Me too brother, but I disagree with your assessment on value
An non-blacklisted residential IP address with reasonable throughput is valuable in and of itself. DDOS botnets, proxies to bypass geo blocks or to obfuscate illicit traffic, etc. Also your gaming PC could be used for distributed compute workloads of compromised, usually crypto mining.
Any hardware/connection has value if it’s “free”. It’s just a numbers game beyond that.
Mother of god. They might steal my ‘Brown’ Elemental, that eats excrement and excretes clean, potable water. It will cimb up your ass and kill you if you sleep in the sewers. They definitely are going to steal this, specially.

Man, I wish these people would fucking be cool. I just want to play games. There is nothing valuable on my desktop for you

You’ve convinced me. They want access to my connection and maybe some processing power; they DON’T want my dungeons and dragons notes.
When ML training farms run out of new text to train on, “they” may very well want your original writing too…
