Stadia doesn't cost anything per month to use. I can see how their horrible wording on the website and insistence on signing you up for the 10$ a month Stadia Pro can make it seem otherwise. I actually signed up and paid for a month because I thought it was necessary. I asked for a refund the next day and they refused me.

You can play it on any device (no chromecast necessary) with basically any input method. I'm a huge fan of the tech and would use it more often while traveling with a laptop if it had more than a handful of games. Or a search bar in the ux.

As usual Google does 80% of the work and gives up when it realizes the last 20% is the real hard stuff.

If they misled you into paying, that seems like straight up theft.


Fundamentally the responsibility is my own. They did not make my job discerning what I needed to use the service easy though.


Aren’t there refund laws that should require them to refund you 1 day into a month ling subscription?


No idea. It was $10 and I ended up using the Pro discount to make it worth it, so really no hard feelings!
