  • This week, Valve has release a beta of their upcoming family sharing revamp - and it’s better than ever. Plus, we got a behind the scenes look at the Steam Deck OLED trailer’s creation. And, how is it that the “impossible” MiSTer core is complete already? All of this and more today. Let’s get right into it!

    I personally think the family sharing stuff is good, but it does suck for people who have family or friends across nearby borders, since they do not allow you to share with accounts in different purchasing regions. It is not an objective upgrade from the previous one, I know several people who can no longer share their libraries because they live too far apart.

      True but it is a "family" feature not a "sharing with friends" feature, I get sharing with friends would be good but ultimately Valve are a business and while giving stuff away is great they are in it for the money, that said what I will give Valve is kudos for is knowing that while they are looking to make money they also appreciate that the end user experience is fundamental in maintaining their business.
      Is the Epic games store fairer with Devs than Steam, absolutely and the 30% Valve and other digital storefronts charge is unfair and based on a rules that covered physical goods that they've exploited for their own gain, but lets be real here the reason Epic takes less isn't altruism, it's to try and capture enough of the market so they to can make more money and the decision was practically forced on them, Valve knows it and Sweeney definitely knows it.

      They don’t want friends sharing libraries at all, this is really only intended for household sharing.The main example being parents sharing with children or significant other. Obviously people will abuse the system so they have to find ways to make it harder for that.

      Totally. Seems like a really fair compromise to hold to the spirit of their offering. I could see unrestricted sharing being taken advantage of immediately.
      Valve has a lot of overhead to cover as well as maintaining a profit. Infrastructure, payroll for employees, R&D, taking risks on devices and services that flop.. all that costs lots of money.
      I’m glad to see them making a profit, while offering the most top class experience for the users. It inspires me to start another company with customer experience as the primary focus.

      Given that this feature could easily be exploited if this was allowed, its understandable. I have some ideas in my head how this could be achieved, but ultimately neither Valve nor the companies offering the games would want that. So it's still good we can share games with family.

      What are you talking about? Family sharing isn't for sharing your games with friends. It's for sharing your library with your immediate household members and that's it.
      If you have household members who are playing your copy of the game and nobody else owns it, that game is locked out until you kick them out or they finish playing. If two people in your household want to play the same game at the same time, then at least two people in your household must own the game.

      Currently, you can have 10 devices and 5 users. I shared with my cousins and as one stopped gaming I would drop one to add another. But now with the banning part I don't think I'll share with anyone but my wife. I don't need to pay the punishment for someone else. (Not that anyone has ever been banned from my family). You could also on the fly swap out users. So if one day one cousin wants it and another on a different day it wasn't a big deal other than enabling and disabling profiles.

    About fu**ing time they fixed the most stupid blocker. Locking the whole library just for your kid to play one game was just stupid on so may levels. I been writing Valve and Gabe so many times about fixing this. Now the next step that Valve should implement is the ability to transfer ownership of games. I guess that won't come until legislation forces the various "stores" to allow re-sale of electronic goods. I could re-sell my old physical games that I had and no longer wanted to play, but for some odd reason this is not possible with games purchased digitally even though they often have the same price as a physical copy of a game. But I guess eventually legislator will catch up to this.

    I would love to play Rocket League on deck more, but I don't play with a controller and don't have my deck set up to be docked with peripherals, I feel dumb when trying to use a controller, significantly worse. It plays and looks really good on there though, I need to get used to a controller I guess, I hate how Epic is doing that game, been on hiatus for months now but used to play it all day everyday. I need a new pc pretty bad, it runs terrible and is just old, the majority of gaming is done on the deck now, I love how the deck controls and feels. We need a Steam deck controller 2.0 more than anything. At this point it is a much needed device thanks to those back buttons, I have a Steam controller but it is not close to the same feel or compatibility.

    There is a pretty massive downgrade when it comes to the new family sharing and I'm holding off on it for that reason - you can't be a part of the same family if any of the people in your family live in any other region from your own, which is pretty common, meaning families are region locked. If you live in the UK, but your sibling lives in the EU - tough luck. If you live in Seattle and a family member is in Vancouver 2 hours away - tough luck.

      WINDOWS???? I just downgraded my ROG ally from windows 11 to windows 10. Windows 11 itself was more of a headache than actually downgrading it to Windows 10. Windows 11 was so bad I would rather spend 6 hours flashing iso and drivers and tweaking windows 10 and be done NO WINDOWS, NO NO NO NO NOOO. And windows will cause me another headache whenever they drop support for windows 10, and then I have to delete windows and download Linux

    MiSTer isnt Emulation, its Hardware Implementation. its all done on the FPGA as hardware and not in software

      Hardware emulation is more correct term for the final product i think, as the board then emulates another hardware. Isn't implementation the process of programming the fpga? Like software implementation is the process of incorporating one program in workforce of other software?
