Quoting: ShabbyXI don't really want to have multiple store fronts / game launchers
The whole point here is that you do not need to have those
Added as a non-steam game works, but then you don't get updates. Selling steam keys per pay-what-you-want may work, probably with a special clause that steam keys require a minimum because steam charges you or something.
Steam does not charge developers for keys. I can request 10000 keys to use on another store/bundle/giveaway and Steam is 100% ok with that.

Quoting: TheRiddickis this not just chrome?
It is basically, yes. Chromium, but with integrated Microsoft services instead of Google integrated services.

Part of a process by Microsoft to shift some of their stuff to be based on open source projects. A cost cutting measure that some suspect may eventually extend to their operating system, another source of money-bleed.

Quoting: rustybroomhandleWish people would stop thinking that Stadia's tech is some huge mystery we have to speculate about. There is info on the web site and there have been very detailed talks by developers. Maybe a recap article that consolidates all of this stuff might help people get off this weird trip.
Nobody doubt that Stadia is Debian + Vulkan...

The doubts are if the big games are actually ported to Debian + Vulkan when they could be just Windows games running on Debian + Vulkan via Proton alike compatibility layer, being that the cheapest way according to the mentality of those big publishers.

Maybe Google is earning money using DXVK and the author doesn't even know it.
Also no doubt at all there. The talks from Bungie, ID etc talk about the porting process. They are native ports.

Quoting: LinasDo we have any details on how they make these Windows-only DirectX 12 games work on Stadia? I mean, is it actually running on Linux? [Conspiracy theory intensifies]
I think all Stadia games are windows game running on Debian via compatibility layer...
Is the more cheapest process...
No, Stadia runs native Linux ports with a Vulkan based layer that works with their streaming tech.
KDE releases the Plasma 5.20 desktop - just as beautiful as ever

Not sure if it's the compositor or sddm or what, but for some reason games just feel like they run better on KDE. Have not benchmarked and purely going on feels here.
505 Games confirm that Indivisible is finished due to Lab Zero Games imploding

Aside from some crossover characters and other such fluff, was anything missing in the game? I thought it released in a finished state, with all this other stuff just being extras.
The compatibility layer Wine sees a 5.19 development release out now
