Netflix for games?
Or Spotify for games as well, allowing a user to pay a sum amount monthly, to be able to play all sort of games, without actually having to own them,

Just like you watch or listen to as many movies, TV's or music, why shouldn't steam allow such a thing? It might even happen sooner or later ..

I believe it needs to be a feature with steam! Like sometimes, you as a hard working human being, just don't have all the money in the world to buy all the games that you want, like my wishlist is almost as big as my library.

And sometimes I would really just love to pay some amount, and legitimately play a game, rather than ehm pirating it.

But its not all benefits, you will still be paying a monthly fee to play the game, other wise you won't be able to access it, ok maybe a month is too long for 40 dollars, a week of free games sounds more reasonable, a whole week where you try any game, and then the decision is left to the buyer, to either buy a game that they liked, or get another week trial, to try out more options, it will be economical for all gamers, plus profitable in terms of recognition, and making small revenues profits for developers(leaving big game companies aside as small profits are of no intrest to them).

Another thing lets say a person pays 40$ to try out around 15 games, where valve gets a 3% percentage of that price, so eventually 38,8$ divided by the 15 games = 2.58$ per each developer who got thier game tested, and also tested for a period of time, example 1 hour of gameplay

PSNow, EA Access

You wouldn't like it on Steam as big name games would hardly participate but a lot of those trash game developers would love it to get some sort of money out of it.
Which is the big problem - licensing and payment for the games.

The other problem is that on Steam that cries for someone to crack the DRM behind it and thus access the whole library.

I can buy any game I wish, that is because I have a rather good paying job. If you get a job, you too can buy games and not ask the developers to lower their prices simply because you are too cheap to pay anything (as you already indicated by your pirating remark).

I guess family sharing kinda works the same, but still restriceted by the fact that you need to share the account where both parties can't play at the same time.

As for big titles, im pretty sure not all big titles are supported by steam, so it would only work on games that only steam has, allowing games that want to be hosted by this feature, to be available to all users.

Netflix dosen't host all movies or TV's, just the ones that are copy righted by netflix, so can be games as well on steam, for sure all the game developers on steam won't accept this, but you can't tell untill it's tested for sure.

If i pay 20 dollars a month, to play any game on steam, then why shouldn't i pay another 20 the next month, and if i really liked a game by legitimately playing it, and earning achievements for it, then i could decide to buy it isn't?

Well , it is called cloud gaming. And if you want to play a game without owning it, at least you need to pay a monthly tax, some kind of rent. And yes, that would be a great idea because you can play a game even if your PC can't run it. There are already companies who do that.

That would be really laggy depending on the internet speed, but if you download the game on your pc and play it, it'll be better interms of everything, i think biggest concern that comes with this suggested feature is security .. , thus maybe why vavle didn't release such a thing ?

This most certanily needs suggestions, like a lock on the games downloaded, for as when the period has ended, steam wouldn't allow allow the users to play the games downlaoded, same as how most games can't lunch without having steam up and running.

Your suggestion basically boils down to you wanting to gain all the benefits of something without paying for it.

Also keep in mind. Spotify is terrible for the artists who pput songs up. Quite literally the only reason they do it is to gain exposure, not to make any any actual money. Netflix actually bankrolls the production of or leases broadcast rights to the programs it shows...and they have to spend a lot of money doing it. Funnily enough Netflix doesn't actually show much in the way of profit.

Well i don't use either of them lol, but they must be making money somehow, and the movie and music makers also making money somehow out of them, other wise why they f would they even bother releasing content there anyway?, but for games yes, you can't try a Game unless you buy it, but with this way at least you get to try a game while paying a fee for that oppertunity of trying the game or eventually buying it and adding it to your game library, some games do offer a trial version, but sometimes it's no where near to the full expreince.

And this way it might solve the big problem with steam games, where people intentionally ask for refunds for games they didn't like, which is kinda unlogical since games can't be tampered with when refunded obviously, where you can't apply this concept to buying phyical products.

