I used Stadia super casually, despite buying the Founder's Edition as soon as it was available. I bought maybe 5 games at very steep discounts and maybe played them for 1-4 hours each.
With that said, the way they're handling this shutdown gives me LESS hesitancy re: consumer entertainment purchases. Granting full, automatic refunds is the vest way this can be handled, period.
Now, developer services are another story... Winding down a service that I rely on (rather than just being entertained by) would cause me more work, on their schedule.
But still, I have slightly more trust that they'll handle similar things well in the future.
