Quoting: TuxeeAnd you have all the games bought previously? I am pretty sure, that the majority of my MAME games are not licensed. (Though some are.)

You can run games that you own if you like. I own all of the SNK releases during the HB and later on GOG releases. All of the Sega Genesis stuff that came out on Steam. I also have a TON of itch.io homebrew games and they work with Retroarch as is and you can use them with this.

I like this. I hope I see it on GOG or itch.io.

I like Linux because I like it.

I have Pro for free til mid-July. I will check out Chronos as the premise is interesting. Right now everyone I know is in love with The Division 2. I'm enjoying it a lot with them as it's the most pick up and go of the games I own on Stadia.

I love AssaultCube. I made a ton of maps for my friends and I to play on there. We stopped in 2019 but I can get the gang back on that.

Computer games are so cheap and often free that I just don't see the benefit. It would literally have to be the games are super expensive and never on sale for me to even consider it. I'm a Stadia user and while Pro is good, I never paid for it. I just use the free months they provide. I buy the cheap games on it and keep it moving.

Quoting: CheesenessApologies if I gave the wrong impression. This slider is something that developers can configure as part of their account settings, not something that customers have control over when buying a game.

All good. Thanks for the info and update.

Quoting: RafiLinuxI thought itch.io was always up to the dev on how much they gave back to itch itself. Did that change?

I may misremember, but my impression was that there was a range of 10%-30% to choose from.

You can set it to anywhere from 0% to 100% since open revenue sharing [External Link] launched in 2015 (before that it wasn't possible to charge for games AFIK).

The default is 10% and there are presets for 10% and 30% for convenience.

Thanks. I have to look out for that on my next purchase.

Quoting: dubigrasuWhat I like about Stadia right now as a gaming platform is, well, its users.

Very spot on. I play with a large group of women (daughters, wife, SILs, and more) and so far they all talk about how chill it is to play with others on the mic when they do join public games on Stadia.

I don't know if Stadia is doing any policing but it seems to be an easier place for others to play with strangers.

I just recently started to allow users from outside of my family and friends to join our sessions and it seems to be on the money like everyone else in my circle has been saying but you're right about how long will this last.

For now it's been back to back fun.
