Are the reports true? Is Google Stadia closing it’s doors?  No, they will stay open. How long though without exclusive games to bring new “blood” over to the platform? That’s the real question I think we as the community should be asking.  I have been seeing a lot of reports showing that Google is decidedly shutting down Stadia Game Studios with Phil Harrison the VP and general manager of Google Stadia saying increased costs are the reason for the procedure. Whether this is due to Jade Raymond leaving as well is yet to be determined.  I also saw a YouTube video here reporting Google Stadia Shutting down. - https://youtu.be/oaDR0fI-J_s   So what’s the deal? First the question is that Stadia has had a very increased rate of respect and success. I have really been enjoying what it has to offer. Couldn’t this simply be fixed by increasing the cost of memberships to 14.99 a month? Or even 19.99 for exclusive access to new games being developed?  If costs were the only reason surely a new model could be used to rectify the situation they are facing.    Next the question is what happens to all the purchases? Are the customers being sold off to another platform along with the access to their games?  Most likely in some form they will remain alive. But without new games there’s no fresh blood being pumped into the platform to keep it “living.” A lot of news reports suggested that when Stadia was launched they wouldn’t bebt on it as Google has a habit of dropping projects. This was one of the main reasons that kept me away for so long. I decided to jump in because from what I was seeing they were going all in and that this would be different.    Sadly this is not the case. Google have no idea what they are throwing away. This is the next big bubble, and they had an early start and rocky one at that sure; but they have been turning heads and putting optimism in those where there was none. Lately the games they have been bringing over and their execution has been well received. I for one think what they have been doing and how they have gone about it, has been absolutely stellar. They should keep it going. New games being developed is an absolute MUST otherwise it’s just another platform with no exclusives. And we all have seen how well that worked with other systems. It doesn’t work, it creates a sinkhole for the rest of the platform to fall into.  Who else feels differently or agrees?

Hey there, Will you please re-run the promotion for Cyberpunk 2077 with the Stadia Premier bundle?  I have been a pro member and a large problem I have come across; is not knowing when these promotions were even running. I was actually looking for one similar to the YouTube promotion and so I began to check the app, as was mentioned to me; when I talked to a rep explaining, how I missed the promotion. This is the second one I have missed out on, because I did not know where to go but the app. I checked it 3x a week and never saw a promotion for Cyberpunk 2077. I did see however that it came to Stadia and was shown on the front store page but nothing of a promotion was ever mentioned.  The getting started video also never explains how to find the promotions running.  It’s was further complex in my mind because I was talking on the phone; to over 3 reps when this promotion was running (and it was on a separate issue) and they never once brought it up. Even after I asked one representative (who I saw as quite knowledgeable) where to find promotions. He told me to go to the App Store and be sure to look on the store page each day.  My younger brother and I would like to play together. The problem is he didn’t have the money yet for a controller. If I had known about this promotion I would of purchased it immediately, since I planned on getting Cyberpunk 2077 anyway. I am currently separated from my family due to the covid virus. It would mean so much to me if this promotion would run just one more time and, I now know how to be aware of them. (The supervisor told me and was the only one who did so to be quite honest.) I also own my own business and can reflect to some degree the kinds of decisions you are making to attract new and keep an existing customer base. I have suffered a severe delimitating concussion from a battery install for a friend in the trunk of car, where the battery is placed. During this however I have had to run promotions for my own physical exercise rehabilitation business and I know how important it is; that those who are not aware of who we are and what promotion we are running, need to be able to find out. I am not telling you or any of your staff how to run things or that I could do it better.  No and far from it, all I am suggesting is you re-run the promotion again and place it on the store page if possible so everyone can see it before Christmas. Perhaps the developers of this title would benefit from it also and I would think it would be an amazing way to bring even more people to Stadia platform and keep the existing paying pro members, due to the courtesy that would evidently be shown. Perhaps the supply chain of the premier bundles being limited are a concern. I am sure that if you did decide to re-run it; those who receive a premier bundle would be okay to wait patiently until you have the needed supplies and resources to ship out. Even if this took into the first quarter of the new year. And it would mean more to us, to have an offer resurrected; that others like myself, may have missed out on. And be okay to wait a few extra weeks for the arrival of the said package.  I think what has been happening with this particular platform has been just terrific! And frankly I can’t stop raving about it to everyone I meet; when we touch on a relatable subject. Stadia truly has become my platform of choice and makes the most sense to me.  So much is going on in the holidays (especially this year) and it’s not a common thought to go to forums for promotions. It’s expected that these would be front and center all over the apps front page. Clearly this is evident from the reps I spoke to. I have now missed out on two promotions that I was eligible for, all because I was not made aware of them. Perhaps even a newsletter could be sent out to those who be willing to subscribe to it by email. Personally this is the first time I ever have wanted a newsletter from a company willingly.  If you don’t re-run it, I still will be looking forward to the flare of offers You and your team decidedly come up with. However if you do decide to run it, not only would it mean so much to me and my little brother but to those who missed out like me once or multiple times because they didn’t know where to find the information for the promotions.  Thanks for the amazing support and hope you and your families have a Merry Christmas! 
I did that, and it only shows one of them
in my profile it says there are two topics started but ”on” my profile it shows latest posts as only one. there is one missing - what happened to it? And how can I view the other one not showing? 
I see it now?! But I didn’t before... it says created 2 topics but I only see one. Where is the other one?? so I created one - my first post and question and then this one. I only see this one.... See more...

For the life of me I can’t find where I can view posts I created. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Will you please re-run the Cyberpunk 2077 Stadia Promotion again?  It makes it hard to know what promotions are running especially when there is nothing about where to find the information in the “getting started video.” I have been opening the app frequently 3x a week and have been a pro member and I have missed out on now two promotions. This one I missed recently I am more particularly upset about because I was going to purchase this game anyway.  It further is complex in my mind because I was on the phone with two reps during this promotion and not one of them mentioned it to me... And my brother wants to play together so he was going to purchase a controller. If I had known about this I would of been able to kill two birds with one stone.  please as a courtesy will you re-run this promotion one more time? I now know, where to look for promotions. It would be so much better if it was on the app.  I have have decided to be a lifelong member and Stadia truly is my platform of choice! I have recently suffered a severe concussion from helping a friend install a battery in a car. It goes in the trunk and the rods went bad and it collapsed on my head. This 8 week recovery time caused me to miss the first. However I very much would like another opportunity at this promotion. Please will you consider re-running it one more time before Christmas? It would mean so much to me and others I’m sure. I am sure the developers would appreciate it and you had such an overwhelming response last time. I know I can speak for myself when you will with me as well as others who missed out. it’s been so frustrating to be a member and miss out on not one, but now two promotions.
