Steam Announces Family Sharing

11 Σεπτεμβρίου 2013 - ÐarkÎce | 0 σχόλια

"Coming Soon: Players who share computers can also share their Steam games

September 11, 2013 – Steam Family Sharing, a new service feature that allows close friends and family members to share their libraries of Steam games, is coming to Steam, a leading platform for the delivery and management of PC, Mac, and Linux games and software. The feature will become available next week, in limited beta on Steam.

Steam Family Sharing is designed for close friends and family members to play one another's Steam games while each earning their own Steam achievements and storing their own saves and application data to the Steam cloud. It's all enabled by authorizing a shared computer.

“Our customers have expressed a desire to share their digital games among friends and family members, just as current retail games, books, DVDs, and other physical media can be shared,” explained Anna Sweet of Valve. “Family Sharing was created in direct response to these user requests.”

Once a device is authorized, the lender's library of Steam games becomes available for others on the machine to access, download, and play. Though simultaneous usage of an account’s library is not allowed, the lender may always access and play his games at any time. If he decides to start playing when a friend is borrowing one of his games, the friend will be given a few minutes to either purchase the game or quit playing.

Game Sharing Code Found in Latest Steam Beta

20 Ιουνίου 2013 - ÐarkÎce | 0 σχόλια

In the latest Steam beta, code has been spotted in the steamui_english.txt file that appears to be part of an unfinished feature that would allow Steam users share games between their friends.

• "SteamUI_JoinDialog_SharedLicense_Title" "Shared game library"
• "SteamUI_JoinDialog_SharedLicenseLocked_OwnerText" "Just so you know, your games are currently in use by %borrower%. Playing now will send %borrower% a notice that it's time to quit."
• "SteamUI_JoinDialog_SharedLicenseLocked_BorrowerText" "This shared game is currently unavailable. Please try again later or buy this game for your own library."

Seen above, this code shows the messages that would be displayed while this feature is in use. If unchanged, it would mean that when a user lends a game to their friend, they won't be able to play it and they'll be warned it's in use if it's opened. If they decide to play, their friend would be told that "it's time to quit" and asked to purchase their own copy.

This could be viewed as a response to the recently announced Xbox One family game sharing feature, although this was axed following Microsoft's DRM policy revision after a backlash at the restrictions it would have imposed.
