Rumor : Steam might allow game sharing soon.

[AK77]

This code popped up in latest Steam Beta release -

 

 

Code:

"SteamUI_JoinDialog_SharedLicense_Title" "Shared game library"
"SteamUI_JoinDialog_SharedLicenseLocked_OwnerText" "Just so you know, your games are currently in use by %borrower%. Playing now will send %borrower% a notice that it's time to quit."
"SteamUI_JoinDialog_SharedLicenseLocked_BorrowerText" "This shared game is currently unavailable. Please try again

 

You can see it, by participating in Steam Beta from your Steam web client.

So it will be like if one purchase a game and he wishes his friend to play it he can just share it to him?

 

If that is the case then it would be f****** awesome.

They will allow only 1 person to play the game at a time. I am fine with that.

[i_rock098]

Even 1 person at a time would be very cool, way to go steam.

Baah, i dont want that :|

 

Don't want random friend requests :|

I think Microsofts game sharing feature prompted this

More info:

 

Like Xbox One, it appears multiple users won't be able to play the same game at the same time.

"Just so you know, your games are currently in use by %borrower%. Playing now will send %borrower% a notice that it's time to quit," a line of code for one dialogue prompt states.

"This shared game is currently unavailable. Please try again later or buy this game for your own library," another describes.
