Bring back DS download play! Maybe one day they’ll let you play with others who don’t have the game, using this to install a temporary multiplayer-only copy… EDIT: Of course they already have something similar, https://store.steampowered.com/remoteplay https://store.steampowered.com/remoteplay. So "one day" might be sooner than I thought

Steam remote play?

  that isn't quite the same, ds download play sent a small multiplayer-only to the guest device, independent of the host device. Remote play merely streams your whole session over. The only thing close for the PC market I can think of is It Takes Two and its "Friends Pass"

    Operation Tango is another example of a free install for player 2.

    The PSP had game sharing, basically the same: send a small multiplayer/demo copy.

      Some Gameboy Advance games had it, too. Advance Wars was one of them.

Huh, I was just thinking of that myself, but I didn't know Steam already had this feature. It's a great idea and something I'd like to make more use of.
