omg yes

I hope this is better than the current implementation. The current “any user playing any game means the entire library is unavailable” is dumb. Going to go read the fine print!

That was changed a while back, the current restrictions are you can only have as many people playing any given game as you have copies in your current sharing library

That’s awesome; I didn’t know they changed that. I haven’t tried to play multiple games from the same library for a long time now because I hadn’t heard about that restriction changing. Thanks!

Yep, you can play any game as long as another person isn't playing it, which is how it should have been but hey, can't complain or criticise Valve now.

I wasn’t complaining, just annoyed with the (I guess now old) rules for sharing and the limitations it imposed. Not enough to stop buying games, though. I’ve been on Steam a long time and have a large library of games. We just got used to taking turns playing. Happy to see that change.

I've been using the beta version of this for a while and honestly it's pretty awesome. In the ultracapitalistic future that we're currently living in Valve is probably the only ones that would and could do this

If this means you’ll no longer be able to share with neighbouring countries that’s a real shame.
