It wouldn't surprise me if that is next on the chopping block. Does Steam Link allow you to purchase games from the app?

And even so, you're not allowed to sign up or renew your membership via an iOS app. Heck, I don't think you're even allowed to link to a web browser page from the app itself. Well... you are allowed to pay from the app, but

Wow, that's impressive losing that big a piece of hardware. Though it was likely easier to find than that Novell Netware server that was sealed behind some drywall, with only a stray network cable leaving any clue as to where it was.

People in general are hugely sensitive to perceived unfairness. This is a critical thing to maintain in any organization. For example, you can take a group of five billionaires. Give the first four a little tax break for something, which
