Quoting: marcus

Quoting: elmapuli know that most people will not care on that aspect so they have no reason to rely on google, but think for an moment: how many of those discontinued google products were paid?

Google Music was paid.

Are you trying to say that it's not a big deal because it was free (of money)?
Because dude, all of that services (same as Facebook...) aren't free, you pay/paid with your data, don't forget their income is mostly ads...
I prefer to lose money than give away my data to any corporations, governments etc.

no, the reason why google discontinued those services was because the business model was to sell ads, but the lower user base means that puting ads on it were not as profitable as to put on facebook and collecting data on it werent any better due to the lack of users.
google discontinued those services because it was an waste of money of their investors to host an service that lose money and to advertisers to announce where no one would see or to data brokers to pay for such useless data.
they were thinking in their customers, the issue is that we werent their customers to begin with.

as they say: "if the service is free, you are the product being sold"
the main difference with stadia is that we are the ones paying something, we are the customers.

Quoting: elmapuli cant wait to see the stadia haters report this... oh wait, they wont, they pretend that stadia dont exists when its a good news, and pretend "its dead with this final nail in the cofin" when its bad news.

stadia has "died" more times than jesus and kuririn at this ṕoint

Well, enjoy your stadia while it lasts:

https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2021/02/report-stadia-undershot-to-the-tune-of-hundreds-of-thousands-of-users/ [External Link]

I am not a 'hater' - I am someone who used (past tense) a lot of different google services over several decades and actually have a working memory, and don't have stockholm syndrome.

The first comment on the Ars Technica article said it succinctly:

It's almost like if you cancel enough consumer-facing projects, consumers won't want to take a chance on your new projects.

yeah i got burned out by then a few times, orkut, googleplus, wave...
stadia isnt even avaliable on my country yet, so i cant decide if i gonna give it a try or not, but i care about being able to play on linux and more people being able to try linux or port their engines (and maybe even games) to linux, so i do care about its future.

i know that most people will not care on that aspect so they have no reason to rely on google, but think for an moment: how many of those discontinued google products were paid?

Quoting: ageresThe "SDK" for LowRes NX is available on AUR while the core is not yet. You can use lowres-nx to load and play .nx files. I wonder why they decided to use BASIC-like style with bunch of GOTOs instead of something that Dijkstra would have approved.

i guess some of those old games were made in basic, so this move will make old developers confortable and new ones more familiarized on how things used to be

A lot of the commercial games from the early boom in home computers were programmed in BASIC. The most notable that come to mind are Ultima 1 and 2. I'm willing to bet that a BASIC-like language would especially appeal to the generation that was exposed to BASIC as children, and now want to tinker with their children.

i was refering to console games, i know it was used on pc, but i didnt thought much about it, since were talking about an console...
i'm not sure if the consoles were strong enough to run games made with it

not really an anime, like avatar or even castlevania, this show borrow the anime asthetic and maybe is done by an japanese studio, but that dont means its an "anime".
i know that for the japaneses this word refer to any animation, not only those made on japan, but i dont think this will have much of an appeal to the japanese market or the internation otaku audience, only for those who know nothing about anime except for a few popular shows (naruto and whatever the cable tv aired).

now i'm not saying that this will be an shit show...
but i have 0 interest in seeing it, and after seeing the trailer, my interest raised to -1 .

i dont play dota, but that is not the main issue.
