That's very good news, especially given they refunded everyone for them. It's not a bad controller at all, the build quality of them is superb.

Still not converted your Stadia controller for compatibility with Bluetooth devices?
You have until the end of 2023 to do it before Google discontinue the tool that they provided for doing so.
Remember Stadia? I still do with a tinge of sadness each time it comes up. Sure, it's tough to build a new platform, create a successful game studio, and simultaneously upend an entire industry, but I think Google should have stuck with it far longer than they did. Stadia was an awesome services from a...
