That's great! - i have a sister who wants to get into gaming, but she cant afford the games herself, i bought her one or two humblebundles but she wants to try the "bigger" titles :) this gives her a great opportunity to try mine

That's good, but
CAN A FRIEND AND I SHARE A LIBRARY AND BOTH PLAY AT THE SAME TIME?
No, a shared library may only be accessed by one user at a time.
= I still have to buy the game twice in order to play it with my girlfriend in co-op; that's lame.

But how will it work for MULTIPLAYER GAMES? For example those that require keys or making accounts like TWO WORLDS 2 etc will friends be able to get me banned /steal items from Two Worlds 2 MP etc?or get us banned in VAC games & stuff?:) Better it would be for their steam to create accounts for the multiplayer games even if they dont have it & when they buy the game(s) they use the accounts they played on trough the shared library..Just a thot :) ... Also it would be nice to be able to co-op with people u share the library with...Trine etc :(

I wonder how will work:
Trading card drops.
Item drops in games like TF2/CS:GO or items which you unlock in Poker night at the inventory.
Achievements.
Cloud saves.
Time played statistics.
"Game owned" in the steamgifts point of view.

Oooh if this works they way I think it does it'll be awesome for my long distance relationship, especially when we move in together

That is kind of cool. Though it only works for those who are willing to take turns on the account. Those who do not want to do that are S.O.L.

I don't understand the point... I might as well share my information with my family and just let them login...I guess this is good if you have trust issues or bad friends/family.

I asked my SO if we were family and the answer was no. :(

So... this is dumb... i play games everyday and if my sister wants to play GMOD then i can't play a single game on my game list? NOT even the single player games?

THEN WHY are this even a function if i'm not going to be able to play! >_>

Can the person borrowing the game play the game while the lender is online,but not playing a game? Wish they shed some more light on this

Really wonder how they will handle VAC bans with this system in place. If a family member/friend cheats while playing a borrowed copy of a game, it would obviously be extremely unfair to ban the owner of the game.

... but I can see a problem arising unless they do that. Cheaters could just buy a game, then share and play it on fake accounts. That way they could keep on cheating with zero risk of loosing the game or getting a permanent VAC ban on their main account.

It's going to be interesting to see how they actually implement this feature.

Family? Man fuck those people!
Edit: Inb4 please lend me ur games!!!plss sI vary poor only can afford intranet cconnection and stoled computer from shop plzzzzzzz.

While the concept is good, I need access to my other games while the lender plays one.

Lend - 10$ per month (only for Russians)

5$ for foreigners

Sounds amazing! Thanks I'll pass

I'd prefer lending of single titles and not the whole library. Only 1 account/device can play a game of that library at a given time.
But cool enough for now :).

Pasted here, hope it gets read. Please post here if you have something to say about this topic :)

"Edit: closed and moved into the thread for being a hypocrite.

I'm sorry I just can't do it... can we all please post in the same thread? I mean do these really need to be new topics?: This and this.

Think before you start a new topic please!

Edit: sorry to be a party pooper but I spend alota time in forums that have pretty strict standards, I understand its a bit more relaxed here but lately browsing the forum has started to become a bit toxic."

Wtf is this shit?

I think this restriction is really going to get people mad -> LINK

Anyone know if I can play a friend's game while they play one of my games?

If this could happen it would be really nice.

it would be great to have a friend from a totally opposite time zone. I am from Hong Kong.

So yeah, I got an invitation, have no clue how to use it though. Also no extra invitations included!

Is this thing LOCAL (computers in the same house)? Or digital (me and a friend far away from my actual position)? We still don't get it
