What happens to games I bought in PRO with discount, after PRO?

What happens to games I bought in PRO with discount after PRO?

Are they available in the FREE/BASE version of Stadia?

Besause I´m not sure what the PRO logo means in this context?

When I buy a normal priced game (which has no PRO logo) it´s mine and available in FREE/BASE.

Does the PRO logo means the offer (reduced/discounted price) is only available in PRO, or does it mean the game belongs to PRO, although after paying?

Thanks for clarification.

Regards,

Valerian75

Hi @Valeria75

If you buy a discount games thanks the Pro subscription, after stopping the subscription, the game will still yours without any additional cost.

@Valeria75 If you purchased a game (with/without discount) during your Pro membership, you get to own the game regardless of your Pro status.

Rule of thumb - if you spent money to purchase the game, then you get to own it as long as Stadia exists (well legally you own the rights to play the game, but that's a different topic)

@Valeria75

Morning,

Any game claimed for free on Pro is available to you while you have pro sub.

Once you are no longer a pro subscriber you loose the free games. The games you purchase on pro are yours to keep even if you stop subscribing.

Any game on pro is still available on base you just have to pay for it.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions

Ok, many thanks for clarification,.

Is there also an option to buy out an only in PRO existinig free game from the library (not in the store), so I can play it in the FREE?

@Moosemaninc , ah I now saw you also answered my new question.

There's also a workaround for if you don't think you'll always be a Pro sub so that you can buy a game you've claimed if it's on sale. It was discovered by Gem (the absolute Gem of a Youtuber) and they posted the process on their channel:
