Hi @Mwanahabari

Stadia is for every age!

You may want to check out the official Stadia Discord server for finding other players.

Far from being ageist, I think this is a good idea. I do not mean offence to younger players, but would prefer not to suffer the insults of a 16yr old in the chat (Stadia is really good for this actually, the bile and vitriol of other games platforms hasn't transferred across, thankfully).

I'm open to adding strangers as friends, something I'd never have considered on PSN or Gamepass, but would prefer to know peoples age range, so I (and you) can be selective.

So happy to say I'm in the 40 to 45yr old bracket. (Hence why I'm also rarely online)

I get what you guys are saying, especially being towards the older age bracket (mid-30s)... but the big issue here is about protection of younger players. There are unfortunately disgusting people out there and openly advertising age brackets is dangerous. Asking for older player to play with on the other hand is fine, so I have no problem with the OP but suggest it wouldn’t be good to add age brackets to gamers.

Yep, great point and one I didnt think about at all. Scrap the age bracket thing!!
