Family Share game streaming?

[HuedPurple🦄]

Hey there. Had a thought and decided to throw it here. No harm, no foul.

What if Steam added a feature to Family Sharing which allowed you to stream games in the same was as In House Streaming? For example, here I am here on my laptop which is crap and can't run much on it's own, but my friend is on his computer on his account (Of which is family shared with mine as well) and so, if we both own a game (Or if is a added game) I could request a game to in home stream a game from his computer, which they would need to accept.

It could be taxing on systems, running two games, though. What do you guys think?

1 game at a time is how Family Sharing is supposed to work. Doing what you are suggesting is going against that rule and what the feature was intended to do.

I highly doubt they would even try that as it would be heavily abused by many, especially cheaters.

Oh no, not to like play the same game, like it would only work if both accounts had the game on their own accounts and stuff, or games added into steam if that would work, like if you added the Elder Scrolls Online Luancher to steam if you don't have the steam copy.

But yeah, it could probably be abused.
