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! |
Unlike those behind the PS4, at least the people behind Stadia don't force developers to use another proprietary gfx API like GNM on PS4 ...
We may not agree with Google Stadia's business model but we should embrace the politics behind it because the platform is powered with open source technology which makes it far more likely for game developers in the future to release their games on Linux ...
If we want to effectively combat Microsoft's interests then we need to rally behind Stadia since it has the most potential to open up gaming on Linux ... (getting developers to have a Vulkan backend is half way through the work for a potential Linux version)
IMO Stadia depending if Google has the longevity to invest in it is the best way to destroy Microsoft's monopolistic grip on PC gaming ...
