No problems with Destiny 2 so far, but also haven't played it a few weeks.

Tricky Towers is a really great game I've discovered far too late

This is a great couch party game, highly recommended for that purpose! :grin:
Already makes fun with two players.

Can anybody tell me in what state the (base-) game is? I really like the idea and the theme, but heard the game isn't really user friendly and (very) grind heavy?

Stadia Pro for November has Sniper Elite 4, Risk of Rain 2, Republique and new releases

The limited back catalogue is a good argument. Regardless I think it would be better not to sell games before they're included in the pro subscription because of the problem described above. Nobody like to pay money for something twice (buy a game and pay the subscription for the same game) and in my opinion Stadia don't need any angry customers.

But I've to agree - with a much bigger catalogue this should not be such an issue anymore.

Six new games are a welcome addition to the pro subscription! However I don't get the idea behind for adding games that the customers may already have bought (like Risk of Rain 2 and Republique)? I didn't own them personally, but were shortly before buying Risk of Rain 2. As a regular pro user I would NOT be happy paying for something which is shortly afterwards added to my subscription. So is it really a good idea letting the (pro-) customers think twice about any purchases they may like to make (to estimate the chance the game will be added to pro in the very near future)? For me, I don't think so...

Stadia gets PAC-MAN 64-player Battle Royale, Jedi: Fallen Order soon and HUMANKIND beta
21 Oct 2020 at 3:59 am UTC

PAC-MAN isn't exactly the type of game where Stadia could shine for me. Stadia needs more really big (and resource hungry) titles. I'm really looking forward to Cyberpunk 2077 - this goes in the right direction and I suppose my gaming system couldn't handle it good enough. Very interested in Baldur's Gate 3 - but definitely not in the current state (I prefer finished games, not really a fan for EA). Fallen Order is a nice addition, too! Hello Neighbor.. uhm... just no, not for me.

Me too, everything works out of the box.
Anyway good to know - maybe.

Stadia to get a bunch more Ubisoft games including Assassin's Creed and Far Cry

Quoting: Liam DaweNo, Stadia doesn't do launchers, it's a very different platform really. You never see any launchers.
Indeed, but nonetheless you need an Ubisoft account (for example for "The Crew 2"). This is clearly stated on the particular Stadia store pages if it is the case.

Would be interesting what happens if Ubisoft shut down any online services in this context...

I'm not really a friend from accounts on accounts, but this is definitely not a Stadia only problem.

Stadia is getting Risk of Rain 2, Immortals Fenyx Rising, Scott Pilgrim and more

I'm using it, too - and I'm very pleased with it so far. I've very few time-slots for gaming during family live, so being able to just launch games within seconds (without downloads, without patches) is very comfortable and time saving. Being able to play on TV, on my laptop in any room or on my gaming machine is great, too! I'm on the Pro subscription for building up a nice collection. The controller just works fine.

The BIG problem for me is my low trust in Google - the "Google Graveyard" is full of killed Google products. While I really like Stadia I don't like the possibility it will go there too - taking all (paid and claimed) games with it down the earth... As far as I know there aren't any guarantees from Google that this won't be happen. Technically Steam has the same problem, but chances are high Steam last much longer. So, a few bad feelings remain...
