Just when I thought: "Hey, don't we need a seventh cloud game streaming service!?!"

it's getting a new "HyperMotion" next-gen tech for consoles and Stadia but the Windows version will not be getting all the special new tech.

So it's Linux > Windows! :grin:

... in theory, in the cloud. :unsure:

Quoting: slaapliedje[...] and one of the few conpanies that wanted to see gaming on Linux lost a lot of their supply because their basement flooded?

What's that story?

Quoting: slaapliedjeIf you want rock solid+newer software, you now can use stable+backports.

That became my sweet spot for "it just works" desktop plus gaming.

Quoting: 14I get Blu-rays. But I think you know what I meant. When a streaming device can't buffer quickly enough, it switches to a lower quality. Even when it's high quality, it's not usually as high as Blu-ray.

Blu-rays are compressed, too. Yes, I know what you mean, but I want to fight the notion that compression is a bad thing per se.

Quoting: 14Makes me worried I'll lose my dependable quality and avoid any compression and buffering.

You're aware that DVDs are compressed?

Happy Birthday!

I understood that this started as a hobby project and turned into being professional some day? I seemed to be missing the turning point though, if it was publicly announced...?

I honestly do not see anything wrong with Humble wanting to get some money from their bundles.

Agreed, but I'm surprised by the numbers. It's not like the current market they're talking about is going up to 30% at the moment. I expected less than 10% as their minimum part.

Quoting: LoftyThe context of the article is to replace traditional high end PC or console gaming via streaming at a low/no net loss to what we have now.

No matter how high end your PC is now - it won't be in some years. That's when it makes sense to check if it's worth to invest one or even two thousand bucks, not when you just bought a new one. (I don't say the answer is clear, just that the question makes sense.)
