Someone asked Stadia devs or reps on Reddit if users would have access to purchases games if the service shut down, back when Stadia was announced, and the response was not a "no" but definitely wasn't a "yes".

(That said, props to them for refunding folks.)

That the Stadia dev's response on Reddit is pure nonsense, basically just saying that

1. we're committed to supporting this for years to come

2. you can download your game metadata (saved games)

LOL, what are people supposed to do with their game metadata now that Stadia is being shut down? Look at it in a hex editor?

Take your full price refund and rebuy the game at half price.

If you don't have the hardware for it, it's much cheaper now than it was three years ago, or you could use geforce now.
