those who paid for the beta may get pissed off...

Quoting: GuestAfter stuff like the Coleco Chameleon and Atari Gameband i'm suprised people still fall for these dubious nostalgia-bait crowdfunding projects. I don't get why people even wanted this thing in the first place, when you take away the fancy controller and case it's nothing more than an decently-specced Linux box with a bunch of pre-installed Atari-branded crap.
nostalgic fans are blind, and after the oton console, we can be sure that linux fans are blind too:

it was an obvious scan, and some people still believed it could be true, we should focus our money in projects that alredy proved they can deliver something instead of this bullshit, why fund an obvious scan like this when we could have funded projects like gimp, godot and blender?

Google announce multiple new games coming to Stadia with Gunsport a 'First on Stadia' title

Quoting: Shmerl
Quoting: Purple Library GuyThis is all no doubt true but I'm not sure how much it matters to the average prospective customer.
I'm talking about Google. For customer it means there will be games on Stadia that aren't possible to run on Geforce Now. That alone is already a differentiator that will bring them users.

My point is, they aren't really competing 1:1, so I don't buy the argument that Google are doing something wrong in comparison with other stream services or they are behind them. They are actually ahead and they are doing something different.
google having their own games will only means that people may buy thier exclusives, and exclusive features wont sell the platform alone

looks like fun!
i remember having a lot of fun with the minigames from new super mario bross for nintendo ds, its amazing how simple games can be so fun, in many cases they are better than other much more complex games, because they focus on a single mechanic and polish it as if there was no tomorrow, instead of adding a bunch of stuff without polishing any of then.
this also reminds me of when i watched an E3 and nintendo was the only one (among the big 3) to show gameplay instead of just trailers, in the others i was like: this sounds like an cool game, but on an nintendo presentation i felt like i had an gamepad in my hands and was playing the game, i could feel how it should be fun playing the game.
and this video was just like that!
looks like an bomber-man, but with an original mechanic... now if just i could have an proper chair to play it, and someone to play with...
