something tell me the publishers are not gonna be happy about this and will try to sabotage it.
They cant do shit. What are they going to do? Stop releasing on the biggest platform?
And this boys is why we choose to give money to valve, and as a bonus steam sales are amazing. Valve really knows how to keep a steady income of profit and just dont fck with what works
valve makes more money by being decent company than many others combined who actively try to exploit users.
Valve knows when they have it good and not be greedy. They are essentially a monopoly but choose not to abuse it.
This world really does not deserve Valve
Real nice.
Good guy steam. Their family sharing beta is currently a game changer for people like me whose friends have diverse gaming interests and thus, we can try out each other’s games without the need to buy them.
If Steam or Valve ever goes public and IPOs, I'm gonna fucking kill myself.
They seem to be the only ones who aren't like going through an enshitification cycle right now.
It all comes down to who succeedes Gabe after his stepping down.
How do you get isthereanydeal inside steam?
It's the Augmented Steam extension for your browser of choice.
I believe it's the decky plugin for SteamOS

I might be wrong, hut this is at least a way to do it.
Sick thanks
It needs warnings for of a game requires you to be connected to the internet to play, and if the developer has ever deactivated usage rights to their games.
Technically you have those on the Steam Deck rating
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?
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.
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?
Agreed it was a chincy restriction. I'm glad they're righting that with the new Family Sharing.
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.
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."
This is the kind of thing that makes poeple love valve
