DayZ not appearing in family sharing games?

[virex]

Hi guys,
Today my friend has shared his Steam library with me. He owns DayZ and I really wanted to play it, however, I can't find it on his list. Does anyone know why? Is it one of those games that can't be play via Family game Sharing?

DayZ is excluded from Family Share.

Do you know why? Is it just something the game developers decided to do? :E

[Cathulhu]

Yes, the developer/publisher decided to disallow family sharing. Why, i don't know. Ask them.

You bought a license to play the game. You don't actually own the game. Also, Family Share is a Steam feature, not a requirement. It's also a feature that Valve could decide to remove at any time as it's in no way owed to you.
