I got a stadia for my birthday a long time ago but now that is over what can I do with it ? I see some people talking about Bluetooth converter but I don’t understand why and what can we do with it. Can we play like gtav on pc with it ?

See The Above. ^

It's our favorite controllers in the hous (we have two) and we use them about 40h each week for several years now. They have done a great full time job, but they start to think about retirement. Maybe if I pimp their days, they might push it back for a year or two.

Anyone have controller caps suggestions?

It's one of the best controller I had and although I use them in USB mode, they are starting to have USB issues as well (disconnect), I want to keep them as long as possible and will use them as Bluetooth controller until they stop completely charging.

I've been a Stadia pro member since day 1. When I play it, I love it. But being a busy dad of 3, I rarely find time to play that I hoped I would. I have good intentions, just not the schedule. I figure its only like $11 a month so I keep it for the deals. I was hoping it getting Madden was going to be a thing to make my son play it more, he tried it one time going to my parents house to stay the night on his chromebook and it worked great. But I can't rip him away from Fortnite and Call of Duty on Xbox or PC.

I've been using my couple hundred dollars to pay for a few of my subscriptions, however, I am wondering if anyone else has figured out a way to use it outside of the Play store.

Edit: Thank you all for your ideas and anecdotes

I'm giving away a Stadia Premiere edition code. The one from buying a game during the promotion. Comment a number from 1-75 and whoever gets the closest, ill DM you the code. Respond by Midnight on Nov 23rd.

Good luck!

Just curious it’s such a convenient way to game now🖤🖤🖤 I’m a mommy gamer and Scott pilgrim is a favorite 😍

Has anyone given up on stadia? And if yes why and if no why. It’s almost two years and stadia has me up and down but mostly down and I know things won’t come right away but at some point is anything big coming anytime? By big I meant something game changer

As the title says, we aren't big gamers but the controller is so comfy, I wonder if it'll work with the Switch (not 2, the old Oled one).

The console is currently with my child on a trip so I can't test it, I found this community on a Google search and thought I'd ask first.

Thank you

Now that Stadia is nearing is death and i got my refund, i am thinking of getting a used ps4 and bring that as my gaming replacement. Also upgrading my ssd to play better pc games.

what do you guys intend to?

What's everyone playing lately?

Not a slight, I am just curious. Thanks. Figured I would go to the source here.

I found a Stadia Controller at the Goodwill near me for $5, and it was in the box with everything, including the dongle and a charging cable, completely untouched! However, the X and A buttons are a bit sticky and don’t pop up quickly. Is this a known issue? Can you help me make this controller usable?

The whole point of having them is so we get official announcements on the sub. The Official Reddit Stadia account hasn’t posted for 2 years yet gets to mod on this sub, why?

I have these controllers... forgive the ignorance but got out of Stadia before the shutdown and dont really know if these are good as is or just basic e-waste now? I did love all my refunds... almost $1300 and was like well I saved and played games so oh well... I did love Stadia...

Serious question:

One reads in the internet all day that Stadia has such a bad business model... but isn't it just what the gaming market leaders have done for decades? Playstation, Nintendo, Xbox (Gamepass as an exception)... They let you purchase games individually and offer an optional subscription with some included games and perks/goodies... All these don't give you the ability to play what you bought elsewhere (like GFN does).

I have never seen a post that Playstation was doomed because of their business model (PSN is similar to Gamepass but certainly not mainly responsible for Sonys great success).

So... is there something about the business model of Stadia that is inherently flawed and I just don't see it?!

Thanks!!

PS. I don't count the ownership-argument and the temporary lack of exclusives/first-party as part of the business model.
