Can't believe they didn't call it Stadium.

Why on Earth would they make it Nvidia exclusive given how thoroughly that company has screwed the pooch on open source drivers and consequently how dominant AMD has come to be in Linux gaming?

[-] SpacetimeMachine@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Don't Nvidia cards natively support this through gamestream? I don't know if Amd has something similar or not but you can already easily set up something like this to stream to a steam deck

The nvidia/vulkan open source driver is apparently pretty rad. I haven’t had a chance to test it myself yet since I am running a dual gpu setup that contains one gpu that isn’t supported. The original maintainer for nouveau is apparently also working at Nvidia and contributing to the project as an Nvidia employee now too soooo maybe they are turning over a new leaf?

He goes into detail in the video below. https://odysee.com/@BrodieRobertson:5/did-nvidia-just-officially-support:2

Stadia is probably the last product I'd want to be compared to, but hopefully this helps push gaming on Linux more than Stadia was able to.

[-] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 41 points 1 year ago

Stadia was pretty cool honestly, it just never caught on, and it's game library couldn't compete with other platforms.

It was magical feeling though, just being able to play any game from my library in anything with a screen. Any Chromecast, Chromebook, old PC, phone, tablet, etc. They could all run any game, and you could switch between them at any time if someone else needed the TV or something like that.

It made it easy to imagine a future where you don't worry about how to play a game, or ever spend money on a new console or upgrades, or ever have to delete games so you can wait to download another game. You just think "I want to play this game on this screen" and it works.

I didn't have good gaming gear at the time so I was all in on streaming. Stadia, GeForce now, xcloud, even moonlight on hosted locally with Gamestream. Stadia was hands down the smoothest cloud gaming of all the options I tried. Moving between TV and phone was so quick, no noticeable lag at all and constant 4k.

It's too bad their business model sucked. Most of the other game streamers have caught up now but I always wished they would have just somehow provided their tech to other services.

I had better luck with Amazon Luna but still never invested much into either since I would be forced to purchase games again specifically for that platform.

[-] clygro@kbin.social 14 points 1 year ago

awful name, there is some unrelated VNC software thing (which is vaguely similar idea of remote desktop) and the name also just sounds like a Tetris clone (because there is one called Netris)

[-] Dasnap@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Would be cool to see it support libraries outside the Steam ecosystem and have it as a general Wine platform. Would be nice to use it with some GOG games.

[-] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 year ago

Why did they name it like a multiplayer tetris and then not even offer tetris on the platform

[-] woelkchen@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Name is probably more a reference to Lutris

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I love this idea. Steam library sharing would be amazing if it can be seamless.

[-] Suavevillain@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I actually liked Stadia minus the way they wanted you to purchase games. But the tech was good and had almost no lag for me.

[-] Dark_Arc@social.packetloss.gg 0 points 1 year ago

I mean, the purchasing model was fine. It was like any other game store. It's just it was a new service and lots of people already had existing libraries they wanted to take with them ... which just isn't how that sort of thing normally works. Particularly with the way Google had it designed so that you could play purchased games without a subscription.

[-] fluckx@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Meh,

I was interested and it could be nice. But staying in the loop means registering with a discord or github account. :/

[-] fluckx@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

True, but they aren't marketing it as FOSS though.

Oh I do like this one
