Ha. Even without family sharing Steam is still the best platform for game purchases. Family sharing not being what you want hardly invalidates the rest of the platform.
I always saw family sharing as something for a family that shares a single PC, letting the family only have to purchase one copy of the game for the household.
- infogulch 4y agoIt's an irritating policy because it illuminates the fact that you don't actually own the games. If you actually owned two games you could play them on two separate systems, while being logged out of steam.
- xeromal 4y agoIt's pretty obvious whenever you purchase a game and you have to accept the steam "subscriber" agreement. FWIW, I think steam is the lesser of many weevils so I deal with it.
- bombolo 4y agoGames on CD allowed you to play on LAN with 1 CD for 3-4 players. It was actually a documented feature. How is this better than it was?
- batch12 4y agoI wont argue it is better, but you can do this with some games on steam using offline mode if the game supports other methods of multi-player outside of steam.
- hypertele-Xii 4y agoI need neither a CD drive nor to store tons of plastic slabs with easily-scratching discs inside, nor to swap discs just to play a different game. Nor to go downtown to buy new ones. It's a lot better in many ways, even if not specifically in sharing.
