ABOUT DAMN TIME!!!

hmm, well, It is nice. So... it must mean only one computer on the network can have steam account open or a certain game open.

What I really want is the ability to schedule a download.

Could have done with that a few years ago, but hey better than never I guess.

It looks like you have multiple steam accounts that are linked as 'family' etc. Then you can browse the games list on the other accounts you are linked to. If you see a game in their list you want to play, you send an install request to that person and if it's approved you can install the game and play it. Can't seem to find much info about whether two people on different accounts can play the same game at the same time, but my guess is that you can't.

It's also bout damn time you showed your face again zeb

So this is a good development and it's great they have put profits aside (or have they?) Many people can be turned off or straight out offended by a bad business model. Making it more user friendly for everyone will most likely have a positive effect on sales. The best of both worlds perhaps?

And wags I think a scheduler would be a great feature to incorporate into the steam platform.. Yesterday I did a reformat and realized that I had forgotten to backup arma3 and payday 2....I flicked arma 3 on while I went to bed. I would have loved to be able to set payday2 to begin downloading after arma3 as I would no doubt be asleep at the time it is over thus wasting valuable download time. A "queue up" or similar would have suited said situation perfectly.
