I guess with modern day's trend of hating real life friends and preaching for everyone to lock down their doors and play online alone with no option of split screen, Stadia will give those people who still have real friends a chance to once again play together on the same couch. I'm pretty sure there will be A LOT of people who would prefer to play Fortnite on Stadia rather than any other platform despite the possible latency. Sony and Microsoft will feel the pain now for not paying attention to the importance of split screen.

It would probably do better if it was sold as an actual physical board game. Why would anyone play a board game on a computer rather than a table?

SC Controller, the driver and UI for the Steam Controller is being rewritten to be more portable

Quoting: sarmadIs this driver better than valve's own driver? Valve's driver doesn't work out of the box and you have to tinker with udev files to get it to actually behave like a normal controller (for games that has built in controller support).


I don't know about other distros, but for Ubuntu and derivatives, you can install `steam-devices`, and everything should work just fine.
I am on Ubuntu as well, and no, installing `steam-devices` is not enough to get the controller to work for all games. There are still games that require tinkering with udev files.
