Suggestion : Demo/Rent Games

Xionergy — Sun, 24 Nov 2019 15:26:12 GMT

As the subject suggests, I propose the ability to play a demo or rent games to see how it will play with our connections. Some games are more suited for the latency of everyone's wildly different connection speeds.

@Xionergy Definitely something that I'd love to see as well! Make sure to send your feedback through the Stadia app to make sure it's recorded by Google.

Yes! They need to get Free Demos out in the wide!

Renting games is an interesting concept. I am not sure I am opposed to this idea. If price was right, I would probably do this.

I am not big on the subscription models, GamePass on Xbox would cost me more for games then I generally spend in a year. I tend to buy just one game a year.

I would love to see a Demo/Rent period for some games. I saw someone on reddit say they were able to purchase, play and refund a game within 15 minutes or so. I guess that's an option, but I'd rather not have my money tied up in a 3-6 day refund process to see if certain games are right for me.

2 hours play time, I believe.

Don't think it took long, heard it was very similar to refunds on the app stores.

"Free to play weekends" like Xbox would be a cool thing to do.
