The EU is going after Valve and others for "geo-blocking", a statement from Valve

Well, I wouldn't mind a bit of adjusting to local wages, because here in E-Europe, I pay ten times more for a game, than say, an US citizen.

Controller/Gamepad duplication in games that use SDL2 like RiME should also be fixed
Wow, awesome. Yes, I used an workaround for RIME, and is all good now, but having this working out of the box is so great.

Quoting: jens
Quoting: dubigrasu@jens, are you a Fellini fan? :P
Not that I know, had to google the name Fellini ;). I guess you mean the Italian film director?
Would you mind to explain? ;)
Meh, failed joke. It somehow sounded funny in my head. You kept saying (La)Strada instead of Stadia.

So I'm curious how compatible Linux/Stadia with Linux will be. Yes, is Debian and Vulkan and so on.
Take for example the UE4 and Unity editors, we currently have the option to export to Windows, Linux and various consoles.
So will there be an "export to Stadia" apart from the already existing Linux, or plain Linux will suffice?

And they're looking for SteamOS testers https://old.reddit.com/r/SteamOS/comments/aynflw/need_steamos_testers_for_game/ [External Link]
I'm a SteamOS user myself, but card games are not my cup of tea.

Valve is getting back to focusing on gaming, with non-gaming videos being retired

Quoting: pbBy the way, a recent study showed that the growth of different subscription services is driving users back to piracy, because every new platform aims to have its own exclusives and people refuse to pay for more than two subs.
Huh, this is a good point.
I have Netflix and for a while I had also Hulu and some others, but the content was somewhat overlapping so got rid of them (except Netflix yes)
Nevertheless, I was missing out certain shows and eventually resorted to Stremio, it has Linux support and works pretty good.
My main movie/TV shows resource is still Netflix, for which I pay gladly, but heck, occasionally I do step into the dark side.

In any case, you can still easily find all the movies using the Steam client in Big Picture mode, section Store > Videos. Check out for example Oats Studios movies (plenty of them free), some of them are really good, some of them downright funny, if somewhat disturbing...
