Quoting: GuestProton is typically a viable option for most of these companies. They can still continue to support us with most likely minimal effort. If they are not willing do to that, screw them. I get that they can't all support us natively, but with the tools available to them now not support us at all is bullshit in most cases if you ask me.

"Supporting" Proton still requires not only a conscious effort to test their games with Proton but to also fix their game, somehow, if they break it with Proton in an upcoming version. It's complicated and since they don't work with Proton directly, they might end up breaking it anyway since we're a niche and wait on Valve/CodeWeavers which wouldn't be a priority (we assume) unless it's a whitelisted game. At least with a Linux build, they control it and they can fix it. There's upsides and downsides to all methods - is more my point.

Quoting: scaineIt absolutely kills me that games like Destiny 2 and PUBG can now run on Linux, but I can't play them, except through Google's proprietary bandwidth hog.

Kills. Me.

I mean, great that people can benefit and play it. Especially until the end of May while it's still free. But I have zero interest in this model of gaming. And it hurts. It really hurts! :)

To each their own. I've paid a flat fee each month, got a bunch of big games to play and now PUBG too and I can play them all basically anywhere and on Linux. It's pretty nice.

Does it work with a Steam Controller?

Yes. Any gamepad Chromium/Chrome picks up correctly should work.

Nice... I was in doubt since outside of Steam the SC defaults to K+M emulation. I was wondering if you need something like Kozec's driver?

Yeah, using SC Controller makes the Steam Controller work with Stadia.

leillo1975 recently reported [External Link] the Steam Controller did not work for him using Chrome on Linux. A post [External Link] earlier in that thread listed all the peripherals that should be supported.

See above, works.

No different than a lot of games outside of Steam also needing SC Controller for the Steam Controller.

Quoting: detroutI thought most of the reason big companies don't want to support Linux is they don't want to deal with the support costs of a fragmented ecosystem.

Shipping software to a managed compute environment is easier, and I bet Google is probably handling the end user support. (Google might even have paid EA some to get them to provide games too)

Two reasons
- Developers only target the hardware Google has, far less support costs
- Stadia has full backing from Google of course, and clearly already has a market - the Linux desktop basically has Valve and they're now focused on a compat layer

Quoting: Xaero_VincentNot very useful IMO since EGS only serves Windows / Mac games and Wine is still needed anyway. Might as well just use the full EGS client. GOG Galaxy makes more sense since the store offer Linux games but not a Linux client.

Depends on your viewpoint. Running an entire client in Wine can be messy, especially through updates and so on. An actual cross-platform client that's open source and available for the platform can have plenty of advantages.

Quoting: BabaoWhisky@liam : I have a Ryzen/Vega mobile on my laptop and i have this error :
Failed to initialize Stream Session: avcodec_get_hw_config failed

Best report it to the GitHub, after ensuring you actually have VA-API setup and configured correctly on your distro.

Distro Architecture info/answer has been retired. It no longer makes sense to show 32bit/64bit as the answer is basically always the same.
