Good guy steam
wonder if it’s going to rat someone out by saying something along the lines of
A member of your Steam Family already owns Horny Hentai Ladies: Stupidly huge dongs GOTY
I’m still not 100% trusting that. Any time a dev comes up with a new feature like this one, they might forget to implement a check if the game is privated (or do the check and mess up properly hiding it).
Exactly. This is like someone I knew who was a CSR blowing off steam at difficult customers by hitting mute and cussing them out. Like you realize that mechanisms fail all the time, right? This dude wouldn’t entertain the idea that a mute button could fail. I tried.
I keep seeing people talking about sexual games on steam. I’ve yet to see one. I’m sure they exist … but how common are they? Do people actually play those? Even if I wanted to do so, I would instantly assume because it’s on steam there’s a chance my friends could see me playing it no matter my settings, and that would be a no-go. It’s just awkward.
It’d be like jerking off with the shades open because “well no one is supposed to be in my backyard”. Okay but what if some kids are there to get their ball or something? You have to assume unexpected things will happen in life.
This is the kind of thing that makes poeple love valve
I appreciate this, and now I’m just waiting for it to show me family library games when browsing the store. I have games on my wishlist that another family member owns. A flag that says “family library” would be appreciated - similar to “in library” and “on wishlist.”
- I don’t see it when I browse the store on my steam deck or the mobile app. Unsure if it would show this to me on the desktop app.
Has the Steam Family update launched yet? The one that lifted the limitation on playing different games from the same account at the same time. I feel like last I saw it was in beta.
Was also wondering if anyone has a good sense on how they’re policing Family Libraries. Does it work to share with close friends or am I going to want to be sure I’m sharing only with household members?
You can opt into the Family Sharing beta and get the features. You can only join one family per year so choose wisely as they say.
The one that lifted the limitation on playing different games from the same account at the same time.
That should never have been a limitation in the first place. If I have two games installed outside of Steam there’s nothing stopping me from playing both at the same time, so WTF does Valve think ever justified it?
I’m in the beta with my wife and cousin. It works great so far. I was able to try out dragons dogma 2 from the cousins account, remember why I hated dd1, and promptly un-installed it.
