Fine, I've made it clearer. I was simply following what they said.

Quoting: Klaas

Quoting: lqe5433It uses now 100% .net core?

The changelog on GitHub gives the impression that they include the mono runtime in the Linux and Mac builds. So it should probably say “no system mono required“.

Pfft semantics, it doesn't require you to have Mono so it's still correct.

Quoting: NezchanNot sure the pixel look is really helping them out here. I full-screened the video and thanks to that there were moments I couldn't even tell what was going on. Maybe because there's too much detail for the "retro" filters to make sense.

As mentioned though, I believe all of it can be toned down :). I love it though personally even with the filters, looks cool!

Quoting: tonRHope Proton will be ready for Destiny 2 and/or Destiny 2 will ready for Proton.

Yup, Kinda pumped/hyped with 'all-new reborn' Bungie. Probably I have to break my 'no tux no bux' policy..

I just hope whatever caused previous bans in Wine are sorted by then, we have until September...

Quoting: MohandevirNot going to say that you are wrong. I totally understand your point of view. But let me be the Devil's advocate, for a minute...

Quoting: liamdaweIt's not free in any form:
Base Stadia - You buy the games.

It depends on the pricing of each games and the conditions, imo. Will they be ours forever, like Steam, even if it's not sold anymore, or are these games exposed to disapearing from the store like the Netflix model? We have no clues about these aspects, yet. Personnally I expected a subscription plan, similar to Netflix, even for the base option. To me it still an interresting option.

Quoting: liamdaweStadia Pro - You pay monthly, you buy games, you get few select free.

It compares to PS Plus and Xbox pass which are popular options. It's not a new formula and it's much better thant I expected it to be. This said, probably not my bag.

Quoting: liamdaweAlso, "unfair" about paying and not having any real access to the files, what's fair about it?
Google has issues? No game.
Your net has issues? No game.

This can be replaced by: "Motherboard failure ($$$), no games, HDD failure ($$), no games, GPU failure($$$$), no games, RAM failure($), no games... Want me to go on? It's all about managing the risks. Both point of view are valid.

Quoting: liamdaweModding? Haha no.

I don't think Stadia is targeted to the 1% techy educated market share that we represent or even the hardcore gamers that mods, which, I suspect, is not the vast majority. It probably has more appeal to the Xbox and Playstation players or the Windows users that have stopped gaming because of an ageing computer and/or are due for an hardware upgrade.

Personnally I see it as a complement to my Linux rig, for games that will never be playable on my Desktop, because there will be. You know "Stadia Games and Entertainment" produced games?

For buying games, it sound very much like you buy them and keep them, not a Netflix model, that seems pretty clear to me. Otherwise, you're not buying you're renting.

Okay, now you're starting to get me to think more on it. I never even thought about components breaking down, leaving you out of playing your games. Now that's a very valid point worth something.

Want to try it out now? There's a demo on itch.io and the official site with the full release ???? coming to Steam.

A clarifying 'also' or 'only' would help to decide whether it's worth looking at the demo.....

If I knew, I would say. The developer hasn't said if the full release will only be on Steam.

Quoting: TwistedFateUgh.. The last Proton update made Warframe unplayable for me, it's a slideshow now.. Can I somehow revert to the previous Proton version? I don't see it in Proton selection..

Game Properties -> General

Bottom you should see "Force the use of a specific Steam play compatibility tool". Check it, should show a dropdown.

The problem is that Steam currently overwrites all versions in a series with the latest. So you only get 3.16 and 4.2 and their newest.

Quoting: liamdaweI remain unconvinced by it, especially now we know we will be buying games as well and you're locked to 1080p unless you also pay a monthly subscription. Buying a game, to have no real access to it with Google controlling every part of it? I mentioned before I didn't particularly like the idea of even less ownership but with a Netflix-like subscription model it might have made more sense but not if you're still paying full price.

In the world of cloud gaming this is an INSANELY affordable offer - not only it is completely free to try and enjoy on lower resolutions if you are low on cash but also the full subscription price is pretty low. And since it is Google we are talking about, I kinda expect them to trump all other services with the quality and stability.

I think it is also unfair to keep repeating how not having access to the game files is a drawback. What about the upsides of this solution? There is no download and installation time, you can seamlessly switch between devices without stopping the gaming session and you do not have to own a gaming PC or a gaming console that is capable of running the game. And one more for us, Linux fans - you do not have to deal with the Windows 10 bullshit :)

As discussed on Twitter, repeating here as it's easier.

It's not free in any form:
Base Stadia - You buy the games.
Stadia Pro - You pay monthly, you buy games, you get few select free.

Also, "unfair" about paying and not having any real access to the files, what's fair about it?
Google has issues? No game.
Your net has issues? No game.
Modding? Haha no.

Quoting: wintermuteI'm reading through the footnotes on the Google Stadia page:

Stadia Controller requires a Wi-Fi® network and a mobile device running Android 6.0, Marshmallow or later, or iOS 11 or later.

Does this mean it won't be possible to use the controller/stream games directly with/to a PC?

This is due to the launch only being on the Chromecast I believe, so it needs that to connect it all up. The wider launch shouldn't be an issue.
