the only thing left is to know, will they servers run linux? or windows?
i know that linux is the king when it comes to servers, but that isnt stoping nvidia from using windows with geforce now to get acess to the windows ecosystem of games.

i wonder why we cant have an "open handset alliance" with all the companies who want to have games on linux to improve the ecosystem of their platforms.

samsung tizen, tesla who is working with unity developers to improve their runtime on their system, google with stadia, valve with steamOS, and if amazon is using linux, they too.
if they joined efforts temporarily in porting multiplatform games, and focused their efforts in exclusives to differentiate then selves, they all would have an better chance to enter in the market dominated by sony/nintendo/microsoft.

instead looks like they're going with an "winers takes it all" aproach, paying again and again to do the same ports...

Quoting: EikeSo many people having said it's born dead...
It seems to have a wild afterlife!

Nah, it is Google. Things from them are born very much alive, then they decide they don't make as much money as advertising, so they murder it before it becomes a full sized adult.
Can't think of anything outside of Android and Google's engine themselves that they haven't eventually killed off because they were bored. If Android hadn't taken off like it has, it would be dead by now too. So unless they can slide ads into games, I could see Stadia lasting another year or two.

Youtube? :v
plus, they dont need to make money by ads if they can sell an product.
google play music was rebranded but the musics that you purchased are still yours.

honestly google killed many projects but how many of then were ad supported, and how many of then are paid services?
google almost never drop support for things that he make profits from direct sales.
even when he does, its not at the same rate as other companies.

too little too late for us.
sure, we can play another subset of windows games, but that isnt enough reason for people to migrate to linux...

and now that ms turned linux into an middleware with WSL, making softwares exclusively for linux wont help either.

now i'm happy that i will be able to play my games on, shit, the niche stuff that i want to play wont work >.>
and GFN isnt avaliable on my country...

Quoting: elmapul"Solo developer Danny Preet is currently crowdfunding it on Kickstarter, with a goal of £15K and they have until October 1st to hit the goal. "
"solo developer"
"they"

just an small correction ;P

Eh, using the third-person plural pronoun to refer to a single person has literally hundreds of years of precedent in English at this point. I mean, we've already had the second-person singular form get taken over by the plural form, what's one more? :wink:

Interesting-sounding game, though it feels…incongruous that you're running past bio-hazard-marked containers and jumping through death-traps.

Interesting, in portuguese that woud be an mistake so i had no idea that its different in english

". PipeWire should also work directly with anything made for ALSA, PulseAudio and JACK - so you shouldn't see breakage with it."

"With Linux gaming going to new and different places with the likes of Valve, Collabora, CodeWeavers and more putting resources into making it easier to run Windows-only games the interest has definitely increased in Linux gaming. "

not to mention stadia...
developers have to target linux to target stadia...
and contrary to some other streaming services, you can play stadia games on linux desktop.

Quoting: elmapulisnt scummVM an dos emulator?

No; perhaps you are thinking of DOSBox. ScummVM is a collection of game engines, usually rewritten from scratch. Its name is derived from the LucasArts game engine SCUMM, used by The Secret of Monkey Island and various other games of that era.

oh, i see, just like FNA!
