They are doing full refunds including hardware.
Q: Will I get a refund? What is available for a refund?
A: We will be offering refunds for all Stadia hardware purchases (Stadia Controller, Founders Edition, Premiere Edition, and Play and Watch with Google TV packages) made through the Google Store and software transactions (games and add-on purchases) through the Stadia store. Stadia Pro subscriptions are not eligible for refund, however you will be able to continue playing your games in Pro without further charges until the final wind down date.
Q: Do I have to return my hardware to get a refund?
A: Most hardware purchases (Stadia Controller, Founders Edition, Premiere Edition, and Play and Watch with Google TV packages) made directly from Google will not need to be returned. More details on how to obtain a refund for your Stadia hardware purchases will be posted here in the coming weeks.
oh wow really? holy shit, I didn't know they were doing all that, but then again it is a online thing, like you literally need the service for any of that to be relevant. Damn, let that be a fucking lesson to those trying to jump into this industry half cocked. Its funny cause many think MS joined gaming badly and now that we look at all theses flops, maybe they didn't do so bad lol
XB giant ass controller, limited support from the east.....
360 they learned. Controller fit for human hands, massive Japanese support, questionable first part lol Lots of missed deals like Bioware being bought by EA
XONE (they smoked a lot of crack before that reveal lol) DRM, always online, then Phil enters and they actually put games on PC day and date...smart, buy studios...smart and it seems like Phil was the dude that should have always been at the helm of XB cause I'd argue those moves should have fucking been done start of 360 generation.
Series X....much better situation then really any of the past XB systems. Normal launch, lots of first party future support, Japan support etc.
So maybe I was too hard on em lol shit, maybe I'm too hard on Google, for all we know they come out with a real console, buy Ubisoft, EA, sprinkle some Bandai Namco for the fucking weeboos and back in business lol They can still turn things around and its not the end of the world, but they can't come in thinking simply having 3rd party support is good enough or something.
So they are losing even more money then I realized if they are refunding people, someone's fired 3x times lol Like they wait till he gets a new job and then buy that company just to fire him again (its what I'd do just to be a bitch) lol
