@steamdb:
Valve is working on "Steam Cloud Gaming" according to partner site code update. Partners will need to sign an addendum to their terms. Could this be a competitor to @GoogleStadia? https://t.co/7AQ9YxCol8

    (Edit: Assuming this your entire Steam Library, but streaming from the cloud,) this is going to be rough for any of your cloud PC services that have to compete on price, and very rough for one Google Stadia that has to complete with a 10 year head start in library depth. Xcloud is probably going to be okay, since it's in the Microsoft ecosystem and they are probably getting by on Game Pass.

    Having beta tested GeForce Now, I am a big fan of the project and if Steam is either going to mesh all of these together, or offer multiple options for cloud hookups within the Steam Marketplace, I'm curious on how this is going to turn out.
