To think that I’ve bought this for 25 euros discounted, then Google discontinued Stadia and refunded me everything basically gifting me a 4K Chromecast and a controller. Wild luck
Stadia caught a lot of crap when it was around, but I have to defend their memory. I was using my ancient 2014 MacBook Pro and running games like Far Cry 6, Assassins Odyssey, Cyberpunk, and Sniper Elite 4 no problem. When Stadia was shut down, Google refunded me and all Stadia users for all of the title purchases they made on that platform. I basically for 1.5 years of playing pretty great games for free.
I got mine for free during that onetime Google said to sign up for something and get it free. So I made a free 1 week account and got it….still wish I got my money back.
It was alright for what it was trying to do, but the fact the games couldn’t function online that well ..and you also needed Internet connection to even play games you bought. They fixed that later but still..not worth it unless you use the controller for other games you own since it does work with emulators and steam
There are scripts you can run with that controller to get it recognized as an xbox controller, which would work fine for most games. (Especially GTA 5 works with this combo)
What the fuck? Didn’t anyone tell them it’s long dead? Unless they recently brought back…
Also sealed…
Price so high because its an antique
Oh man I feel bad for the kid opening one of these up on Christmas morning
even though the “console” is a brick, can the controller still be used for PC use?
It’s actually a great blue tooth controller. I now have it paired with my steam deck.
Didn’t know they sell corpses in supermarkets
I want to try on the chrome goggles
What’s the currency?
This comes with a Chromecast Ultra, so this might be worth it just for that and a decent controller tbqh
Chromecast still works as a Chromecast
The controller makes a pretty decent PC gamepad.

I preordered it, then as soon as I got it I returned it. I didn’t even open the package. Like, immediate buyers remorse.

Imagine being a poor child who got this for Christmas by an ignorant parent.
Oof.
Wasn’t that discontinued? Why still sell it?
They should be sued for scamming people. Selling a product that does not even work anymore for that much has to be illegal
I thought Google Statia is gone ?
Some poor kid is about to get it’s Christmas ruined
Reminds me of going into Gamestop and seeing shut-down MMOs still being sold. Also used copies of WoW when that first came out.
