Update: Feral Press replied to our question about cross-platform online support, as traditionally their ports are locked for Linux/macOS and Windows by itself. Here's what they said:

We do not have anything to announce in regards to the support of the cross-platform multiplayer.

Should the situation change, we will make an announcement on our official site and social media channels.

To who asked about game engine, it's Unity.

Quoting: SamsaiLet the record show that Liam didn't know of the "how about a nice game of chess?" reference before I made him aware of it.

Lies, deceit, deception, the only winning move is not to play.

Quoting: Liam Dawethe overwhelming urge people seem to have to just not think things through about commenting on it is either ignorance or just plain stupidity to make a dig at GOog.

Gotta say, Liam, if that wasn't you saying that I'm not sure you'd approve of how the tone contributed to your community.

Some things just have to be said and I am very blunt.

And no it was not directed specifically at any one person.

Quoting: GuestActually, "Creating best-in-class games from the ground up takes many years and significant investment, and the cost is going up exponentially."

Translation: Making AAA games costs money.

Google must have been really shocked to find out. It was such a well-kept secret that making AAA games costs money!

And...I dunno. EA and Ubisoft seem to be quite successful making AAA games and Google is 100 times (or 1000?) richer than these two companies combined. *shrug*

They have established studios.....

That is the point people keep missing, because they just have to get their bit in on Google. Creating and maintaining a game studio, one big enough to do costly AAA titles is a huge and extremely messy thing that just isn't Google. Clearly so. Yes others can do it, because they have a long history and started off making smaller games and scaling up.

I'm no huge fan of Google overall (I'm even moving away from gmail after being with it since the start!), despite liking Stadia, but the overwhelming urge people seem to have to just not think things through about commenting on it is either ignorance or just plain stupidity to make a dig at GOog.

Quoting: t3gI don’t understand the reasoning to talk about Stadia on this site. Yes, I know that it’s running on a version of Linux, but those enhancements aren’t going upstream and it won’t encourage game developers to use the Stadia code in porting to Linux.

Honestly getting sick of replying to this. We will write about anything, on Linux as long as it relates to gaming on this platform. Does Stadia work on Linux and is it a supported service? Yes. So we cover it. Same reason we cover Wine, Proton, Emulators, Game Engines and everything else.

Don't like it? Block the Stadia tag in your profile settings here or stop reading them.

EA just announced they're putting FIFA on Stadia in March. Interesting timing...

I'm not saying it is or isn't simply noting the lawsuit is up. Did a small adjustment to the wording in the article, to make it a bit clearer.

Sorry but you're clearly not objective about any of this.
