First set of games includes...

buying AAA titles to stream them through Google's network

I'm confused, you still have to buy the games, right ?

Then why is it restricted to a set of games ? All the other video game streaming solution let you run any game.

About it being a set of games...

Isn't it obvious? They still need to work with the developer, to get the games working on Linux + Vulkan and supporting Stadia APIs and getting it all setup on their servers. It's not like Google can just come along, take any single game and let you stream it.

Valve did it. (including a bunch of optimization to start encoding a direct3D stream to reduce input delay)

They could have used a similar technology as a failover for non Stadia ready games.

Limiting the number of games is a huge deal.

Valve already have those games on their store, there's a huge difference. I'm really not sure where the confusion is, Stadia is a brand new store and service. Every store has to have a contract with a developer, Stadia is no different. Again, they cannot just take any game and put it on Stadia.

Quoting: PatolaThat's weird, almost no Linux natives. Are all these games streaming from and running on Linux?

Stadia is Debian + Vulkan, so yes.

Quoting: rkfgYeah, this is very unexpected considering they're making BL3. BL2 was released in 2012, 7 years ago, and they STILL make DLCs! That's a Paradox level of dedication I admit. Hopefully it will be ported/whitelisted (aren't DLCs just content by definition? They shouldn't need porting technically) by Aspyr shortly.

It all depends if the base game needs updating to accommodate any new possible features. Since we're already behind on patches, it might not work unless Aspyr get the update out first.

This might explain the high definition textures DLC delay. Aspyr sure knew this story DLC is in the works so they might've waited to update the base game and push all this in one go.

I'm fully expecting that to be the case.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPWhat a weird announcement. Omitting all infos about gameplay.
I mean, if they say 5th edition, then at least it will be an RPG in some form I guess?

To me, it shows a lack of confidence next to Bloodlines 2. I'm assuming given the "interactive story" mention, it will be some kind of text-based almost visual-novel style.
