Re: steam holiday sale is on
Steam has changed the way sales work, any company can make a sale at any time they want.

Re: steam holiday sale is on
Indeed it does, shit is all I seem to buy lately! I've just about had my fill of the paid alpha access con, lots of games that show promise, but very few deliver the goods.
I'm sure it's great for for indie developers to get some coin, but I think in time it will be detrimental to the game industry as it's lowering the expected standard of games as a whole in my opinion, but maybe I'm just a grumpy jaded old bastard who doesn't have the patience for buggy unfinished games.

Re: steam holiday sale is on
Steam family sharing I think it's called.
It's a step into the right direction, definitely.
I think a minor problem is that while your better half is playing a game in your library they lock the whole of your library, i.e. you can't play anything. At least that's how I read it when it first came up...it maybe different now or maybe a mis-insterpretation. We've never tried it.

Surprise, no sig. Now there is. Or is there?

Re: steam holiday sale is on
I was reading about the family sharing last night.
The way I read it, the only restriction is that the same game cannot be played at the same time on different PC's with the same steam login.
So norbs could be playing AC on one PC while Onz plays Rust on another PC using his steam login.

Re: steam holiday sale is on
I thought you're not using the same steam login, the linked article specifically says that your achievements will be yours . Rather, you lend the game to a family member or friend.
I think this needs to be tested
Edit:
I reckon I was right:

Edit:

Can I share specific games, or do I have to share my whole library?
Libraries are shared and borrowed in their entirety.
Can two users share a library and both play at the same time?
No, a shared library may only be accessed by one user at a time.

Ah you might be right ysu, hence why the same game can be used at the same time as you have lent it to another steam user.ysu wrote:I thought you're not using the same steam login, the linked article specifically says that your achievements will be yours .

Re: steam holiday sale is on
Two logins on the same pc.. look at the steam list, it splits them to a different list, if different from your games.
You log in with your account, but can play there games, but not the same one.
At least that is how it has been working for me.
+My games - the account you are logged into.
+[Name's Games] - other account that has been logged into on the computer.
+[Another's Games] - other account that has been logged into on the computer.
