facebook privacy mess aside, this cloud gaming is getting out of hands... up till now we got six major cloud services with facebook being seventh, it's like having seven consoles to play their exclusives.
Answering the question "will you use it?": no, definitely no... not this nor stadia or luna or apple arcade... I've sold my ps4 to focus on steam in my PC because i couldn't keep track of two game libraries. I prefer the simplicity of having a single store to play my games.

AliExpress (do people use it in Italy?)

Not really, more often than not there will be huge import fees, and it totally lacks support for warranty, without that it's considered grey market in italy (since there is no IVA --italian tax) and not worth the discount. It happens on amazon.it too, that's why we must be carefull to go to the list of reseller and select Amazon directly or an italian based shop, only in those cases there will be official support from the shop (fingers crossed) or amd (or gigabyte for mobos, etc.)
That's why I usually buy PC parts in retail shops like nexths.it (a small chain in nord italy with few fisical shops) they are very professional and they stick to MSRP prices with taxes applied. They even update the BIOS for newer CPUs when you buy a motherboard without extra costs.

PS: IVA is only one of the many taxes applyed to goods, being calculated in priceofitem + 22%, in case of aliexpress IVA must be paid when you receive the item on your doorstep + import fees, which only god knows how they are calculated.

Finally I will update my PC, hopefully here in italy, the 3300X will be €150/160... i cannot keep gaming with dual cores (i3 6100 now and G3258 before that).

Sure, but with new 8C16T consoles coming, I believe all AAA games are going to be multithreaded, using 16 threads efficiently. For people who want to build a gaming computer without the need to upgrade it in the next few years, I would recommend a Ryzen 7 or at least six-core Ryzen 5.

I keep hearing that since 2013 with jaguar architecture from xbox and ps4

Here in italy the R5 is still around €250 and the 3700X is €350 (directly from Amazon Prime), we all know they are a better choice for future games, but I and many others cannot afford €350 cpu, €150 RAM and €100 MOBO.
With the 3300X, mobo and ram i will be in the range of €300/350 and a pretty good gaming PC for less than a ps5, and who knows... maybe amd will keep AM4 compatibility for a few generations ahead.

Did you check the traces? I'm on Arch Linux, and I had to install lib32-json-c and symlink libjson.so.0 to libjson-c.so in /usr/lib32/ for the game to start successfully.

worked like a charm... that's why i love arch, solutions are so simple :D
Thanks mate

It would be cool to have an option for a second or third PC, like myself i have my desktop system with solus and another different desktop with steamOS, not counting various laptops.

insurgency - it's really addictive... I don't even like multiplayer games... but this one is something special. I love the maps more than anything.
GRID autosport - not a real simulation but great AI
Next month when i'll have the time i'll play firewatch and HITMAN
