My brother bought his old beetle 10 years ago by R$2500 which is US$640.

For the full price you can buy a beetle and even get new seats or a new engine here

Quoting: devnullNext question is shipping from where. I don't know of any distributor with stock yet.

From the USA. They build that stuff in their own factory.

If Valve don't licence their hardware to third party manufacturers from around the world, it will be a complete commercial failure... It seems that nobody learned nothing from the VIDEOCASSETTE war.

Why? Seems to work fine for the Steam Controller.

Maybe if you live in the USA or another country with an strong currency...
But for the rest of the world, specially countries like Argentina, is impossible...
You won't find an Steam controller at retail stores...And if you do, it will be more expensive than an Xbox controller.

Here in Argentina, you will find an Steam controller for about 100 and 150 U$D at digital store Mercadolibre..
meanwhile, an Xbox 360 wireless is about 70USD.

I repeat. If they don't learn from the mistakes of the past, they will do it again...

Probably Valve is not trying to reach Argentina and other countrys like it right now. VR market is proving to be a complicated market, Sony is not doing well even with the massive PS4 base and the low price compared to the VR headsets on PC.

HTC is not doing well. Oculus is betting on cheaper and social apps for VR. Microsoft had talks with a lot of partners about mixed reality and didnt even made a noise in the industry.

Now Valve is entering this market with its own money, a market that no one is fully certain that if has a future, and what future it has. They are being cautious, surely they want to invest in North America and EU because this are estabelished markets that have bigger chances to work with less risks.

If they were to invest in a global scale, to reach even Argentina, they would need way more money, and with VR they are not sure if they going to have return of investment

Quoting: WJMazepasI honestly believe that devs will port games to Stadia but wont port to Linux.

If they wanted to, Ubisoft could already have released Assassins Creed Odyssey for Linux if they have a build working on Stadia.
Or Id Software, who said that they could easily port Doom to Linux but wouldnt do it because the executives didnt wanted to release on Linux.

Not every company is as messed up as Ubisoft and Bethesda. I.e. I don't expect many legacy publishers starting being more interested in releasing for desktop Linux, but this definitely lowers the barrier for those who are already releasing for Stadia.

Some more forward thinking publishers could be more desktop Linux friendly and Stadia could be the tipping point for them to start releasing for Linux in general. I.e. I wouldn't use Ubisoft and Bethesda as a good case study. Rather like bad ones.

The problem is that this days there is so much good tools to port games to Linux and the companys still dont release their games.

I believe that we need a lot more users for then to start growing interest in Linux.

For a technical standpoint, they are making a game for Linux in Stadia and there are no differences, but from a business standpoint Stadia is Stadia, not Linux. It's a gaming cloud platform by Google.
They will port Skyrim to Stadia but not Linux. Doom Eternal was already announced to Stadia but not Linux.

Porting to Linux can be easy as a click of a button, but until the executives from all this companys dont change their minds about Linux, then it wont change anything.

EPIC store does not support Linux.

The other day on Twitter someone asked them about Proton on the Epic store, they said they couldn't because of the tech they used. But then went on to say they were hiring Linux people... I guess that doesn't necessarily mean they will be working on a client but its something.

I mean, after all the news envolving Epic Store recently about data, games and etc, do we really want that on Linux?

Quoting: Xaero_VincentDoes Steam Link Anywhere work with the Linux client or only Android and Steam Link hardware?

Can you use it to stream Windows games to a Linux box over the Internet?

It is already possible to do over your own house, so probably will be possible to do this with Steam Link Anywhere too
