I wrote a snarky comment, but I changed my mind and deleted it. Actually I'd like to see a "hands -on" review of this, from some independent reviewer.
People liked (and some still do) to mock the Steam Controller touch-pads, as useless, not-usable/etc, but after using them for years I think they're best thing for a controller to have.
So yeah, I'm curious.

Quoting: dubigrasuThe demo is Linux native.

It's only showing Windows for me.

Ignore that, it does have a Linux version, they probably forgot/didn't bothered to update the steam page.

Might wanna force the vulkan build with -force-vulkan since the OpenGL build is somewhat under-performing.

in the full version the game did freeze for me with vulkan. I can use the menu but if I start a game the game freezes in the loading screen.

I'm not sure if the Vulkan build is even tested. From what I've seen so far, many devs only test the GL build, and the Vulkan option is available only because is added by default by Unity (for Linux builds). Which sucks because while Vulkan might offer better performance, it tends to be buggy (since is not tested).
Might be worth to report this.

Quoting: PublicNuisanceIs anyone else fed up with this annoying trend of developers not having a Linux version of their demo ? Also the part of the Linux system requirements including passmark scores is funny since it has no Linux version. I hope the game is good and I am lad they made a Linux version but the above is reason to be concerned about how much effort they put into the Linux port.

So I tried the demo which ran using Proton. The game was kind of janky, but the story; character creation; and RPG elements were all solid.

The demo is Linux native.

Quoting: Eikethey are working hard on making you subscribe and not use the free streaming. .

Well of course they do :) Every commercial entity worth their salt will want you to use the payed stuff and not the free one.

But at the same time they don't make/force you to subscribe.
From Stadia's landing page, right below "Try now":

Buy more of your favorite games. No subscription needed

You can pay for each game and not paying for the streaming service.

Quoting: t3g. ...they made you pay for each game on top of paying for the steaming service.

No, they didn't. Why do you guys keep saying this?

Quoting: Arcadius-8606

Quoting: 1xokThey lost me when they discontinued mouse and keyboard input.

Which game did this? I'm on KB+M and everything works even MK11.

He's likely talking about PUB. Initially it was playable with both gamepads or KB+M, and it used different cross-play features/servers depending on what you were using (gamepad vs KB+M). I think gamepad users were cross-playing only with console players for example.
Eventually though they discontinued the KB+M option arguing that nobody used it, although later many were unhappy with that.
But from what I understood at the moment, that was a PUB developers decision, not Stadia's, and presently you can use both input methods on any game except PUB (AFAIK).

Quoting: dubigrasubuy games individually OR pay monthly

buy games individually OR pay monthly or just play the free games.

I got a few games from Stadia via of their rewards program. The rest of the games I play on there are free. No pro or payment card needed.

Oh yeah, forgot about that one :) Not sure how many they are, I think is at least Destiny 2, which can be a real time sink-hole.

• Rainbow Six: Extraction


• PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS


• Destiny 2


• SUPER BOMBERMAN R ONLINE


• Super Animal Royale


• Nine To Five Early Access


• HITMAN - Free Starter Pack


• Crayta

Wow, what? Rainbow Six: Extraction? (brb)
Oh yeah, trial for two hours version...hm, I never liked this two-hours free thing. Ubisoft likes to do that apparently. I think they did the same with the Division 1 once, but it sucked. Better have a free level (or week) to mess with and methodically get the hang of things, two hours instead fly out fast and you're still clueless (I was anyway).
