You might have seen one last game arrive on Stadia today. It's a humble ❤️ thanks ❤️ for playing from our team.
Find it here: https://stadia.google.c
In addition, many of you have expressed the desire to enable Bluetooth on the Stadia controller. We have some good news: next week we'll be releasing a self-serve tool to enable Bluetooth connections on your Stadia Controller. We'll share details next week on how to enable this feature.

I got back all of the money that I had ever spent on any Stadia games.
And now they went ahead and enabled bluetooth for their controller, making it useful for many people even after Stadia's death. The Stadia controller is actually not bad at all, I like it.
R.I.P. to Stadia, today is your funeral!
I like that Google is not afraid to try something. They have a lot of misses but they value innovation and creativity

Since the Bluetooth unlock thing is brand new, some/all of these tools probably don't support BT stuff yet but in case you want to try to keep using the controller in the future, might be worth checking out.
This is the most sad, yet pleasant sunsetting of a google service I've ever experienced.
The Stadia team's passion and dedication to the project can be felt with every interaction.
If any of the Stadia team are SDers, Thank you and goodbye!

You probably need something like Rewasd to remap it as Xbox controller otherwise the game won't recognize it correctly

Same feeling in here too, from refunding every penny back to unlock controller's bluetooth connection. Well done job.
