@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.
