Two seven-year smartphones.

Now this is nice. Hopefully 3rd party manufacturers can also provide a longer life span for the device.

      100% refunded the cost of the starter kit and any games purchased. (Not sure if microtransactions were refunded too)

      They even made it possible to convert your stadia controller to standard Bluetooth through a free update hosted by Google themselves.

      I really enjoyed the tech and used mine quite a bit. I’m sad to see it gone, but they actually handled it in a respectable way.

        They sent me 5 free ones also. Now I have 5 free Bluetooth controllers and 5 free Chromecast ultras.

        To me they even refunded the months I paid for Ubisoft Subscription services I got on Stadia. Which doesn’t make sense as I did enjoy them and it’s a subscription… probably a mistake but I am not gonna complain.
