@themightyant I felt mixed on the business model. I get that people don't like the idea of paying full price for streaming games, but I don't like the idea of subscription services... I prefer the ability of being able to purchase the games I want, and not being forced to play cherry picked content on a time limit cause you never know when the game will be removed.
@themightyant I already the FAQ. But i have games like Red Dead Redemption 2 and FF15 that paid and beat 3 years during the launch months. I'll be surprised if they honor a full refund for that.
I don't consider myself a fool for jumping on a sinking ship. As a tech geek and a gamer, the idea of Stadia interest me. It was a new space with interesting tech. I'm glad that I was able to leave my mark.
While Stadia didn't get any games. I still consider Stadia to be the best streaming service compared to xCloud, GeForce Now, Shadow PC... etc.
Google is an absolute embarrassment of a company. Say what you want about Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft, Apple... etc. They aren't scare to try and stick to thing that aren't successful off the bat even if it hurt their bottomline.
@themightyant Let's not give them kudos yet. We need to learn how easy it'll be to get the refund first. (Saying this as Stadia founder with a library of 30 purchased games)
And this is why I don't bother wasting money buying these PRO ELITE... EDGE... Whatever... etc controllers. If companies can't release a decent base controller without issue. I don't expect them to release a high end one without issues.
Microsoft also isn't a hardware company. Expecting them to release a decent hardware accessory is not going to happen. We've been lucky that the Xbox One/One S/ One X and Series X|S haven't had major issues.
@InterceptorAlpha I would say HellBlade and Forza Motorsports. Turn 10 is the only home grown Xbox studio that has repeatedly shown that they aren't incompetent, and can release quality release back to back to back on time.

The scary part about this whole situation is that one of the writer for this game is now the lead writer for Beyond good and evil 2.
