Upvote for simultaneous Family play

Hi Stadia community, 1st we really do want family share lol! But Please upvote to show your support for Simultaneous family share. We have heard rumors that only 1 family member can play the game at a time although all families will have excess to the game. My opinion, that completely defeats the purpose of family play. Families want to play together without shelling out $$. I have a community in Virginia (of stadia customers/pro members) that have all signed it to show there support for Simultaneous family share!

I bet getting the rights to do this is the tricky part. Tbh, since we don’t technically own the game.

@AmericanBerg

I doubt any rights are involved. As far as I know nearly every game on Steam can be played via Family Sharing. Plenty of games are no longer sold on Steam for multiple reasons yet they're still shareable.

Other platforms have done it. Google needs to compete.