So again the fee can be different, and not all the games will be available, lets use counter strike as example, i pay a fee to try a game, two months pass... and i have paid around 80 dollars to play counter strike, along side trying all sort of other FPS games, and eventually i decided that counter strike is the game that i want to play constantly, so i decide to buy it, where i also got to try all sort of other FPS games. so i eventually paid 90 dollars, bought counter strike, and tried 10 other fps games for a period of two month. rather than maybe paying 400 dollars to try 10 other FPS games.

This way all the games i tried get a percentage of the monthly fee, might be a small amount for the developers, but it would turn the industry into a more honest industry rather than scandals that fool (gamers) into buying more bad games, to only play them for less than an hour.

You would pay a rent , a monthly tax.

Steam shouldn't do this they have soo many games that a subscription service would seem like cheating the system. Sales would go down for every participating because there is less money to be shared between the brands.

Then your thinking is flawed, as I'm not on the wrong thread. You asked for developers to lower their prices because you cannot afford to pay full price for a game as you made it clear in your op:

So unless you meant something else about not having all the money in the world to buy games, then that means you want developers to lower their price simply so you can play it. Then to paraphrase you "if prices aren't lowered, I will pirate games", does not help any of your statements. A solution is either get a job to pay for games, or ask (sorry "suggest") people buy games for you.

How about you do a suggestion on ending piracy for games, if the games are terrible, then they deserve to be pirated .. but i offered, and replied, as much as i would love to stop piracy wither i do or not pirate games my self, what i meant is i do pay for games, but what i don't want to pay for is a game that i won't finish, or i won't have fun with it. hence why the trial vie subscription suggestion, and also why half life 3 will never happen. u wanker

Thats the point, sales would go down, but the sales of GOOD games would go up, since people will be more urged into buying the good games, after they have been tried, as many people use piracy as a way to TRY OUT a game, either let everysingle game be available to try out, or pay a ticket to try the game yourself, then buy the game your self.

its almost like going to themepark with all sort of games, you don't actually buy all the roller costers, swinges and whatever in a theme/ rollercoster park, you pay a fee to try a game, when it comes to games tho, its on a much cheaper level yes, not everyone can afford a roller coster but almost everyone can afford to ride it, so not everyone can afford the new battelfield, but you can't try it either unless(:summerskull:) (i used battlefield as an example on how overly expinsive it is.)

Another thing ma frnd, since i'm still able to type a comment on steam, means i do have some sort of money to afford internet and all that. so its not that im begging for cheaper prices, my wish list can be as low as 1 dollar per game, i still wouldn't pay for a game, cause simple i don't have the time to play it currently, like one reason i have a wishlist is cause i actually tried out the games, and i want to have, but how did i get to try the games, is unfortunately through (:summerskull:). but i will buy them lol, one day for sure ..

The musicians on spotify are doing it for exposure, not money.
The movie makers are getting paid ... by Netflix, Netflix itself is a bit more of a gray area. There's a reason their content and offerings never stay constant.

, but for games yes, you can't try a Game unless you buy it, but with this way at least you get to try a game while paying a fee for that oppertunity of trying the game or eventually buying it and adding it to your game library, some games do offer a trial version, but sometimes it's no where near to the full expreince.
Yeah no... the game climate is such these days that consumers are very quick to move on to new games. So your idea ...well lets loiok at it this way. That was the model that block buster operated by... When was the last time you went into a block buster?

And this way it might solve the big problem with steam games, where people intentionally ask for refunds for games they didn't like, which is kinda unlogical since games can't be tampered with when refunded obviously, where you can't apply this concept to buying phyical products.
Makes perfect sense and there is a limitation as to how many times one can refund.

ASo basically you want to pay less than the games are worth while getting all the benefits of purchasing...not gonna happen. At least not on steam where Valve doesn't own the games and you'd never gett any but the lowest tier shovelware developers to agree to such terms.
