I see you’re pointing out the differences beyond just pricing. Your reply highlights several key points: 1) Basic needs like food are essential, while gaming is considered a discretionary expense. 2) Grocery stores operate under strict regulations and oversight, whereas the situation described lacks such controls. 3) Trust is crucial here—physical stores allow face-to-face interaction and flexible payment methods, including cash. The online gaming service raises concerns about reliability and security. 4) The type of exchange differs; physical goods versus digital services. 5) We’re still unclear on the full context of the situation, making a direct comparison challenging. A better analogy might be: going to a forum to arrange delivery from someone’s home, promising fresh groceries, but only after upfront payment. This version avoids service shutdowns and security concerns that aren’t part of the original setup.
It's not sending it to a remote server; he’s just using the Steam Link or remote play option. Because that account is shared with many, several people might already have the game installed, so Steam can stream it from any of them. Doing this will start the game on the other person’s machine while they’re doing something else, and they can do the same for you. Naturally, the intended purpose is for all computers linked to your account to belong to you, with streaming coming from your own PC rather than another user’s device.
I didn’t intend to address the trust section of your message. What really bothered me was the statement about paying for someone’s services. It suggests people shouldn’t cover costs just because they expect more later—this ignores the reality of higher expenses down the line and misses opportunities for better value. The idea that short-term savings justify long-term losses isn’t valid. Trust is important, but so is evaluating actual costs and benefits.
In terms of groceries, you’re paying a fee for convenience, which is understandable, but it’s worth considering whether the service truly adds value compared to other options. The quality of food matters more than the price tag.
