Steam Is Welcoming Everyone To The Family With ‘Family Sharing’! Now Open To All

Valve has let everyone in the door as their Family Sharing is now open to all Steam users. Steam Family Sharing lets users authorize others to access their library of games, most of which I amassed from those alluring Steam sales. Just remember that two people cannot use the same library at the same time. At least you can keep your achievements as well as your save files from the games you played when the owner of the library you are using decides you’ve had enough time in their digital playground and wants to play their own games.

Setting up sharing is a bit of a pain if you’re not in the same location as the person you want to have access to your library and vice versa. So if you really want to share with you friends abroad, be prepared to go through some hoops at your expense (giving out password, using remote desktop sharing to setup, change password after setting up, etc) to open the doors to your gaming library.
