Quoting: compholio
Quoting: ElectroDD... Why aren't there any legal action and only twitter bashing ?
Probably because everyone knows that legal battles are long, darwn-out, expensive affairs with a low probability of success. Most people just quit, get a new job, and move on.
Not only that, while you are quite correct, it's not always stuff that's illegal. Being a complete creep and a terrible person is not illegal but not someone you want to work for. This is clear here. It's not CaNcEl CuLtUrE, it's clearly people being left with no choice.

Quoting: somebody1121Why can't be done in the NVIDIA or wayland side? Mesa has enough dealing with hardware and game bugs to increase the maintenance burden with the proprietary drivers.
Please in NVIDIA would be laughing at your comment. If they cared for Linux at all to even know about this site, that is.
NVIDIA are very much aware of us, they event sent us [External Link] their top GPU. So yeah, weird thing to say.

I have one word to say: Exclusives.
Yup, you're not even wrong there, it's already what Stadia is trying but so far their exclusives haven't been big popular titles. I'm most curious to see what their first-party studios do with something designed for cloud-first.

Quoting: fleskI just finished the demo, and I liked it a lot. Definitely going to buy the full game once it's released.
The person in the painting freaked me out a little, I will admit. Has a lot of freaky charm to it.

I think [this
[External Link] is it.
What is exactly the first list (Death stranding, Doom eternal...) with config options ?
The way SteamDB has it shown, is that the first part are games that have special launch options but aren't always on the whitelist.

Quoting: PhiladelphusI've had my eye on this for months now (I really love the artstyle!), but the impression I get is that whether or not a rocket explodes is pretty much random. Is that really the case, or is it possible to drive that chance down by, say, investing more in staff and safety procedures? I'd like to get it but I don't want every launch to feel like I'm flipping a coin, which is sort the feeling I get from the trailers and the little bit of footage I've watched (which to be fair was months ago, maybe it's different now).
That is something that's not made entirely clear, it might have a clear mechanic behind it but due to no intro it's not really explained. They have a reliability percentage, which seems to go up slightly as more are used and successful. So my assumption is that they improve over time and use (as in, your team understand them better and such) - could be wrong though. It definitely needs to do a better job at explaining.

Quoting: PhlebiacThe animated trailer certainly is lovely, but from the screenshots it doesn't look like the actual gameplay looks like that.
Well, duh? It's an animation.

Quoting: mylka"anywhere"..... stadia is not available anywhere and you need a very fast internet connection, so you kind of tied up to your own home...
Anywhere being any device and location, I didn't mean quite literally anywhere in the world. Yes, there's limitations right now.

Quoting: mylkawhere all gamers already have a PC, or a console
This might surprise you, but gamers use mobile phones and tablets too, where Stadia and other streaming services can also run. Don't be blind to other ways to play games.

Quoting: mylkai really dont get it who would buy small games?
It's not about the size of the games or the type of games, I'm surprised people still don't understand it. Game streaming is about the convenience - having it available basically anywhere. Plus, for people who don't have a PC with any sort of power: it opens up many more game options both big and small. I personally absolutely still prefer my local copy on my desktop but I'm also glad streaming options exist.
