    whilst I do appreciate all the new Steam friends I haven't even signed up for this yet so don't expect me in this beta any time soon.

    and yes, Aaron, my ID is pikestaff, although that's not my current display name (I know search gets finicky with that sometimes)

    I became Pike's steam friend before this was a thing. I think by just a few days, haha.

    I think this will be a cool feature, but I probably won't participate much if at all. I have 3 friends on Steam I think, and I'm pretty sure each of them already own the games that I own that they'd be interested in. I don't have a huge Steam library. And I don't really want to borrow more games on there when I have hardly played any of the games I currently own. I'd do it to share with my roommate, but he has a Mac and the games he'd be interested in aren't compatible.

    Irrelevant since the feature will almost certainly leave beta eventually. All we need to do is wait.

    It's ok, Pike. I don't need to play most of your games. ;p

    Coordinating with a bro or even girlfriend (Y'all super jelly ) could lead to huge reductions in the number of games needed. Say there's two single-player games coming we both want; I buy Game A, Pike buys Game B, and when we're done we just switch off on accounts for awhile.

    Looks like Steam's Family Share is in available to anybody in their group now, which is awesome. Here's the link to their little user guide. Hopefully this should help out anybody who wants to try it. I know I'm excited to try it out a little.

    I only have like seven games or so. I'm useless for this. However, perhaps it's time we all got really friendly with Rirse...

    I have plenty of games to share. I was going to try it out with o_O, but that'll probably be when he's awake and I'm at home. Though, I do have a couple others I can try it out with later. ;o

    EDIT: Tested it out and it's pretty neat. I'm kinda excited to try out a game or two. It seems like many, many games aren't part of the program due to their various reasons, but still awesome.

    Who is this individual and does he/she have more Steam games than I do? If that is the case then I smell a challenge. Next Steam sale they can bring it on.
