And another bit of info (quote from their blog):

Wow, Cedega :) I haven't seen that name in a loong time.
I remember a Mandriva release from 2006 or so, that had Cedega and Flatout preinstalled, it ran quite well.

Regarding how DXVK can be used for certain games on Stadia:
https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2019/11/d9vk-developer-is-working-on-allowing-dxvk-to-help-linux-ports-for-direct3d-to-vulkan

Could be this or maybe a similar implementation, we can't say, but that's the basic idea.

Well, trying to define what is native or wrapper is like opening a can of worms, that sooner or later ends in a bloodbath of arguments. I've seen epic battles on reddit about this.
I wouldn't dare to try a definition, that's why I said "native".

You don't need Proton/Wine to use DXVK.

I would buy it for sure, it looks nice (at least in the pictures) is running Linux and seems overall a cool piece of hardware...but all this flies out of the windows when I look at the price.

That doesn't mean they are not Linux ports, hope we don't start again with the conspiracies.
I imagine is somethings analogue with Feral's Linux ports, they have their inside tech (Indirectx, which is also using its own caches) to translate directx to vulkan, and these guys are using dxvk instead, which is why is mentioned in the actual game credits.
As long as we consider Feral ports "native" I suppose Metro ports are also "native".

(btw, Watch Dogs Legion and Sekiro were just released on Stadia)

All Metro games are using DXVK on Stadia in a form or another. If you download your Google data you can find dxvk caches for Metro games.

Quoting: nepoSix new games are a welcome addition to the pro subscription! However I don't get the idea behind for adding games that the customers may already have bought (like Risk of Rain 2 and Republique)? I didn't own them personally, but were shortly before buying Risk of Rain 2. As a regular pro user I would NOT be happy paying for something which is shortly afterwards added to my subscription. So is it really a good idea letting the (pro-) customers think twice about any purchases they may like to make (to estimate the chance the game will be added to pro in the very near future)? For me, I don't think so...

(I hope you can understand my text, I'm not a native speaker and my practical knowledge is limited :dizzy:)

There may be a rationale behind it (or not), but I agree, I was thinking about buying Risk of Rain 2 (overwhelmingly positive on Steam) but now I feel less and less inclined to buy any game on Stadia knowing that I may get it for free later.

Huh, although the graphic style is rather different, I feel some Machinarium vibes in here. Is the music perhaps?
In any case, it looks excellent.
