Generally I'd ignore anyone running computers this garbage because they're not going to have the money to buy games anyway. It's like trying to make a BMW for the homeless market.

How do you know that the money I saved on hardware isn't going straight to games that I can stream to it from my desktop over steam link?

I don't. Just like I don't know that the homeless aren't sitting on BMW money. I'm betting it's such a small percentage it's not worth targeting.

If you are streaming from a desktop, surely your desktop is the one that should be targeted, and it'll show up in the stats as well.

One would hope! But sadly they caught me with my pants down this time.
