What is this. Because I'm pretty upset that the games I paid for can't be played on different pc's. My daughter wants to pay stardew valley while I'm online with family on satisfactory. I have to take the other pc and go into offline mode. This wasn't the solution. Even with adding members I didn't think I did it right. So does this fix it? Can my family member log into stardew online with her cousin while I'm on another lan game?
Yes, you can play Satisfactory while she is playing Stardew Valley, while both of you are online. You now have a number of copies of each game in the family. If 2 members own the same game, then two different members in the family can play both copies at the same time
Perfect. Finally. I understand needing two copies of the game to play online (one game code per user). But local split screen shouldn't be that way and neither should playing seperate games force me into individual play sessions. Each game code should have capacity to run an individual account. Not one account to each owned game.
This has been my gripe with steam and purchased digital games vs physical games since it's concept. It felt like I was renting play sessions with my ID license rather than owning the games I paid for.
