The base game of Destiny 2 is of course free-to-play, but some of the most relevant activities are tied to paid expansions, potentially making it expensive to maintain the checkpoint service. "Then the Macro simply goes back to the first window and begins the process all over again." I suspect anything involving macros runs foul of Bungie's terms of service, but given that checkpoint sharing is such a ubiquitous and accepted part of the community, it feels like something the studio can continue turning a blind eye to. "We use a macro that sends Stadia some inputs, then moves on to the next window until all have been sent inputs in a given cycle," Lai says. These days he maintains 11 Stadia accounts, all running off a single desktop containing an i7-7700k processor, 32GB of RAM, and no graphics card. I thought about how it would save electricity, resource usage, and give the ability to have multiple instances open at once." It was only when crossplay (opens in new tab) came out that I had the idea for Google Stadia. "I eventually decided to make an alternate account which I ran on a gaming laptop that would just hold a single checkpoint whose account ID would get posted in the LFG Discord. "Originally, it started as me using my main account in LFG offering checkpoints," he said.
