8GB of ram... (the same as an ps4)
vulkan support
cheap as hell..

i know its video capabilities should be fair inferior to PS4, but still this is geting impressive and turning into nice gaming machine

Quoting: MordragIt is not like creating a game on youre own with the same scope as one in crayta is a shitload of work. Apart from that marketing etc. ... I have the feeling some people just like to bash :)

wth does that means?
you ares saying that making games on crayta will be much easier than making on you own?
or the opposite?

Quoting: drlambIt also appears they're paying out for the best/most creative games created within. https://medium.com/unit2games/crayta-prize-fund-details-989ef5d4898c [External Link]

ok, at least they have prizes, but... i dont know, you can make an game by your self and sell up to millions of units, or earn an salary for making the best game for then...

great, now we can pay to create games for google for free...
so we can earn 0 cents while they profit from our content and our content can be locked to their cloud.

quite smarth strategy from then, but i will pass.

"sidestepping the actual Windows API. "
how is that even possible?

Quoting: TheRiddickWe need to build a list of developers and publishers who don't allow cloud gaming with your existing bought copies of games...

Blacklist them all.

people (who dont care about linux) are already doing that, and as for us, it would only backfire against us, since GFN dont support linux anyway...

Quoting: mylkai dont get it why nvidia has a client for STREAMING

why isnt it like stadia with a browser... should be way less maintaining

because they dont have an browser?
they wont launch one just for that, hell chrome is currently the only browser with support for that, wich means they arent using any standard codec for that, but an custom made one..
in other words, they would have to make an browser instead of support the ones we already have.
and by that point, its easier to make an client, well, the client might as well be just an electron app with an deeply integrated extension to support their proprietary codec.

Quoting: drlambHowever unlikely I'd die if Google (Stadia) and Valve formed a partnership.

that wont happen.
the main issue with stadia is that games need to be ported to linux and vulkan to work on it, the cost of doing that is too high, but since google will earn something like 30% of the every game purchased on stadia, they can take this cost on then to make some profit later on.

that is totally contrary to geforce now, who stream games from an windows machine and as result, it can operate at the cost of streaming charging only an montly signature to use the service.

in theory it dont matter what runs on the service as long as it can stream to linux, but for some reason geForce now isnt avaliable for linux...

" but it can't be ignored as part of the wider picture - a strong way to play games on PC without the need for a specific OS has clear benefits for Linux users."
except that most of those services dont work on linux for some mysterious reason.
actually its much easier to wine to support one of those services than all the games, but that will also put all your games in a single point of failure, if an update break stuff again you will lose a lot...

one of the issues that bother me the most is that many people dont seem to play on pc, just consoles, and yet, they dont use linux regardless of that..

another thing to take into account is geForece Now...

"Another simple counter is that it's becoming more and more obvious that Proton has far better historical compatibility with games than Windows does"

can you quote any example?

"Denuvo Anti-Cheat will have Proton support out-of-the-box for releases beyond DOOM: Eternal. Feel free to @ me directly with feedback once you had a chance to try it. I'm happy access is restored for you guys."

holy shit, that is great news and at the same time, i dont know... their ring 0 backdoor working on linux sounds bad to me.
