Google is being nice to refund the hardware purchase made for Stadia. I got 3 sets of Stadia premier before ($22 each). Hopefully, I get the money back. If you have made the purchase, be sure to check. Below is the email from Google.

On September 29, 2022, Google announced that the Stadia service will be winding down on January 18, 2023.

Due to this wind down, you'll be issued a refund for Stadia hardware purchases made on Google Store.1 Your refund will be issued within 2 weeks. Once it's issued, you'll receive an email confirmation.

It's possible that there may be a problem processing your refund due to the time that has passed since the order was placed. If this happens, you'll receive an email with instructions with next steps.

For more information, visit the Stadia Announcement FAQ.

Sincerely,
The Google Store team

I bought the software when there was a promotion. Paid only $19.99 plus tax. No idea about hardware

I remember telling people this would happen. Never buy a product from a company that is in bed with the CCP and has no problem banning people for wrong think.

Wait, I thought there was no google service in China anymore?

Getting a Stadia is one of my best Slickdeals. Paid $22. Got the money back. Kept the Chromecast + Controller. That's a $70-$80 freebie.

Not sure why anyone is upset about this.

They gave it to me for free. Controller, chromecast ultra and trials rising. They refunded me $0. Haha.

The controller? It works with PC wired (although game support has been mixed). Wireless no luck yet, there is one workaround where you got to plug the controller into your phone the phone connects wirelessly, but I havent tried it.

❤️❤️ Stadia. Would have preferred they keep my money and continue the service. I had a great collection and it was so convenient.

I already received my game refunds, just waiting for the hardware refund for 3 controllers. My credit cards right now have negative Chase UR points. :/

Same. Feel bad for those who chose to buy them from me via eBay, rather than buying them direct from google lol

Such a good company. Too bad Fi has the worst customer service, they should be disowned from the franchise as a disgrace they have no honor
