Parsec is a tech/app, it's not a service as you think it is. They're basically making a bridge between cloud renting and their app, like an integration, you can't really say that parsec is expensive, they don't rent computing power at all :)
Parsec as tech/app is indeed awesome! Together with Steam Link app, they're the best we currently have.
- blixt 8y agoI’m not saying it’s expensive, but that the service they’re offering is obtuse and anxiety inducing because you’re economically “punished” as soon as you stop playing. And they offer this service under their own brand and never leaving their site, so I don’t agree with your dismissal that this is just an integration. It’s a service they offer and they are taking my money for it. Money I gladly paid, I just wish the service I got was simplified.
- fneves 8y agoAnyway, you see in their app Amazon and Paperspace, the prices are not decided by them. I'm not saying it's cheap, but paperspace it's the cheapest I've seen for cloud gaming. Anyway, my use of parsec is my home computer, so I don't really have the difficulties you're facing.
