Retards: "oh no, Valve is a monopoly and this is bad for gamers. How did people let a single company have all this influence and control in the gaming industry?"

Valve:
@Suzu Oh wait, did the Steam family update change it so that you can play the same game at the same time?
@supersid333 I don't think you can play the same game at the same time, but now two users in the family can play games from the same library at the same time.

@Suzu @supersid333 exactly this. a lot of people seem to be complaining that it doesn't work outside of your own physical household now but i also see a lot of people saying that's not the case so, not sure.

@beardalaxy @supersid333 well, to be fair, it's supposed to be a function that allows you to share your Steam library with your family members who live with you, not a way for your group of friends to share a single account between 5 people in remote locations.

It's kinda the same with the change in Netflix family sharing. It sucks big time, and screwed me up (I used to have a family account with my family, but I live in another city), but I kinda understand where they are coming from.

@Suzu @supersid333 i still think it's better than the previous system, since now we can both be playing games at the same time :3
