Unfortunately we have decided to discontinue our Stadia product. All of the games in your Stadia Library will be available until June 30th, 2021, after which they will be permanently unavailable. You can not download these games, nor will any refunds be issued.

game streaming isn't going to work in the US, land of monopolies, bad infrastructure, and bandwidth caps. it'll be at least 25 years before consistent low latency connections will be available to normies, assuming the country doesn't collapse into an agrarian society before then should do ok in the first world tho, where retail hardware is expensive and good connections are already cheap and widespread

No one expects an instant success. But even if this week’s launch evokes snark or yawns, Google will keep at it. Google+ is not a product like Buzz or Wave where the company’s leaders can chalk off a failure to laudable ambition and then move on. “We’re in this for the long run,” says Ben-Yair. “This isn’t like an experiment. We’re betting on this, so if obstacles arise, we’ll adapt.” “I don’t really see what Google’s alternative is,” says Smarr. “People are going to be a fundamental layer of the internet. There’s no going back.” https://www.wired.com/2011/06/inside-google-plus-social/

Vfx industry is crazy amounts of custom in house tooling plus tons of random off the shelf junk you have never heard of (Houdini, Notch). They probably use Vulkan in some tools but are not coordinated enough to pick up the pieces if Google eats the dust. They do not care about Android.

The Franz wasn't saying they did, they were saying that vfx isn't windows-centric and so has a use for a cross-platform graphics api

Vulkan's loving amazing under any platform (c.f. Doom) so it's going to be fine, as for Stadia you can just look at the Games thread to see how excited everyone is for it

There is no business case for porting a game engine to use Vulkan.

The more interesting Vulkan thing at the moment is the fact that the raspberry pi 4 is capable of supporting it, since it has a new videocore 6 soc I wouldn't expect anything as powerful as the Switch from noted GPU designer uhh, Broadcom, but it will be interesting to see what it's capable of nonetheless

Update on Steam, Ubuntu, and 32-bit support

dropping 32 bit seems like ubuntu trying to imitate apple. while that’s often a good idea (see: systemd), this time not so much, especially without imitating the part where you start dropping clues multiple years in advance and explicit timelines more than a year before the first no-32-bit release drops. sounds like valve was told about this far too late to react and now everyone’s scrambling to find the least damaging way to proceed (a bunch of steam games are going unsupported in macOS Catalina for exactly this reason but at least they had time to plan out whatever response seemed best)

The question of support for 32-bit x86 has been raised and seriously discussed in Ubuntu developer and community forums since 2014. That’s how we make decisions. seems like someone is misrepresenting the exchange between ubuntu/canonical and valve, ubuntu devs are saying "we told you we were going to do this more than a year ago, you seemed to be on board", valve saying "you sprung this on us for this release and we had no idea this was going to happen" not sure which i believe, maybe both are true and the people working on steam linux now are not the ones who were part of that (alleged) conversation whether a year+ of notice is reasonable is a different question of course
