Stadia to see more than 100 games through 2021

By - | Views: 33,511

Despite the rising amount of people believing Stadia won't be around for long, we're into another year and Google have announced that more than 100 games will release for Stadia through 2021.

After a pretty rough time with Terraria cancelled and bridges burned, along with Stadia shutting down first-party game development which left a lot of Stadia users worried they definitely needed to put out some good news. In a fresh community post, the Stadia team officially announced "more than 100 games that will be added to the Stadia store for our players in 2021".

Here's more of what they just recently confirmed:

Shantae: Half-Genie Hero Ultimate Edition (Feb. 23)

This depresses me.

I don't begrudge Stadia for existing. Sure, exist, chew up all the bandwidth you want. (seriously, it's ecological disaster levels of bandwidth) But it bothers me that in all likelihood, precisely 0 of these games will see a native Linux release anywhere else.

It is a shame on that level yes but for the Linux desktop there's just no good marketing going on backed up with hardware. The reason all the games go to Stadia is it has marketing and a company properly backing it. Whereas we have Valve with Proton which still isn't advertised anywhere on Steam for over two years - and when it is, you'll then probably see even less developers caring about direct support. Many things to think on...

When Proton does get marketed to developers it will be in the form of a feature complete build target. ie "Here, support this, ktnx"

As for market share etc. Disturbing as it is, Steam China will likely push up the Linux share over time more than the rest of the world.

That's just Windows. There is no special Proton build target, it's just Windows.

The Terraria story really broke my trust in how Google handles their accounts, and so being a pro-privacy person is not the only reason I will avoid Google anymore. I deleted nearly all my YouTube videos the other day going back ten years. I am going to find a new domain registrar. No, I will not buy a game that is locked down to Stadia.

It is indeed disheartening and frustrating to know that numerous games have Linux builds and we just can not have them, but I think that blaming Stadia is misdirected.

People connected the dots and thought that: Stadia Linux releases > Linux desktop releases. And when that didn't happened they felt betrayed, they felt like a promise was broken.
Well, Stadia took no obligation to release Linux desktop games, there was no promise of that and the disappointed people have only themselves to blame for their own wishful thinking.

Also, why blame specifically Stadia for Linux builds not reaching the Linux desktop?
What Stadia did was opened the path to Linux builds for publishers/developers, and now these publishers/developers have the tools and know how to do a Linux build. And when they still choose not to release for the Linux desktop, is it Stadia preventing them to do so? No, is the same publisher/developer motivation as always (true or just perceived): Linux desktop market share, distro fragmentation, anti cheat etc.
However, the one motive that they no longer can invoke now is "we don't know how". Is at least one motive less, and this might come in handy someday for us.

That's just Windows. There is no special Proton build target, it's just Windows.

I should have said test target. "Windows" is not a single thing either. Windows 8, 10 (+variants), 7 (in some cases still), GPU types + drivers. Whatever the developer chooses to support, these must all get tested, and more importantly, built from the ground up to not include things that do not work on their chosen supported platforms.

I'm saying if Valve can provide a feature complete Proton that they support, then they could maybe talk some developers into adding this to their list of supported targets.

Anyway, I'm not a moron, Liam.

That makes more sense. However, feature complete? Any time Windows and DirectX change, it will be playing catch up. I don't think it will be possible to have such a thing.

Weird way to sign off your post, didn't in any way suggest you were ... and people say I can be quite blunt? Heh.

Sounded patronising. Anyhoo (insert some tone-clarifying emoji here because internet and I'm old)
