@mfz Google can only give refund for something that they sell with proof of purchase. In this case, as long as the product is being sold from Google Store, you will be refunded. The receipt is the proof of purchase. If you don't have the receipt, then they have no obligation to give you a refund. This is not something special Stadia, I'm sure you're already well aware.
The Stadia controller was also given away as part of partner giveaways, given free as part of Cyberpunk and Resident Evil promotion, and many other things. Same case with Chromecast ultra, which have been sold way before Stadia exist.
If Google is just going to blindly refund people for owning the devices, how can they determine the actual value of the devices and make sure they were part of Stadia purchase? I could have owned Chromecast Ultra in the past, decided to use it to play Stadia on TV, then claim for a refund and say that Iost the controller that came from the Premier package. Many people purchased Cyberpunk and got a Stadia controller for free as part of the promotion. Do you think they deserve getting a refund?
If you have no more faith buying Google products, then you should stop. Vote with your wallet.
