Poll: Google Stadia - CLOSING DOWN on 18th Jan 2023
On the plus side the controller might be the first piece of hardware Google has launched without a major issue.
Ive just been on to a customer service chap at Google in California who says he has no idea when i,ll get my invite code. They are aware of the issue but the codes are being rolled out to people in order of purchase date which i think is total bs. I ordered my founders pack quite late in September just before they sold out and fortunatley it arrived this morning yet some people who ordered on day 1 havent even had theirs despatched yet. I asked about an estimated delivery of the invite/redemption code and he said it could be days or even weeks and that he just didnt know for sure.
Its a really poor show from Google,a huge **** up.

Clueless basically. Looks like this will see me out for a year then off to PS5, a stop gap, bit of a gadget (an expensive one though)....a bit of joke around. Not to be taken seriously, on par with the big boys that is. This is what Stadia feels like overall.
Can you image if Sony or Microsoft did this next year on release, unthinkable.

I ordered mine on 7/6/19, still waiting for code

Xcloud is going to be apart of game pass. Rather have that as a bolt on as and when needed in the home tbh. Use the switch when out and about, really can't see this taking of at all.
Yeah. That would be a much better. It would actually be a good USP for buying your games from Microsoft or staying subbed to their game pass as you can then stream your games the same way as Stadia if you chose to. Much better to have the option to playing your games traditionally or via streaming.
Steam will offer such a thing eventually I recon. Even if there is a small cost to it it would give you the option to play your steam library streamed like Stadia. Steam will probably do it in the next 5 years as the tech advances and we all get better broadband.
I received my google stadia today but no code so I’m unable to use it. I bought it for football manager thinking this would be cheaper way than buying a pc or laptop.
I have Xbox one x, switch and PS4 but stadia will be used for football manager and other point and play strategy games such as sim city type games for me.
I always game using Ethernet, cable connected to controller when I play online

Lol, still no code?
Football Manager type of games will be perfect for Stadia, you won't be able to tell the difference.
I was thinking of making my Stadia tag "wheresmycode?" but probably taken by now
can we create a name tag or do we have to wait for the code lol
No idea. I am guessing wait though
Nope, broken. Games cannot be played due to what appears to be a 'platform' breaking bug https://www.reddit.com/r/Stadia/com...amp&utm_medium=&utm_content=comments_view_all
Cleared Stadia app cache, reinstalled, no change. Note 10+ 5G on Android 9.

Request a refund. They really screwed the launch up.
The wired connection for the controller isn't always faster on consoles.
UPDATE: You MUST 'link' your Stadia account with the Chromecast Ultra, therefore not requiring the phone app. This fixed the issue but dear God Google...
I have no enthusiasm to play now, too tired & annoyed but have rest if the week off.

The gamers nexus review was savage haha.
If Stadia survives this launch then I'll be surprised.
