Another one for the Google (and Valve) graveyard, this time it's Steam for Chromebooks as it's being killed off early next year.

Pour one out for another Google graveyard product.

    I’ve installed Steam using Crostini in the past and played CounterStike using it. It was technically playable, but not good performance wise. Although I do have a higher spec Chromebook now, so maybe it would be better. Although many Chromebooks are lower spec, so it’s possible there aren’t enough games that are reasonably playable.

    I’m guessing the point of this project was to make it as easy as installing Android apps, a “one click” install.

      Just tested again with a few different games.

      • Counter Strike Source, same results.
      • VVVVV, played just fine.
      • Animal Well, wanted a controller and then threw an error.
      • Binding of Issac Rebirth, failed to load.

      So it looks like I’d have to dig in and figure out why some failed to play. Any big games are probably out.
