I'm interested in a key.

Looks to be a pretty massive game.

ugh... I started this game just to try it out... ended up card bashing for 10 hours.

Pretty good for a free early access game. Lots of room for it to grow too.

Can't believe it's already been two years! I remember my initial excitement when it first came out. It's definitely become a pretty reliable system, with those aforementioned multiplayer anti-cheat systems being the last great barrier.

Tried to play this one but couldn't make it to the title screen due to crashes. Tried emailing their support and never got a response :(

Is it just me, or does it seem like all of the stadia exclusives/firsts are targeted toward children audiences? I wonder if that's intended.

I was going to try to play the ranked mode in PUBG but it seems it's only for controllers. A bit disappointing since I can't even seem to get my steam controller to work with Stadia.

Looks like monthly releases have more or less levelled off. I'm curious as to what the linux monthly releases look like in comparison to to all monthly releases, but I'd assume that the latter is continuing to grow, which would mean that the percentage of games releasing that support linux is actually decreasing. :'(

Got to try it out today. Gave Destiny 2 a spin, I was pretty impressed with how fluid everything seemed. I don't seem to have the lag/input delay that others are having. As for the game... I got a pretty "meh" feeling from it so far.

Here's to hoping that Stadia library will keep expanding!

Quoting: Eike
Since Stadia will work on Linux and it's powered by Linux, here's what is newly announced for it:
[...]
Uplay+ - an extra subscription service, with access to 100+ games.
This does mean the games do not need to run natively on Linux.
Ubisoft won't port 100+ games...
I imagine that devs will be releasing on Stadia and not doing native Linux releases so that they can design for only one OS and not "Linux".

It also seems that Google is willing to take on part of the porting process as well as support, which are still the major reasons (outside of third party tools and exclusive contracts) that devs are saying they won't support native Linux versions.

Personally I find the development of Stadia more intriguing than Steamplay, because they are promising to support Linux users, whereas Steam has still been pretty vague about what their support will look like.

What about Stadia news and all the games that will be running on stadia?
