Game sharing should be a completely separate feature from family sharing

[niralamart000]

One of the best features of console till this date is the ability to make home consoles. Steam should also have their feature of making home pcs where the main account can add and remove a certain number of accounts for their own use. This way you can have your separate online identities, game stats and builds and so on. It should be designed for one man use only but like consoles they should all be steam accounts beforehand.

I am confused as to what you think family sharing is? You do all have separate game stats and accounts

Why compare other platforms to Steam?

no it clearly isn't as in i don't want my accounts to be locked to the same account for a year to be an issue, this is just a feature for an individual Period.

edit: as in family sharing for those want to share with family and friends can have their slots while individuals can have their own freedom to play with themselves only

On another thread you wrote.

why would you compare it to other pc stores? this mentality never makes sense among here

My question therefore has both validity and relevance based on your previous post.

You can EASILY add your alt accounts to the family share..... there is no need for a separate system when the family share system does EXACTLY what you want.
Blame the users who constantly abuse the family share for the new restrictions.
Also, the games that are part of the share program are only doing so because the devs/pubs allow the game to be in the program. Steam only makes the offer, they cannot force a dev to add their game to the family share program.

okay listen bro i'm not gonna repeat myself over and over so understand that i only want to use family sharing for others while game sharing for me, i already use more then 5 accounts on xbox game sharing and last thing i want is getting locked out of changing an account cause of steam's silly year cool down. Also understand that what you're calling abuse is what most steam users and even steam staff were perfectly fine with as intended audience is the same as actual audience. the problem didn't exist but functioned as a nice side grade to get rid of a feature all together. It does nothing but add complication so i DO NOT CARE FOR FAMILY SHARING IN THIS THREAD.

This suggestion is merely for gaming sharing on one's main pc and that's it, if you for some reason don't like this then understand there are million others who do, not interested in a flame war, just leaving my suggestion which you can edit however you like for example adding limited amount of game share accounts, each account requiring authorization from main account every time you switch and so on.

the family sharing system is the best you are going to get for now. Adjust and use that, or not.

Until Valve implements further limitations to prevent abuse until it really works only for people living in the household as Valve intended it to be.

WHY DON'T YOU PEOPLE JUST LISTEN TO WHAT I WRITE ALREADY,

this is about gaming sharing on one's main pc for only personal use, you can edit my suggestion however you like for example each shared account has to have 10 dollars spent on it. This is about one person having multiple online personas and gaming states PERIOD. Please read my other comments as i'm sick of writing the same paragraphs over and over

Are you asking for Steam to implement multiple disconnected cloud saves and achievement progresses for each game? That just sounds like a mess and I'm not sure how you would benefit from that unless you were account sharing. Most games already let you have multiple save files, especially on PC.

They want to be able to share their 5+ accounts with each other so they can play the games from all the accounts.

Let's ignore the fact that having 5+ accounts is already very suspicious.

I think they're talking about something more like Miis, where there are multiple "accounts" but they're all tied to the physical console so they can't be used for playing multiple games simultaneously.

I think I finally garnered the same thing upon a reread of what the OP was asking.

It's an interesting thought, but I doubt it's something workable on the PC since that is an open ended system whilst consoles are closed systems which makes tying things to a specific piece of hardware much easier. I think many people fail to realize that simple difference.

Not to mention the fact that a Steam account is designed to be usable on more than one system.

Something like Miis has to be implemented by every game separately anyway, it's just that there's a centralized system for "naming" the saves with pictures of faces.

If a game wants to let you have multiple saves, it will already do that on PC.
