How to do the old library sharing thing?

[maje90]

Hi everyone!

I remember it was possible to share the entire library to "a device", not to a person or to a family.
What I have to do to make the same again?
I want to share my library to my friend.

I'm perfectly fine into having someone use my library while I am not using ANY of my games.

the best version would have been to have normal family sharing like other platforms while giving the publishers the chose to opt out , the timer cool down is also so bloody stupid, this treats customer like a criminal first. I can understand having limited number of accounts to share but this maximum profiting mindset is exactly the kind of businesses practices that makes other pc stores unpleasing to use.

Odd that you claim you picked Steam for Family Sharing, to then claim that other platforms have a better version, yet other platforms do not.

It was always intended to be for families, people abused it to rent their library to others etc. Abuse is abuse, period, if you wanted to abuse it and now cannot, seems to be working as intended.

this is not your decision to make and never will be, the way you and others like you in these forums take thing so satirically direct is enough to make any actual customer roll their eyes and not take the person seriously. For 10 years people in these forums literally advised on how to family share yet did you see valve as a respectful company throw a hissy fit? of course not they are not freaking idiots, more and more people get introduced to steam ecosystem and bought their own libraries like me

were you fuming when all this was going on? and oh please hiding behind the same tired lame excuse, this all started cause of Netflix period.

This is why we have the Family Sharing restrictions, which just reminds me of the time before Steam when people would share game codes and use copied cd's to play games without buying them.

Sounds like you confused Valve for being your friend and not the business that it is.

I guess you don't understand humanity too well, and the gaming community in particular.

Gaming is a business, just like any other. Every business has expenses that must be paid for. Every business has employees that must be paid because those employees also have expenses.

Now if you would like to lead the charge in changing Capitalism by giving up your salary so your place of business can pass on those savings to others, be my guest. Personally, I will still be happy to collect my paycheck until my food and electricity are free, and I will happily pay game developers for their products until the same.

I never said it was mine, did I? Valve did it, due to people who abused it.

And no counter to the fact that no other store had a family share option? Sounds like you're the one fuming honestly.
