Steam - The Future is Now

Post by TheCatt »

This weekend, my youngest daughter (13) asked if we had a PC to play games on, because the game she already plays on the Switch updated versions faster on the PC. I had actually bought a gaming PC a year ago, but I've had little time or appetite for gaming. So I gave it to her.

Updated it, set it up on a desk... and installed Steam. Last day of the Steam Sale, the game she wanted was $9. (Stardew Valley).

:D

Nice. I'm currently getting a laptop I no longer need ready for my youngest who wants it for gaming and video editing.

I have a 1 month free subscription for DC Universe (only new or returning players) if someone wants it.

Steam seems to finally get families correct.

I have a vague memory that if you shared a game, you couldn't play a game in your library while someone else was playing that game? That's fixed now?

I think other people can play other games now, which could not happen before. No idea about the "same game", try watching the video?

I thought the ENTIRE library was locked if someone borrowed (and was playing) a game. I did try watching the video, but all I really want is that one answer :)

Probably an FAQ on Steam. I'm not even sure how to sign up, but I want in. I want to share my library with my kids.

And please tell me I don't have to login to the computer with my account, and then my family member does it, too. What shit. At any rate, yeah, guess I'll try it out and see :)

Troy, is this guy telling the truth? Did Valve "do the right thing" for consumers despite not needing to?

I don't think there are cards to earn.

Just stickers. Vote in the Steam awards and view your queue.

Stickers suck.

Give me cards, ways to earn bigger discounts, free games, or the currency you earn to customize your profile/layout.

Just made a purchase and earned two cards. Looks like I got a card for every $10.

With this big ol' sale going on, you'd think we'd be able to come up with a game to start playing.
