Yeah I still feel the same about it at the beginning, because I heard as well that Stadia is the "netflix of games", but yeah, as soon as you dig a bit deeper through the content, you'll see it's a Platform with two possibilities: Having a Stadia Pro subscription with 4k resolution + Dolby Surround (which both doesn't apply always as we recently learned) and some games for free. At the moment only Destiny 2 and Samurai Shodown, in December Farming Simulator 19 and Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition and who knows what else will come to Stadia Pro in 2020. In addition you have to buy other games on your own if you like. (P.S: I still don't know what happens if you bought a game and then it's included for free later on... is there a refund then?) Having Stadia Base, which allows you to use Stadia without any costs (less resolution + less soundquali), but you have to buy every single game you want to play. Stadia Base is not even available yet, so it's coming 2020. It would be nice though to have the ability of a "Stadia Pro Pro" which allows you for a specific price per month to play EVERY game possible on Stadia without additional costs. But I am not really sure, if Google would do that, because it's just easier to only provide a platform and allow developers to put their games on. Would be nice though to have that (depending on the costs of course).   

I am very sorry what happened to you, it must be frustrating to order a founder's edition and then get a premiere edition. Though I understand your frustration, I still think the Google support is the only one who can help you in this case (if it is even fixable, I have no idea). All we can do in the community forum, is giving you a shoulder massage and say "everything will be fine".

Same for me, unless the prices are dropping as a sale on Stadia to an acceptable amount that is at least the same as on Amazon, it doesn't make sense for me to buy a game on Stadia, because it's otherwise a huge amount of money. And I am not rich, so yeah, I'll probably stick at the moment with my Mortal Kombat 11 and Destiny 2.

Nice new update from the Stadia Team: Farming Simulator 19 and Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition are coming for Stadia Pro as free games: "Our Stadia Pro lineup keeps on growing! Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition and Farming Simulator 19 are both coming to Stadia Pro in December. Just log-in & redeem them at no additional charge with Stadia Pro. Check out our blog for additional details → https://community.stadia.com/t5/Stadia-Community-Blog/New-Games-Coming-to-Stadia-Pro-in-December-2019/ba-p/5892 " That's pretty nice though

@TVE2020 if you still haven't received your code by now, the Stadia-support Team can help you out and send you one. The only thing you need is the Serial number of the founder's edition (should be no problem, because you have it) and the order-number (you can find this one in your profile > orders on store.google.com or also on your transaction in pay.google.com).

mh okay @Skyv , du könntest noch versuchen, die Schritte aus dieser Anleitung für die Stadia App durchzugehen und auch die Google Dienste (Services). Am Besten nach jedem Schritt probieren, ob es dann funktioniert. Falls das aber auch nicht hilft, würde ich vorschlagen, dass du dich an den Stadia Support wendest, eventuell ist das Problem dort schon bekannt oder das Team kennt noch weitere Schritte.

Just out of curiousity: As Stadia-Team is telling that you should contact the developer with issues with their game: Did anyone of you already contact them? I am be very curious about their answer: Are they actually on it to get a fix done or are they just blaming on Google and therefore the ball is just thrown from Google to Square Enix and back?

Yes @Gougagna, you'll regain access then to your claimed free games, see here: What happens to my claimed free games if I’m no longer a Stadia Pro subscriber? If your subscription to Stadia Pro expires, you will lose access to your claimed free games. When you reactivate your subscription, you will regain access to your claimed free games with your save data intact. Source: Claiming free games with Stadia Pro

Yeah I mean as a result, as soon as Stadia Base comes out, Google must not wonder about the fact that a lot of players would switch to the free-service, when they are not able to get 4k on every game with Stadia Pro. I mean, why paying 8.99 GBP for example, when you only get the Dolby Surround and some free games (which are most of time not even the game that you really like). As long as I see those issues with the 4k, I don't know if Stadia Pro makes so much sense to renew when the 3 months for free ran out. At least for me.

Hey @Maximilian, where have you seen that "The Crew 2" might be a launch title? In the Google Store, where the founder's and premiere edition was available, there was since the beginning only this lineup shown: https://store.google.com/product/stadia_games I guess other games are still in discussion with the developers or in planning (some of the games mentioned in the list above are not even released in any way, like Cyberpunk 2077 or Baldurs Gate III). Hope for you that it'll be released soon. If you want to get attention from the developers for your wish, it might be worth to also leave feedback in the Stadia App.

Did you order a founder's or a premiere edition? If you ordered a Premiere edition, Grace just announced: "Happy Monday! Premiere Edition orders will start shipping today and codes will begin going out today as well. Thank you all again for your patience. " If you ordered a Founder's edition, and your order has not even shipped, check if your payment went through on pay.google.com or contact the Google Store-Team to find out what happened to your order. If your package is on the way already and you just need the code, but didn't get it, try to contact the Stadia team to receive one as a founder.

Same here as in the forum ^^ Chufu is another form of Cheops (keyword pyramid in Egypt), in English normally known as Khufu. Khufu's full name (Khnum-khufu) means "Khnum protect me". I found that very suitable a few years ago when I started to study egyptology, so it's my nickname in a lot of games now.

Wouldn't it also be possible to pay with Google Play Balance? Normally I would think that PayPal is activated for Stadia as well, because PayPal is an accepted payment method for Google purchases (see here). Might of course be, that Stadia is an exception, but for everything else it works fine. Are you able to put PayPal on pay.google.com and then try again to activate the Pro subscription?

Exactly @codesplice I guessed this would look nice as well, but the FE-version is in my eyes still the most beautiful, therefore no other colour would risk to beat that in my eyes, but yeah, colours are always definetely a personal opinion. Just wondered, which colours are preferred here from everyone.

That's a nice idea, I could imagine that from Steam where you can see as well which one of your friends has this game also purchased or on the wishlist and which game are they playing at the moment (when they are live). That would be a cool feature! Would recommend though that you also leave feedback for this in the Stadia App, because the developers are probably not reading this forum that much as they are reading the feedbacks probably more.
