The kit was being subsidised. At several points, they were essentially giving away starter kits of controllers and chromecast ultras.
I guess they figured it was concerning enough that people were going to pick them up just for a free Chromecast Ultra without also giving them a free controller for Steam too.
- Hamuko 4y agoI got mine for free alongside a Chromecast Ultra after buying Cyberpunk 2077 (which also got a 10€ discount).
- sneak 4y agoFun fact: I ordered a Stadia "founder's edition" at launch for actual money, an order which Google later cancelled unilaterally. A couple weeks/months later, they emailed me a promo offering a similar kit for free (just pay shipping). I've no idea why they didn't make money and had to shut down.
