Got a link to that ?
How would a link for an "if it were true..." look like?

It's logic: If porting games that work on WINE wouldn't be viable for them, then they would have stopped quite some time ago already.

I wonder if they now get review bombed for making the new one VR only. OTOH, the people who dislike this move the most will already own the game...

Quoting: LinasIn Denmark I see people using Linux on their laptops from time to time. MacBooks are very popular. But I don't think I have ever seen a Chromebook, either in use, or in a shop. Not anywhere in Northern or Eastern Europe for that matter.

I did not know that, but they still have to get permissions obviously? Would be great if they could get CAPCOM and RockStar.
They do need to get permissions, the source code, and maybe a little help to get it all up (maybe stuff is missing to get the game together or something). But I still wonder why not more companies do that, given it's very little to no financial risc for them.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyI'm very fond of Boxtron. I don't know just why, I haven't even used it, it just seems like such a nice thing.
Same boat. :-)

I don't understand the motivation at Google for this either, but maybe it might motivate them to, erm, motivate the developers releasing on Stadia to make native Linux versions as well?

PS: I still find it interesting that Chromebooks are near to nonexisting in Germany, while seemingly a big thing at some places (namely the US)...
