Sure thing, for me, it's Steam first. After that, for titles I can't get any other way, I might consider Stadia, but let's wait and see what form it will take. There are too many unknowns in the equation, for the moment.

The controller looks packed with features and cool, though. Might get one at some point, depending on the price and if it's not locked to Stadia.

Edit: Crazy tought... Stadia on Steam Link (hardware) with Chrome...

Edit2: Is Stadia going to use a "custom" (as in kiosk and dedicated) version of chrome? Like a preconfigured chrome app that you install from the google store?

Quoting: tmtvlConsidering the ability to choose the mods you use is so important I think this platform is gonna take off like the Challenger.

... Not counting on the quality of "Stadia's homemade exclusives"... Just that might attract a lot of people on the service.

If EA, Ubisoft, Blizzard and the likes start shipping games for Stadia (not exclusives)... I wonder if it could mean that we are closer to see a Linux version of their respective stores... But I might just be dreaming.

Yup. The beta branch has had controller support for months. Sadly most people wouldn't look at anything that isn't Lutris, because apparently choice is only good when it comes to your OS ;).

From what I read and understand, ElementaryOS is an Ubuntu derivative? I wouldn't be affraid to try it, at least.

Padoka-dev is at Mesa 19.1 and Padoka-stable is at 18.3.3... Does this news means that Mesa 19.0 is now going stable? If so, is there anybody that knows when we may hope for it to appear on padoka-stable?

No.

But not really surprising if this SteamSpy guy is now in charge at Epic.

Well. Look at the bright side. It could be worse. They could be scanning you hard drive looking for words like China, Xi Jinping or Winnie the Pooh.

Who said they don't? :wink:

Why not an android TV box with an optimized version of Steam Link? Oh! It could be called Nvidia Shield! Lol!

This, the exclusives stuff and all the legal issues surronding Fortnite as proven to me that Epic Games doesn't deserve any kind of trust. Not gonna buy anything from that store, even if it comes to Linux. It reminds me too much of the bad days of Microsoft.
