Why should I buy New World Twice?

[OnlyHonor]

Hey,
I bought this game from my second account on steam, and i shared this game to my main account, so I played over 50h, now steam asks me to purchase the game again on my main account because I bought the game from my second account! any idea what's going on? will i get my stuffs back if i play with my second account? or I lost everything? any solutions?

idk i would talk to customer service I actually called amazon and was given a key because my beta one i had paid for was somehow either used or bugged. They fixed the problem in 10 minutes

Family share was disabled due to the sheer amount of bots abusing it.

Not to mention people who'd use a secondary account to dupe just in case it got banned. (Spoiler: Dupers had all of their accounts banned)

So no more game share. One copy per account.

On the brightside it more or less fixed the severe botting issue overnight.

Well. No.

If you bought the game on your secondary account to play it on your main (I, really don't get why you would?)

The SAVE Data of your character will still exist. So if you bought the game again on your main, you'd have all of your character and its progression right there.

Your secondary account will not have the saved data of your main.

Anyone that is pro-family share at this point is just mad they closed the loophole for exploiters and bug abusers.

Why should you buy it twice? Because you want it on multiple steam accounts, owned and played by YOU. You're just one of the many reasons family share was disabled.

Well...no. That is a reductive argument. Yes, bot accounts were exploiting family share, and naturally those folks will likely be unhappy this loophole was closed. However, there are also people who were using family share in the way it was intended without any abuse, and the fact that they are 'pro family share' does not automatically mean they support bot abuse. Facepalm, indeed.

Collateral Damage. I'd rather few people having to buy it again or go through support then see those gold spammers every 5 seconds spam my chat while I'm trying to lead the faction into pvp.

Why would you have a secondary account to play games on your main account?
Sounds like a YOU problem.
