lets donate to him, not only code, but money to make him not regreat this decision.
one of the reasons why so few developers open source their projects is because its less profitable.
if we want to change that...

er... i dont think they have an donate button, but we can still buy it.

120 looks like a lot, but its just 10 per month.
hopefully, they are 10 triple a games, because indie we already have enough, and any platform can play then anyway so there is no point in playing then via streaming

Quoting: SirLootALotEpic started timed exclusives on PC and now Stadia follows their lead. I can only consider that anti-consumer. Such practices greatly reduce the chances of me spending money on your service.

there is no such a thing a san world without exclusives.
there is either:
'sony get 20 exclusives, microsoft get 20 exclusives, nintendo get 20 exclusives, and everything else is multiplatform'
or
'almost everything is windows exclusive, other platforms have to try emulators to maybe be able to run something wit an crapy performance and an experience that vary from game to game, varing from run fine to run with tons of bugs.'

i used to be against exclusives too, but nowadays i see that this is an utopy.

microsoft is playing dumb breaking their own exclusivity deals because they know that, in an world without exclusives, anyone with the biggest marketshare win.

' Since Google are pushing their own gaming service with Stadia, you wouldn't expect them to do this. Gaming is a massive and powerful market though, giving a big boost to Chrome OS and Chromebooks with advertising that it works with Steam could definitely make some waves.'

actually, chromeOS may be the reason for google to invest in stadia to begin with.
sure, gaming is a profitable market, but operating systems can be even more, and microsoft tried to use their power over the windows to compete against google in the past.

who dont remember windows replacing your default search engine on chrome or firefox for bing instead of google?
or replacing your default browser?
or instaling silverlight on your browser, against the will of the user or the browser vendor?
microsoft tried to sabotage their competition, and that was the reson for google to try the enter their market to begin with.

'- Because the game is running in its own personal Xwayland sandbox desktop, it can't interfere with your desktop and your desktop can't interfere with it.'

can i play with any player or just the steam player?
also, i dont get that sentence

"This also fixes an issue I bugged Valve about a few times over the years, where a developer accidentally set a soundtrack DLC as available for Linux even when the game isn't. Now it doesn't matter, you can just buy and enjoy it without issues—no fuss is how I like it."

so you can buy any sound track, regardless of if the game is avaliable for linux?

oh, no, here we go again.

i got when the government of my country (and many others) said it would use free software and the project to promote linux.
if failed, the distro chosen by oems sucked most of the time, most people replaced the default distro with an pirated version of windows and the name, linux, was burned by the bad experiences that people had with those crapy distros.

i got excited with netbooks (one laptop per children) thinking linux would finally take off
if failed

i got excited with android
its a sucess, but it dont matter from an gamer point of view (gatcha "isnt" gaming) , from the desktop point of view (as the games, many productivy apps didnt came to linux desktop) and many peopl consider android more closed than windows.
i got excited with chromeOS...
it didnt run regular linux softwares for years, and it couldnt get mainstream adoption.

i got excited with when valve anounced the steam machines,they delayed... i got my hype frozen to the point that i got anxienty problems, steam machines floped, failed to gain traction.
i got excite with might n9 and that it was coming to linux, floped (bad game)
i got excite with yooka laylee, floped (bad game)
i got excite with Blood Stained, linux version canceled (and the game is good, sigh, i'm soo excited for the game i cant play)
i got excite with we happy feel, linux version canceled and looks like the game was bad
not to mention, street fighter 5, witcher 3, darksiders...
i got excited with HTML5...
most of the flash aplications (and games) didnt got ported and lets be honest, triple A games wont be ported, google failed once with NaCl, and trying to push webGl, webGL2, webAssembly, didnt solved this issue

i got excited with stadia,come on!

'It's going to be incredibly interesting to see exactly how Valve will be handling this, especially if they will allow other services to integrate directly with it. That could be a pretty big selling point compared to the likes of Stadia.'
or it could be an steam machines 2.0 (another flop)
