Quoting: elmapulso what happens to exclusives like guilty?

You mean Gylt, right? I guess it's better to complete it while it still works, just in case.
I played it during a free week but didn't manage to finish.
I wonder if they will refund purchases made between today and the shutdown date. :whistle:

[edit] ok, so the store is now closed. Quite obvious really, as people would 100% exploit it if the above was the case.

er... nope, not avaliable on my country

Quoting: Purple Library GuyPeople didn't actually have to pay a monthly fee for Stadia; it's just Google's terrible marketing made it look like they did.

Quoting: RandomizedKirbyTree47For example, exhibit A:

that is why i love discussion forums and comment sections, we always see comments like this.

that is funny and clever, but who talk like this IRL? IRL people are boring most of the time.

Quoting: LoftyWith Google stadia they wanted to become private landlord barons of gaming. Rent your games forever and own nothing, kick you out and lose everything when you cant afford the admission fee or have opinions they don't like.

the rent games forever issue can be solved with piracy, so long the games arent exclusives to cloud, honestly, the censorship point of view scares me more.
i mean, a lot of people would self censor in order to not lose an account, even if they could just pirate instead.

Quoting: LoftyGlad it's finally gone. And if the financially successful Steam Deck is proving anything, it's that people actually like to OWN PHYSICAL THINGS they can touch.

not really, this just prove this market dont have space for many players, unless luna and xcloud die, then it will prove people want ownership.

Quoting: ertuquequeI'm actually happy Stadia is dead... The whole concept of streaming games is inherently discriminatory to the majority of the world, which doesn't have good Internet connection. At least 2 entire continents are out of this business because of this.

so? the most well sold video game console, sold 157 millions of units, in a world with
6~7 billion, i would say, most people didnt had access to one either, and not all of then due to the lack of interest.
no platform was ever universal, that is not an excuse to not give an option.
maybe in a few regions consoles are too expensive, but streaming isnt or the other way arround.

Quoting: ertuquequeAlso, the idea of paying for a videogame that after some time is not going to be available... nope, not for me. That's another reason why I don't like Netflix and all these streaming services. I want to HAVE what I pay for, locally.

that i have to agree with, but i dont see how having less options would be a good thing.
the solution here should be google giving an fallback option.
make an client to downlod the games you own on pc/mac/linux in case you want to play offline, or give away steam keys, hell even they said that the most played game ever was their dinossaur chrome game, i guesses that was an hint they were planing something for offline consumers...

now that we have less options, its more likely that the ones we have may move to a cloud only future.
to be fair, the fact that the cloud only service died might send then the message.

Quoting: fagnerlnThis would be awesome if Linux had native apps of streaming services like Netflix and Amazon

that is a bit troublesome because... DRM

either we have the freedom from gpl and linux or the prision of DRM.
either the comunity is satisfied with the freedom we can have including to pirate, or companies are.

Quoting: TheRiddick.NET 6 Support.
Hmm, I would have thought it be better to support a more open platform standard. I really hate developers that use .net or any specificity locked in and hard to translate MS API.

im not sure about .Net, but c# feature was funded by microsoft, so i dont see why not implement it.
as for .Net, considering that most of the code from godot is written by volunteers i think it was more of a "accept this commit" thing than an decision from godot makers, in any case, those users who want this feature probably would use something else if godot didnt had support for this, its not like if they would sundely care about multiplatform development if godot havent it.

another thing to consider is that if an library or programing language make someone lifes easier we cant really blame the people who use it, we have to provide an better alternative instead, and while we might have had developed it, if it wasnt an first at the market, we cant blame who chose to learn it instead of waiting for an multiplatform alternative.
(i been there, trust me you dont want to)

Quoting: elmapulOpenGL compatibility for older / low-end devices.

not yet

The OpenGL renderer is already implemented (in WIP state); it's just not exposed in the project manager yet. You can create a project from the command line [External Link] then start the editor using the `--rendering-driver opengl3` command line argument.

well i cant open it here, even with that argument, so...
