My PC died last year and Stadia is the only way I can play. And now it's going away in 3 months. What are us Stadia players supposed to do?

    Dunno. It's sad. I loved Stadia for allowing me to play on a little 11" Chrome tablet with keyboard while I travelled. Also played it on my phone while on breaks at work for farming and simple stuff. I am going to miss that platform!

    Getting a new PC is probably the only option.

    ESO used to be on Nvidia's system. Bethesda and Activision/Blizzard pulled many titles from Nvidia's system for what was reportedly due to licensing issues. Nvidia seems to have repeated the same action with other developers since. So I doubt ESO will be available again via Nvidia Geoforce Now.

    That require restarting on an new account, loosing both progress and items bought.

    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    I've been using Shadow.tech, a cloud pc service for a couple of years now. Not available worldwide though, and 30 bucks a month. I had a few issues with it now and then but overall pretty satisfied.
    You can even use addon on it. 😉

    That sounds like an good option, here you will install ESO or other games on the virtual machine and as its an full VM you can use any sort of mods

    I was playing with my sister since beta. Then ESO dropped DirectX 9 support and she went offline because she had only old laptop and couldn't afford a new one. Then Nvidia GeForce Now arrived with ESO on it. She played for one month and ESO was withdrawn from the service and moved to Stadia. Stadia wasn't working in our country.

    Long story short: nothing. There is nothing you can do.

    Favorite Foods and Potions
    https://media.giphy.com/media/3otPoTggaYFNd1FdAI/giphy.gif
    • Parse Food for PvE:(DPS) Ghastly Eye Bowl (increases Max Magicka by 4592 and Magicka Recovery by 459 for 2 hours).
    • Gold/Purple Food for Sorc PvP and Meme Tanking:(PvP) Clockwork Citrus Filet (increases Max Health by 3326, Health Recovery by 406 [useful if stage 1 vampire], Max Magicka by 3080, and Magicka Recovery by 338 for 2 hours). Witchmother's Potent Brew (Increase Max Magicka by 2856, Max Health by 3094, and Magicka Recovery by 315 for 2 hours.
    • Trash Potions when feeling cheap: Regular CP150 Essence of Magicka pots that I obtain frequently from playing the game or Crown Tri-Restoration Potion obtained from dailies.
    • Crafted Potions: Essence of Spell Critical (Bugloss, Lady's Smock, and Water Hyacinth). Without magelight this is my primary means of obtaining Major Prophecy on my Sorc, which increases my Spell Critical Rating. This also heals and restores magicka. Essence of Immovability (Columbine, Corn Flower, and Wormwood). I use this in PvP, since this gives me stealth detection, knockback immunity, and restores magicka (better to use it when competent allies are nearby, since it might reveal that you are surrounded by multiple players in stealth and you will not have an emergency pot available after use). Essence of Invisibility with only 2 ingredients (Blue Entoloma, Namira's Rot, Nirnroot, or Spider Egg). I use this in PvE content that requires stealth and if I need more speed I'll use Rapid Maneuver before using the potion. Essence of Invisibility with 3 ingredients (Blessed Thistle, Blue Entoloma, and Namira's Rot). Very useful in PvP alongside the vampire Dark Stalker passive, since you'll be invisible, ignore movement speed penalty while in Crouch, and you'll have a 30% movement speed boost from Major Expedition (I always have this slotted when riding from point A to B in PvP land, since gankers are always lurking). My templar will mostly use Essence of Health (Tri-Stat Potion) Ingredients: (Mountain Flower, Columbine, and Bugloss).

    Apparently game developers with games on Stadia or coming out soon, and even the people at Google working on Stadia found out it was shutting down the same day the news went public. So ZOS will have found out the same day everyone else did and probably haven't had time to figure something out

    play 2 month, because last month may not be exactly playable
    and hope that enough people were using Stadia for Zeni to even consider looking for other service and having numbers to show for better contract...

    get cheap second hand laptop...

    currently only "shadow" as cloud, but if it is only for eso 30+ bucks are too much...

    The game was on Xbox Gamepass cloud streaming for a while but performance was so bad that they removed it. I tried it and was kicked from the game constantly. I heard they're working out the kinks and hope to get it online again, although I don't think it's been announced when yet. If it ever works that will allow people to stream to a phone or tablet again or even on a basic PC.

    Well... thinking about it... The issue is this game is not optimal and streaming helps with that by moving to server-side. I don't want to buy a chunky junk laptop to play this reasonably when I travel due to that. Yes it's not terrible on my M1 Mac but I don't like bringing stuff on a plane these days.

    I heard they're refunding purchases but I'm not sure what that means in terms of ESO DLC, crowns etc.
    My suggestion is playing via Microsoft/Zenimax directly and not relying on 3rd parties. Less chance of problems like this one.

    I've heard of another publisher helping Stadia users transfer things to PC. Give Microsoft/ZOS time. Maybe they'll come up with a way to help people also. Then again maybe not. But if another big company is doing it and enough people ask for it maybe they'll feel some pressure to do something.
