which is good, because people have been abusing family share to cheat on unlimited throwaway accounts while sharing from their main account that is left untouched
one of the reasons some devs disabled family sharing in the past

That was already happening.

But way easier, currently you need to sign into your account on someone else's pc to let them play

Yes, certainly. I meant the rules are largely the same (as-in, only one can play the game at the same time) so I doubt many more devs will opt-out.


PC: Yes. Console: No.

Yes, Shop Region. A buddy with German shop tried to invite me (Argentina Shop) and it threw me an error telling me all accounts have to be in the same Country.

Not sure why you expected this to work across countries TBH. Steam restricted basically anything cross-country in recent years, sharing, gifting, changing regions.

Family share works fine between countries (or country shops) so that's why I was asking.

That's surprising, I expected it to not work Very Happy


It would be amusing if this is Steam's trick to try and catch all the region hoppers to send them back to their home regions.

Anyone know what happened to TF2 keys? Their price keeps dropping since New Year. They used to sell for 2,30$ on the market, now it's barely 2$.

I used to buy them for~1,70$ and sell them for 2,30$ (after taxes it's 2$) on Steam market to top up my wallet. Now price dropped so low it's barely worth it resell keys.

Those who are still in Turkey or Argentina, how do you top up your Steam wallet?

Whoa. Now I might just have to try that. Where did you buy them, if you don't mind sharing it?

Game and gift card codes for USD/USA work fine in Argentina. Tried both, loads of times from multiple sellers. There is a page on Steam somewhere that states it

Today we have updated a portion of our Refund Policy regarding pre-purchased titles. This change covers titles that are in pre-purchase and offer “Advanced Access”.

So now there's absolutely no point for developers to ever remove their titles from "Early Access". Sure, you could make the argument that people were exploiting it (that's a given), but no more so than developers were exploiting the whole "Early Access" bullshit. Basically, they've shifted power from the consumer, to the developer - but not because they care about either - but because Steam itself wants to hold on to their 30% cut as quickly as possible.

Ah well. Doesn't really effect me (as I don't buy EA titles barring a few notable exceptions), but it's a shame nonetheless.

EDIT - Nevermind. Didn't realize "Advanced Access" and "Early Access" were two different things.

Yea, you're right, my mistake.

They really ought to differentiate their terminology a bit more though.
