Apparently the developers had to make it specifically compatible with an in house distro of linux used by Stadia. Which is kinda stupid, since it means that games released on Stadia which would have otherwise been natively usable on Linux systems, are not.
- dijit 5y agoI can't talk about gamelets as I explicitly signed an NDA preventing me from doing so. But it's not "very custom", it's just Linux. If you make it work on Stadia it will work on Linux. The main thing holding back releases on Linux is that: 1) The userbase is percieved as very small. 2) SDK features (such as entitlement checking, authorization, authentication) are only working on Windows (and Stadia is a trusted platform, so bugs aren't as big of an issue, people are relentless at abusing software they have direct access to) 3) The distribution platform outside of Steam (which is a bugbear in the AAA games industry due to being very expensive and prone to moodswings about what content is agreed and so on) doesn't exist on Linux at all.
