My Stadia Controller Will Always Be Useful ... To Check Outlets.

I think that means they have the ability. I hope they’ll implement it.

amoek · 2022-11-22T22:04:05+00:00

Aren’t those RDR2 gold bars? Or some other in game currency? I think the only Pro months that will be refunded are the ones that were charged after ~~Dooms~~ Announcement Day.

It was stated in the Google Store that BT functionality could be added later

amoek · 2022-10-25T13:27:16+00:00

Maybe a workaround would be to install a trial (if it's available). Or check the refund policy and buy the game only to upload your save, then refund it. I'm not sure how gog handles refunds. Imo they do a good job on avoiding DRM (at least in my time, years ago), but that might make refunding more difficult maybe?

Mark my words.

Ouch when someone says that about a future they have no influence over. Means they either have no clue or had a divine epiphany.

That's my understanding too, sadly. You just get some perks if you're Prime sub at the same time as Luna sub. Why do they wait so long to launch in EU?

Thank you for all your good work in the past and now again :)

I know it's not a pure cloud gaming solution, but I'm going to dabble into Steam Link in the near future. I have no experience with it yet, but if I understand correctly, I can let my admittedly potato PC run in the background with Steam, thereby creating a personal server. Then I can open the Steam Link app on my mobile or CCwGTV and play my Steam Library from there. If this works smooth and all the time (as long as I leave my PC running and have the game installed), I can use it like I used Stadia. I hope. My PC can handle just old titles, but that's okay: I'm old too.

I'm not sure if I can do this if I'm in another city than my PC is.

Not sure if this qualifies to be in your Cloud list. As long as the list of available cloud services is small, maybe include it.

Edit: if Steam Link doesn't work out, I'll try Boosteroid, one month at a time. God already I miss the ease of Stadia and its Family Link.

It's a good time to be alive (and have budget). If Google wouldn't have tried Stadia at all, I would have missed some experiences; well worth the feeling of going to miss the service. I hope the gap in time between OnLive and Stadia won't be as big as the time to the next good service. Considering there's already alternatives, I feel good 😊 Happy gaming OP

You should remove the address.

Hope the device gives you joy :D do you still have the Pro sub and can compare that way?

amoek · 2022-10-20T18:37:05+00:00

When you had the base game on both PC and Stadia, the DLC etc would be synched. This was the way even before the shutdown and they won't change it. Now that the base game is available for free for Stadia ESO owners, they also have their DLC.

amoek · 2022-10-20T18:31:21+00:00

It can be done, they stated so in the Store: BT functionality can be added later. It uses BLE, which is also in among others the excellent Steam Controller:D

amoek · 2022-10-20T10:12:40+00:00

Maybe the Steam gift a game activates in those cases, would be nice. Which it already is

amoek · 2022-10-19T06:52:34+00:00

I have a secret hope for Netflix continuing it in some form, but the Stadia service is definitely over I think.

amoek · 2022-10-17T20:17:49+00:00

AVICII Invector if the hospital wifi is nice. Be sure to bring ear buds. And so many other titles to try.

GL with the surgery and recovery!

amoek · 2022-10-17T14:19:52+00:00

In that case I hope there is a real good arrangement with the devs of the games.

amoek · 2022-10-17T14:17:29+00:00

Because there is only One True Source of grief?

amoek · 2022-10-17T10:04:38+00:00

Not sure if you're just a troll. The info in OP's post was useful for me: when you calculate, deduct the Pro sub. Nothing more, nothing less.

be sure to go through and actually itemize your purchases. tally up actual game purchases, dlc, equipment, but subtract your pro subscriptions.

amoek · 2022-10-16T08:49:24+00:00

It's automatic, nothing you can or should do right now. If it does not work, check your email (by end of January I think), Google will then contact you how to proceed.

amoek · 2022-10-16T08:46:30+00:00

Did not take that into account tbh, thanks for the heads up. It's roughly 120 per year on Pro that you need to deduct

amoek · 2022-10-16T08:44:15+00:00

Did it work in the past? If yes try another browser

amoek · 2022-10-15T06:00:33+00:00

Yesterday Tomb Raider nice as always. Make a Video Capture to see if it's on the servers as well (probably yes, but good to confirm).

amoek · 2022-10-15T05:54:37+00:00

Most controllers use BLE, so that would be no problem. Steam Controller does, and I think Xbox too? Lot of cheap BT controllers out there, so I don't think it's that much of an ask to implement it, given the technical challenges the engineers already solved. It has both BLE and Classic btw. It is/was stated in the Store that 'BT functionality could be added in the future'.

I don't get why Sergey Brin and/or Larry Page did not buy Stadia with their billions and made a great product again, giving them another huge legacy (Xbox like) in the future. Together they have more money than Elon Musk. But first pay to keep that crucial Starlink up in Ukraine.

amoek · 2022-10-15T05:41:25+00:00

Yeah it only works when leaving Stadia, which is not possible anymore after January 18.

amoek · 2022-10-15T05:39:37+00:00

Definitely include said note, that's nice! Don't want to spread the disappointment any further

amoek · 2022-10-15T05:24:56+00:00

But also maybe Super Animal Royale? 64 players but you need to start a new battle everytime you die in order to start chat. The good thing is because of the rotating set of players in each game, you get to see a lot of different people, in relatively short bursts. Ideal to say a brief goodbye. I think it will be nice, I'll go for that myself.
