Steam Family/Friend Sharing on it's way

It wont work with alll games. Sadly, people like Ubisoft, EA, THQ, Capcom and other major gaming companies are assholes compared to Valve.

So it wont be surprising if it's a very small library. Not Vales fault of course, just greedy assholes who don't accept steam as the norm.

Edit: Actually capcom woke up and use steam now

Microsoft - "We have anti-consumer policies but they're good for you, trust us and don't pay attention to that whole NSA thing..."

Gamers-

 

Valve - "We have a family share program!! it's limited but we've earned your trust over the years and we'll improve, you know you love it!!"

Oh, I caught one. ... Still Microsoft's idea, despite your feelings about them. There are many people who don't feel slighted by Microsoft so they may not share that sentiment. TheEroica

Microsofts would probably be much seedyer intentions compared to Valve. People in general, like and trust Valve because they saved gaming.

And they say Microsoft doesn't bring good competition.

Good to see this feature coming to Steam.

The godly keep getting godlier! :D

There were rumors of this earlier this year based off of Steam database entries. That was before MS had ever said a word about Family Sharing

Cool.

Nice i'll ask my friend to share some of his games with me so i can get some achievements.

Why care about Steam achievements? You can just unlock them all.

So like the old Xbone policy?

Apparently worse since this is limited to one PC. Just different family members using the same PC.

that was already possible

Not really. You have to be on the same computer for this to work. This just allows you to keep your own Steam account private yet people on the same PC as yours can play your games. Rigth now you would have to let the person log into your Steam account.

I misread. The system does prevent you from playing somebody else's library if you start playing any game on your library.

It's very limiting. 

Actually I could use this and play through the COD single player without buying the game because I'm sure my friend will buy it :P

[QUOTE="Wasdie"]

[QUOTE="parkurtommo"] Then why do they have the system that prevents simultaneous gameplay? How does one play the 2 of the same game on 2 different accounts on the same computer?II_Seraphim_II

Thanks BPoole. 

Seriously, this is awesome. Often when buying single player games in Steam Sales, I assign one to my account, the next one to the gf's etc, so that we can usually get on an account to play these games. 

We're both living in the residence and often use the same computers. In a disc based world of course we'd be sharing games. This sharing mitigates one of the negatives of PC gaming for me. 

Great news.

Nobody but me uses my PC. 

This is kind of pointless. PC gamers generally do not share PCs.
