The confirmation came from the Steam support staff earlier this month when Resetera forum user delete12345 asked Steam support if he can put his Steam library in...
Oh interesting. Yeah they just released a family function that’s currently in beta. You can add multiple people and you all share the library. It’s really cool. But I can’t imagine they’re going to let it stay as is. Super easy to abuse lol
Yeah, but Valve doesn’t really give a shit if it’s abused. Steam is a solitary positive example of the weird “(mostly)benevolent monopoly” idea. GabeN owns the company, there aren’t any shareholders to appease, so as long as he’s alive steam will be solid. I hope he has a successor picked out that can uphold his ideals.
We don’t know that because the program is 1) in beta and 2) like 2mo old. We’ll see where it ends up. I like valve currently but we’ve seen plenty of companies about face on great features and Gabe isn’t immortal. Plus…yeah the feature is being abused dude. They have no check on families. They allow you to share with 5 people of your choice. One buddy and I share and he now has 200 more games I got almost 700. Between our group of 4 we all now have almost 2000 games. It’s absurd.
