    I’ve been using the beta version of this for a while and honestly it’s pretty awesome. In the ultracapitalistic future that we’re currently living in Valve is probably the only ones that would and could do this

    If this means you’ll no longer be able to share with neighbouring countries that’s a real shame.

    omg yes

    I hope this is better than the current implementation. The current “any user playing any game means the entire library is unavailable” is dumb. Going to go read the fine print!

      That was changed a while back, the current restrictions are you can only have as many people playing any given game as you have copies in your current sharing library

        That’s awesome; I didn’t know they changed that. I haven’t tried to play multiple games from the same library for a long time now because I hadn’t heard about that restriction changing. Thanks!

      You clearly don’t understand how it works. My sibling lives in another city, but we’re in the same steam family and have had no issues.

        Well, my sibling lives in another country and I can’t share my library with them because arbitrary restriction. Yay.
