Sharing games on Steam

[Vermillion_Hawk]

Just because someone has disposable income doesn't mean they'll be uninhibited shoppers purchasing hundreds of games, most of which they'll probably never play/play for a couple hours at best.

 

[Wellenbrecher]

Not the point.

 

[gaham1]

I switch accounts with my wife and roommate constantly anyway, so why not have it in an official way.

OT but your roommate sounds like the ultimate third wheel.

 

[Dryvus]

I thought my game collection was a bit light so I've been regularly watching sales for several weeks. Now I have 40.

 

[Noudelle]

Because you're like 9 years old or something and neither you nor any of your friends has any disposable income to speak of.
Wait a few years.

You know so much about my life! They buy the games I buy because I convince them to buy them. Otherwise, they spend their money by buying **** like ****ing kendamas. I don't even know one person who likes any of the games on this section of the forums. C0D for teh win1

 

[Evelyn]

You convince your friends to buy CoD?

 

[Noudelle]

All the time...

 

[Splintert]

Explains a lot.

 

[Golradir]

Every year?
wat

 

[Orchid]

Splendid, I have 49 games to share with humanity. Now only to go and find myself some friends!

 

[Goker]

296.   Though I suppose it does tend to count DLCs, as well as games that I got from bundles where I only wanted one or two other games, so maybe it's closer to 250.

Your steam profile says you have 249 games anyways.

 

[Desideratus]

I would presume that any third party mods like the Source mods aren't going to show up in the library?

 

[Goker]

I was just added to the beta and can now authorize devices to use my library. Hit me up if you want to play games from my library while I'm away.

 

[Wellenbrecher]

Same as Goker. Got into the beta yesterday.
Mail provider added the mail to spam so I was a bit careful with it, expecting it to be phishing, but yeah, I'm in.

 

[Golradir]

I'm so gonna bully wellen and steal his games!

 

[Patchouli Knowledge]

So, I got in and it seems you can only authorise a device by logging in on it. I guess that means no forum members will be sharing, unless I missed something.

 

[Wellenbrecher]

Sure that it's that way around? I understood it as authorising your current account/PC to be shared.

In any case, you can always give them your login data for a second.

 

[Austupaio]

There's only a handful of people here I'd do that with.

You and Duh, since you guys trusted me, Shatari, Trevty, TDM.

I might be willing to do so with others but it's not a terribly long list.

 

[Patchouli Knowledge]

Sure that it's that way around? I understood it as authorising your current account/PC to be shared.

In any case, you can always give them your login data for a second.

The authorise menu says you're authorising the current device to be allowed access to your library.

 

[Goker]

There's only a handful of people here I'd do that with.

And perhaps they're relying on that. I wouldn't really do that with many people either.
