Some invade bodies, boil rivers, crush bones, grow in darkness, or behave in ways nature probably should have reconsidered. Your job: scan them, classify them, master them. Enter the lab. The specimens are waiting.

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Steam Link at none against EWW's 1. Steam Link also leads on device support (6 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
