    You can only log in with Discord or GitHub account. That’s an instant dealbreaker.

    And secondarily, it uses Nvidia GPU.

      The service is not ready yet. Login is simply a way to sign up for the waitlist. Auth through social media tries to cut down bots and even if you login it has read only access to your email address and nothing else.

      Also it’s a single dev who spent few years making it work on nvidia. At this point in time it’s too early to be dismissive about projects roadmap.

    I hope this doesn’t end up abusing family sharing (it’s been just a few months since it became actually useful) to the point Valve nerfs it back to what it was.

        TL;DR: Simultaneous library sharing. Before, only one user could use a library at a time. Now, up to 6 users can simultaneously play any game from the same library.

        This is what Netris is touting users to exploit when they say:

        Steam Library Sharing

        Grant access to your Steam library, so everyone on your team can join in on the fun without additional purchases.

        A “Team”, lol wut?

          Not correct. You can only have as many users playing the same game as you have licenses.

          If your family library has multiple copies of a game, multiple members of the family can play that game at the same time
