TL;DR: Steam just made library sharing so much fucking easier and so much fucking better. Instead of login-trading, it's just a simple goddamn invite.

Read this. Really. It's a good read. Because it shows that, full-stop, Valve isn't just doubling down on their stance to make sure that people can and should be able to share their copies of digital goods as easily as they can physical ones, but they're making it better and easier than ever.

But you know how Steam allowed you to, with either friends or family, link accounts with another person to be able to establish an ability to share game libraries with one another? The general gist of Steam Family Sharing was that, with a limit of five people plus you (six in total) on a limit of ten computers total could share account access to willingly mix your libraries. You could play theirs. They could play yours.

This was a huge boon. It was meant to emulate sharing a physical copy of a game. A way to allow children to play games their parents or siblings had bought without having to fork over double the cash to buy it a second game. But it had some major limitations and drawbacks, and was archaic to use.

If a person did not share the same computer, you had to manually log into that computer to give it and the accounts on it access. This wouldn't be a problem if both accounts were used on the same computer, but many households (and astronomically more family and friend groups) had multiple computers, all used by different people.

If that computer, at any point, was hard reset to any point before the sharing occurred, you lost access. And had to do the whole process again. This was also an issue with computer transfers. The whole kit and kaboodle needed to be redone on upgrades. On top of that, the old computer is now just dead weight that you may not realize you have to manually revoke access to.

Putting your account information on another person's computer opens up security issues. They could, intentionally or accidentally, land themselves on your account if the login information was stored. Which could easily lead to purchases or bans you did not want to happen.

If anyone was, at any point, playing any game on their own library, you had no access to their games. Even if it was a totally different game, you had to wait your turn as if waiting for their computer to be freed up to sit at. (Admittedly this is kind of like the "mom said it's my turn on the xbox" meme, but hey, kinda archaic.)

You could not choose whose library you accessed a game from. Not at all. It always prioritized the first library it gained access from, DLC access and multiplayer be damned. If another friend you were accepting games from had more DLC? Too bad.

And yet here we are. Steam Families Beta fixes EVERYTHING about the above issues. By just going through Settings > Interface > client Beta Participation and clicking onto Steam Families Beta? You get:

No more login sharing. No more computer links. You can now choose which person's library you borrowed from. And you can play any other game from someone's library, even while they're in-game. It just needs to be a different game than what they're playing.

Pick five people. Invite them to your family. And now everyone has access to everyone's library. My goddamn library went from 150-ish to almost a goddamn thousand in ten minutes of setup.

Account sharing and password sharing are dirty words that "lose" billions of dollars. Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Max. They aren't game storefronts, but they still allow you to access massive libraries and scream like you murdered their firstborns for daring to share your password with your mother after you moved out.

Microsoft tried pushing to demonize and undercut used games sales and borrowed copies of physical games. Remember the first attempt to reveal the Xbox One? People forget, but these vultures tried to make an always online console that checked to see if you were the account that owned the game, even if you had a physical disc, and prevent access to the disc's contents if you weren't the original downloader.

Valve walked the fuck up. Valve tapped the mic. And Valve dropped the fucking thing right onto the ground with one feature's revamp.

About the only issues I can see with this are twofold:

If someone sharing your library gets banned from a game's servers... so do you. No one else in the family does, but the both of you do. This is... rather unpleasant, because banhammers can be dropped quite frequently by mistake. I'd urge Valve to rethink this one, but I see the logic: don't cheat and effectively bite the hand feeding you. Still making me side-eye that, though.

If you leave a family you've joined? You have to wait a YEAR to join a new one. It's to prevent people form jumping ship to another group and screwing over who's in the former one in the process, but a YEAR? OUCH.

Problems aside, though... it's probably the biggest fucking power move I have ever seen a media distributor make in the current economic climate. It's the kind of thing that would let so many new games be available in a way that's easier than ever. Just a few clicks to send or accept an invite, and bam. Permanent access to dozens or even hundreds of new games with so much more freedom than earlier drafts of the system.

It's the kind of thing that slaps you in the face with positivity after so many Ls from the games and media industries. And I'm all the fuck for a W like this.

For the Summer Sale I got Dead by Daylight, I have only played it via mobile before so not sure how this is going to go. I recently bought a better computer that can sometimes play video games on lowest specs. You can also see my library atm. I may do some AimLab routines for Valorant and Fortnite players at some point. Let me know what games in my library you want guides on (and I also have Valorant & Fortnite too!).

Oh this was my Rank on ZB KBM before my ping messed it up

Ping screwed me over but it is what it is. I am grinding and still Silver II on Console ZB and Bronze III on Build since reset.

I will be posting a lot of new stuff soon so make sure you let me know what you want to see on content from me. I may even stream my games some!

Call me a “tech boomer” but I really don’t want to update my old computer to a shitty, system-heavy Windows 10 just to play a 2009 game I happen to own on Steam.

A New Impossible Shoot Em-Up Game Called Chromancy is Making People Rage About How Hard it is, will you try it out?

Created by Eugene Tan, Chromancy is a new impossible-type and fun 2D shoot em ‘up game where it comes with creativity and a way to test the player’s reflexes for its enjoyment.

Chromancy is a shoot ’em-up game that tests your wits and reflexes at the same time. Using the ability to change color between red, green, and blue – you will face enemies, dodge obstacles, solve puzzles and fight bosses through 50 fun and challenging levels. Can you master the power of RGB and beat this game? Can you be the ultimate winner and win all of the challenging levels?

Chromancy features multiple levels where the player will navigate through a variety of obstacles such as spikes and lasers, solve puzzles and defeat enemies using the color-switching mechanic. There are also 5 bosses which will put the player’s skills to the test. Guide your player over spikes and blocks to get to the end of the level. Sounds easy? Any mistake results in death, it won’t be easy!

Features:

Over 50 different levels of experience with their own challenges!

Color-changing mechanics to test your reflexes.

Challenging levels that just get harder each time!

Casual and quick play sessions, for busy gamers.

The game has a unique mechanic where you have to change different colors based on the tiles and enemies in the game. The color you switch to determines the color of the bullet you shoot and also the color of enemy projectiles and obstacles you can absorb or pass through respectively. For example, while the player is red, you can shoot red bullets and absorb red enemy projectiles or pass through red obstacles. Likewise, enemies are only affected by bullets that are of a different color to them.

Anyone that would like to take a look at the new game called Chromancy and try it out you can do so by checking it out on steam. I highly recommend anyone to check it out especially if you are into challenging and fun games.

Steam finally deciding to start curating user-submitted tags for popular titles is definitely a positive thing in terms of discoverability, but I'll be honest, I kind of miss the period where Doom (2016) spent several months tagged as an LGBT dating sim.
