The real question is when will google kill this service
There's a very limited selection of Android games that they have set up for this service. When I checked last week, all were Free to Play with in-game microtransactions. Since I'm not currently playing any F2P android games, it didn't make sense for me to actually find something to use the credit for.

It's basically running an android emulator in the background, and from what I've heard it's still pretty buggy.
The UI to purchase things was terrible. I tried looking through the store and there was limited selection.

Baits? No, you have an agenda.

You started out incorrectly talking about virtualization and how running an Android emulator will compromise your security.

You got called out on it, so now you want to pivot into calling it "trolling".

It's okay to dislike Google for X, Y, and Z, but you just sound like a petulant child who ran up a credit card on Clash of Clans and did a charge back, so Google banned your account.

Don't try the same thing with Apple, kid. They'll do more than ban you.
laugh out loud mmkay. Have a good day!

Good bait, but there is literally zero game in the library that interests me.

It took me just looking at a half dozen game cards to think the same thing. Google is very misled thinking people want to play mobile games on their desktops/laptops. There's some pretty hilariously tone-deaf product owners over there. Shockingly dumb, and unfortunately, par for the course for them so often. (This coming from a Google fanboy.)

I doubt "does the owner of the device actually want any of this" even entered into play in their business decision. More like "how can we maximize the potential for children to run up the bill on microtransactions when their parents limit their phone time?"

You know they don't have to give you a refund right.... We been lucky with Stadia.

If Google is smart, they'll keep this practice. It's the standard. Whenever Sony or Amazon release a new product that they cancel quickly, they refund or credit their customers for the cost of that product. Otherwise, few people are going to take another chance on their hardware efforts.

Good grief people do not install anything from Google on your computer. They are an advertising company look up their revenue 98% of their revenue (billions and billions) is from advertising. They are charging you AND selling you.

You're right. I just wanted to point out that with Windows 11, Microsoft is now doing the same thing.

Thank you. That might actually work for my use case…

I loved Assassin's Creed: Pirates on my iPad, but it quit being supported, and was eventually removed from the App Store.

I noticed recently that it still shows up in my account on the Google Play Store, but I didn't want to mess with it on my (tiny) phone.

I'd love to revisit it from my computer, and see if it holds up.

Quote from wherestheanykey :
Not only that, they blame Google instead of blaming the real bad guy: Former FCC Chairman Ajit Pai.

You know how most telecoms impose archaic data caps and throttle your connection whenever they see fit?

Yep, that was Ajit Pai.

You know how it's legal for ISPs to prioritize connections to their streaming services while degrading competing services?

Also Ajit Pai.

And when Xfinity or AT&T are allowed to monopolize entire markets, blocking cities from creating their own municipal internet, that is also a long lasting result of Ajit Pai.

The fact of the matter is, without a robust internet there can never be a competitor to Google and certainly not one that operates any differently than Google. We're being fed ads because there's zero certainty in a subscription model being dependable with how bad our infrastructure is.

At least when Google shows ads, they might be relevant.

Hulu can't even figure that out, despite the fact that they know my age, gender, and what shows I watch.
ugh, don't get me going on the FCCs choices regarding the interwebs Frown

No faster than Netflix canceling Cowboy Bebop or DC with the Swamp Thing show.

I was offered this a month or two ago and the discount was never honored. It was the first time I installed it (req of offer) and I had a targeted email. Don't bother.

It's in yr account but only valid with games on Google Play Games. Very misleading.

I did it for the beta as well, and the discount / credit was nowhere to be found. Yes, the game I was using it on was offered as one of the few on PC Google Play Games.
