ppears in client code
Steam owners Valve may be looking to allow game sharing in a future update, as suggested by a few lines of tell-tale code found in the store’s client code.




Initially discovered by NeoGAF, the client code now contains the following lines:

“SteamUI_JoinDialog_SharedLicense_Title” “Shared game library”
“SteamUI_JoinDialog_SharedLicenseLocked_OwnerText” “Just so you know, your games are currently in use by %borrower%. Playing now will send %borrower% a notice that it’s time to quit.”
“SteamUI_JoinDialog_SharedLicenseLocked_BorrowerText” “This shared game is currently unavailable. Please try again later or buy this game for your own library
 
Microsoft: "LIMIT THE END USER, EVERYONE IS AN IDIOT THERE!!!""
Sony: "Jeez, give people some freedom with their games Microsoft."
Valve: "Wtf guys are you insane??? We can trade digital goods! Fuck your DRM!"
