Stadia refunds start processing
According to an email Google just sent out, automatic refunds should start flowing into payment methods that were used to purchase Stadia items and game. The expected majority refund date is by January 18, 2023, so it’s coming… why it’s taking so long for all 12 of the people who purchased Stadia games to get their refund is not in the email.
The shutdown date is January 18th, and you can use the service until then. There is still no word on whether Google is going to unlock the very nice Stadia controllers or not, but one can hope.
