Of course, the above is just a potential scenario.
This could potentially lead to a not-so-good scenario for me. However, what if she is trying to get an achievement like “play this mode x number of hours” or “defuse a bomb x amount of times”? Through this program, I would either have to wait for my turn to use my account, or login and kick her off of it, which then “encourages” her to buy the game. “Wait a second!” you exclaim, “She can have her own achievements and not screw up your stats in the process!” Well, ok. I can do the exact same thing by logging onto my account for her. Even though I own both games in my library, only one of us can use my library at a time. How? By restricting how many people can be accessing the same library to one, it effectively cancels out any sort of advantage it is trying to establish with Family Sharing.įor example, if I want to play Counter Strike and my girlfriend wants to play Tomb Raider, we can’t. In only two lines, the folks at Valve have essentially rendered this program almost useless. "No, a shared library may only be accessed by one user at a time.” “Can a friend and I share a library and both play at the same time?" You see, if you look at the official FAQ on the Steam Family Sharing Group page, you will find this little blurb:
#If you own a game on steam do you own it for mac and pc Pc
While this could potentially be a great thing for PC gamers, the program has one MAJOR flaw. According to Valve, this will let our families be able to play games like Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs or Team Fortress 2 on their accounts, on their machines, without them having to hog up our PCs that we just spent $2000 building and then finding out someone just left a huge scratch in the case “by accident.” Sounds Great, Right? Not so fast. With Steam Family Sharing, you will be able to share your entire library with up to ten different devices, and subsequently, ten different people.
