![]() ![]() Thats like tonight's lesson for the forums lately isn't it? Lol. What you FEEL it is for doesn't matter in the face of what it was ACTUALLY implemented for. Thanks for reading my rant and complaint. Maybe if we can gather enough up-votes/support/re-posts Valve will actually fix their greed driven ways. I've been a fan of Valve for 25 years and this is ruining that experience now that I have a family. Xbox and Playstation provide an actual Family share concept where multiple profiles can play the same game at the same time on numerous consoles with only one game purchase. We deserve to use that game as we see fit, just the same as any car, house, or parcel of land. People wonder why its a big deal and the big deal is that we paid for a game. And since only one person can even access a library at a time there is no actual sharing involved. The name needs to be changed as its misleading. Your entire reply seems like an attack on a strawman character to me.Originally posted by Dozer:The entire point of a FAMILY sharing any game would be to play them together at the same time. Fourth off, what single player game has a license? Not one by a good publisher that's for sure. Third off, bold of you to assume I'm avoiding buying games. Todo esto es posible autorizando equipos compartidos y usuarios. Second off, this "compromise" you speak of is very one sided and does away with the vast majority of the functionality you speak so generously of. El prstamo familiar de Steam permite a familiares e invitados jugar a los juegos de otros, obtener sus propios logros de Steam y guardar sus partidas en Steam Cloud. First off, renting isn't even the core of my argument, rather more of an added on question. The kind of flexibility you want requires multiple licenses. That's what most people usually miss, you have to login to every device at least once to enable it for family. As you said, still doesn't help with games before purchase, but it is a nice way to see the ones already in your account at a glance. First you need to enable Library Sharing in your account setting, then login to friend's or family member's computer with your account, logout and login back with friend's or family member's account. yeah I figured that out once I saw the page haha, but bookmarked it to see directly in future. And at the end of the day it's not there to save you money or give you a way to avoid buying games. The long way there is Account Details>Manage Family Library Sharing>Show excluded games. Valve is a store, not a rental shop, and they don't need facilitate renting or features that would enable renting because they'd be convenient for you.įamily sharing is a compromise to give you some functionality, but not free reign to run amok. If you want to swap physical discs around, sounds like you should buy physical discs and games that don't require a launcher. Originally posted by Snakub Plissken:What shops do you rent PC games from? I never saw one.īut let's pretend there is. But that's a hassle, and so the best bet is to get your games from DRM-free sources, which will let you actually handle your digital games the way you'd handle physical media - i.e., treating every game as a separate thing, rather than arbitrarily gluing everything to one account. The entire point of a FAMILY sharing any game would be to play them together at the same time. It's inconsistent, and there's no indication on Steam for which games are such, so you'll need to use trial and error.īut as for games you'll get in the future.well, you could get each game on a different account, so they can be played in any combination. they'll let you play without Steam running) others may not. Some games will let you play while offline or even outright be DRM-free (i.e. Well, for the games that you have on your account right now, you can play games using Steam's offline mode (as brian9824 mentioned), or try to run the games without Steam running. You can't even play two games on two computers both signed into your same Steam account sitting next to each other right in front of you. That said, you've highlighted yet another problem with how Steam works.
