumably licencing issues shouldn't be a problem) , and all of a sudden you have thousands of hours of gaming to keep people happy. It's like this platform is being run by people with no experience with "hardcore" gamers, people who think BG3, CP 2077 and a couple of other games are going to keep people happy till the end of the year.  I'll have blown through all the new games coming out, if they're good I may be on my 3rd or 4th playthrough when I ask "what can I play next, oh, this looks good, initial release date (which will be pushed back twice) 4 months from now, and that's where I just cut my ties with Stadia.   I'm going to say this one last time for the @StadiaTeam release a lot of games for sale, stop concentrating on "Pro" if you release more good games that are already out, I'll keep "Pro" just for the deals, that's where it's usefulness ends for me anyway, and if the Stadia business model is reliant on lots of people having "Pro" then the people who maybe can't afford to buy whatever they want whenever they want will continue to use "Pro" for the free games, in the meantime, I'll still have "Pro" because so long as at least one game I want is on a special "Pro" sale each month, I Save the money I spent on the subscription, but if there are no games then I want to buy, I'm gone, and so is anyone else with "spending power", and we're the market you should be trying to tap into, not people who weren't even born when BG and BG2 were initially released, people who can't afford to buy Valhalla on pre release, but can afford a small subscription fee for (and let's be totally honest here) mostly garage games, games that sold so badly or are so poor, that you can afford to "give them away" for a few dollars a month.   I could go on all day, but I think you get the point, get the licencing rights to sell top tier games, lots of them, concentrate on that, not "Pro" and the rest will look after itself, either do that, or lose members as fast as you gain them.

Stadia,  You need more AAA games, and you need them fast, I joined stadia a couple of months ago, I'm pretty sure I'm still on my free "Pro" trial.    I'm lucky, I'm 42 and retired, my time is my own, and I generally spent my time behind shouted at for not paying any attention to the missus because I'm on some form of game.  I've been a "gamer" since before the word existed, when I used to play Pong on my Atari 2600, or Spectrum ZX81 etc.    When I first joined Stadia I was massively impressed I could essentially take my "computer" with me by clipping an Ozrly case onto my jeans or suit, and off I go.    Trouble is, I've played through AC Odyssey, RDR2, half way through FFXV, then all I'm left with is doom and Xenoverse + MK Afterlife, ie, I'm eating my way through your catalogue way faster than you've been adding to it, as most of it is made up by first person shooters (not my thing, same goes for driving games) and games that I've admittedly enjoyed playing for half an hour or so just for laughs, but if it comes between Monster Hunter and a Steam world game, I know where I'm going (PS, it isn't Steam world Dig).    So while Stadia has a few problems (no chat type function, extremely limited voice chat, and the controller can't power what I would consider a decent pair of cans (pretty much anything over £50, (out of my Bose, Sennheiser and all other headsets, the only ones with decent volume, are a pair I got free with a 10 year old Samsung phone) because they just can't power the drivers) I'm willing to stick with it, and even metaphorically "cheer" for it, I genuinely want this to be a success.   YOU NEED TO IMPROVE YOUR GAME CATALOGUE FAST, NOT JUST THE ODD GAME HERE AND THERE, THAT I'VE NEVER HEARD OF!  You need to be taking pre orders for AC:Valhalla and you need to be adding AAA games to the catalogue like the future of Stadia depends on it, because it does!    Get more, better games, and get them fast, or lose your playerbase before it even has a chance to take off, and sort out wireless headset compatibility, the fact you haven't already is a disgrace.    Apologies for the stern words, but they come from a sincere desire to see Stadia succeed!

I've given up trying to work out why huge companies price things the way they do, take the amazon fire HD 10, cost the same price in £ as it does in $, even though if you convert dollars to pounds, you realise that you're paying almost a third extra for the same thing in the UK. There's so many more examples, also the UK seems to be at least 6 months being the US with its new technology release dates.  If you buy something, it should cost the same price and the dollar and pound / euro cost should differ to reflect the exchange rate. 
comment made by mistaake, cant seem to find a delete button?
Gimme those juicy deals, mmmmmm.  Seriously though, more of this, fix the chat functionality, and you've got an unbeatable platform.

Whilst any games added to the catalogue is a good thing, Stadia need more AAA games ASAP, I know people that have already left the platform due to the lack of games.  That said, I've heard really good things about Celeste.  Keep building Stadia, make this platform the success it deserves to be.

Still getting better week by week! keep building up that game catalog, and keep adding the Pro games and deals and in a year or two there's going to be no need for a games console. Your going to be telling your kids off when the play actually reality games injected into their neutral network, shouting "in my day we had to have physical controllers and a TV!".  Come on Stadia, prove me right, if only to piss off all the haters! 
My Oneplus 8 pro has been screaming for that wireless support, I've said it before and I'll say it again, Stadia is the future of gaming!

"Ranked mode on PUBG available only when using Stadia Controler? How discriminating! That sucks. Can you explain why are you discriminating the mouse and keyboard"   Even though I'm not a fan of PUBG, this is the kind of nonsense that will push players away from the platform, is there a reason for this, or is it just to ensure the sale of the controller?  People who this doesn't affect will not use Stadia when they hear about things like this, it's akin to when Patreon banned Conservative users, and I lost somewhere in the region of a third of my Patreons who left the platform entirely as a form of protest!    Don't have one rule for controller users and one for mouse/keyboard, unless it's a hardware issue, you'll just piss people off. 
"I hope Final Fantasy 7 Remake will also arrive on Stadia!"   This, @StadiaTeam, please for the love of God make this happen! 
Yes on my PC, they're fine, deep bass, good midrange and crisp highs, volume goes up to eardrum hurting levels.

Hi Chris, like your discord posts. So how do I submit this feedback/thread through the app for review?   Edit, a bit of further input, I bought a pair of Sennheiser GSP 500s, and at full volume they are still very quiet, I maxed the volume of the Chromecast, the stadia app, and then it advised me to max the TV volume (which obviously wasn't coming out at the time), and it was still very quiet.
