Steam starts Family Sharing Program

[jc36lect3r]

Steam has started the new family sharing program to share your entire library with you close friends and family. You can authorize another device to access your library and then that device will be able to download, play and save any game from your library.

- 10 device limitations
- You cannot play a game in two devices at the same time. If you start a game that your friend is playing, he/she will get a notification to buy or quit the game.
- Not all games are share-able, like games which require a third party DRM.

Awesome.

You can play a shared game on more than one device while offline..... I guess. So, it seems the '10 device limitations' is useless.

Oh. Did you try playing on more than one device simultaneously yourself? What game(s) did you try it with?
