Alright after seeing their pitiful launch lineup of 30ish games, I just have to say that I feel stupid for assuming that they would have every AAA third party game on the planet at launch. If they don't quickly increase their library by a factor of 30 this will be DOA. It's basically Steam/GoG, except you need a solid internet connection to make use of it.

Also, WTF is Chromecast? Will this be needed to use the service after the base 1080 version launches?

They (Google) have to port every game engine out there to use the Vulkan API since DirectX is a no go on Linux ... (using WINE is a bad idea for performance since it just increases their operating costs of having to go through another software layer)

If you want gaming to improve on Linux or become more cross-platform then Stadia should be rooted as a positive development so that game publishers can show a path for game developers all around the world where they wouldn't have to be under the tyranny of Microsoft anymore or any other closed source system vendors ... (Sony/Nintendo) 

Yeah I almost mentioned the possibilities of this making PC Linux more mainstream. But then I remembered that PS4 runs on a custom version of Linux or Unix or whatever, and that hasn't helped Linux much. So I didn't say anything. If this made it so you didn't need windows to run 90% of PC games effectively, then that would be awesome. MS is way too greedy with their stupid policy stating that your copy of Windows is only good for a single build of your PC. What's that? You changed your RAM? Lol your Window's license has expired because according to MS you now have a "new" PC! Have fun paying an extra $35 to $100 for another copy of Windows! Also have fun if you pay $35 on a shady aftermarket seller, because MS may randomly decide that versions sold on there aren't valid! 

Honestly, I can see MS making Windows a subscription service OS in the near future. You gotta pay $5 to $10 a month for Windows. Like how Adobe and Autodesk currently screw their customers.
