It seems that Valve might be working on a competitor for Google Stadia. Based on the /SteamTracking information found on github the Steam Games partner portal page contains the following line of code:
function SignLatestCloudGamingAddendum(returnURL)
Of course nothing is certain at this point but after the recent news of Valve and EA working together, it could very well be true. This streaming service could possibly be Valve’s response to Google Stadia, PlayStation Now, Xbox Cloud Streaming, GeForce Now and others.
Valve has not confirmed any of these yet, so if anything chances we will make sure to let you know.
Below you can read the original post on Twitter.
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

Thanks SteamDB.
Chris was born in the early 80’s along with the very birth of home gaming. After spending many maaany drachmas on arcades, his father decided to buy him a PC instead of going bankrupt. He lived through the advancing and development of the gaming industry, having played TONS of games on all platforms. He is always honest and will never hesitate to give his true opinion on a game no matter what. Loves stealth games and dislikes microtsansactions, DLC and pre-ordering…who doesn’t after all?!

Another useless feature.
Like it or not (i personally don’t), it’s the future (not the near one at least).
Epic maybe would consider this in 50 years after adding the shopping cart finally…
Epic already has shopping cart for Unreal Engine store. Utter lazy brats.
Better to have “useless” features than to have none. *Ehem* EGS.
I bet if EGS came out with it you’d be saying “Excellent”. EGS and Steam Fanboys are one in the same. God you people are stupid. Well you’re a robot so you get a pass.
XD high five ma nibba 😀
Timmy Tencent’s bots like Fernando Diaz are about as effective as CNN and Hillary’s fabled Russian bots!
I bet you wold say EXCELLENT if EGS would do this huh? You fa..ot
HAHA, Jinx, we typed it at the same time.
You’re usually so positive, Fernando. It’s almost like the accusations against you are true.
hey steam….
how about…..
MAKE SOME FING GAMES FFS HUH?
HL3 confirmed after this comment
Really not interested in cloud gaming unless Valve’s approach is to
allow access to your Steam library from low performance devices. e.g.
tablet, phone, etc.
This is terrible news. I want the whole concept of streaming games to crash and burn so catastrophically that it becomes radioactive and no other company wants to ever touch it again. For God’s sake Gabe just let Goolag fail miserably and let this horrible idea die the painful death it deserves.
It’s up to people now. Vote with your wallet. Hopefully it will go better than with DLCs.
Look at the bright side, if Google with all their resources fails (and they usually do with a lot of their projects) there’s not much competition in the air for them to give it a try.
The industry don’t give a damn about you, like it or not, this is the future of video games: Always online, Microtransaction, Dog-$hit games that no one ask for. You only have 3 options: accept or go Retro till 2012/2015, or give up on games.
Guess someone didn’t like reading the truth.
Probably they think that i like where the future is going.
That’s the type of cement-headed thinking you get these days. If you say it, then you must endorse it.
I want this this to be an option. not the industry standard.
so long as this is presented as a option then i’m fine with it.
Wishful thinking. Futile, but wishful.
Terrible news would be the death of Steam if they didn’t compete with Google. Imagine a future of Google monopoly in games. No, thanks.
Oh nice. Did they manage to make the internet work on tachyons so that I won’t have an absurd latency and have the video be of 2002 quality?
Cool. You can still shove it up your a**. I’ll keep things under my lock and key, not yours.
“ll keep things under my lock and key, not yours.”

Streaming games will never be popular LOL, just do the math no point.
I dont like the idea of streaming as has been implemented, buuuut if you can stream without a loss of quality at 4K with max settings on a potato, that might be interesting in the future.
i think this guy is farming for downvotes
Just some poor soul seeking attention, best for all of us is to ignore.
NO
PLEASE NO
F**k streaming and not just games but movies and music too.
u STILL mad bro
Haha, I usually like to scroll down and read comments for fun on sites, participate, but damn this place is so full of toxic drivel, and crass dudes (juvenile?) swinging their entitled internet dicks around. It’d be amusing if it wasn’t so shameful. This site definitely draws in the douche.
Toxic = Pu$$y
Next.
